Got sorta obsessed with mission patches a few weeks ago, so I made some for my game production students. Congrats to Cardinalis III on launching their games.

Next Wednesday I will be paddling a rubber duck across a pool to win some money for Ball State CS. If I get the MOST DONATIONS that hour (Noon-1pm Eastern), we get an extra bit of bonus cash. More people at less money is best! You can donate here (specify CS when donating) oneballstate.bsu.edu

Infinity Nikki devs just sent out a game mail ranting about content leaks ("poison to all creation" phrasing rules though) and gave every player a free hammer. Scary!

Ball State University is hosting their game symposium later this year - we have track for games. Would love for game devs to bring their games out to showcase. If you're writing / academically inclined, there's space for that too. www.symposiumongames.org

Went through and did all the scaling stuff - gltf, fbx, blender imports all got kinda weird, see the jagged knees / stretched sleeve. I found a tool that makes ANOTHER rig from my rigify rig and bakes animations. Its.. cumbersome, but it works. So many times I feel like technology should "just work"

I think that hitting your area code in citations should be enough for tenure. (Its not, but it was a fun number to see) (Yes I am the person that has to search for my papers when I need to cite them again)

Now that itch has a section for "fun games" I believe we have fully made it as an artistic practice.

Finished Expedition 33, a beautiful game about grief through and through. Sciel remained the reason to play, starting from the moment she said, "Death is a friend who will welcome me home."

I've been getting really into fashion games recently (and Infinity Nikki's release didn't help), so I made a fashion bear game for @arcadecommons.org's game jam last weekend. Did a bit of polish today. Its a silly game, just what I needed.
