I did it! I made a small little game/demo within 48 hrs for the #LudumDare #gamejam. It’s titled “The De𝒕𝒆𝒄ℎtive” and you can play it here: ► ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/the-… And yes, it’s my take on an FMV adventure! 🦄✨ #ldjam #noAI

Screenshot of the title screen in 640×360 px. It's a dark silhouette of a detective with a fedora against a gray blue background. The title reads "The DeTECHtive" in blue and yellow, underneath "Presented in stunning SVGA!" and "Click or ENTER to START"

Screenshot from the game in all its dithered, pixelated glory with a 3d-rendered UI frame, and empty inventory and scene of a darkened room with a shelf and a TV set.

I want to feel burned out from making my silly projects, not my Actual Job™️. In other news: The #LudumDare #gamejam is this weekend. So I get to enjoy both. Yay me! 🥲🤪🥳

To whom it may concern: Today around noon we'll be at the GameDev Days Graz which means 4.5 hrs of sleep and 300 km on the road 🥲👍 I'm very much looking forward to the talks and the amazing people! I'll even try to be less shy 🤞 #gamedev #graz #TUgraz

Apropos of nothing: I revisited The Asylum club in “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines” and tried to give it a cinematic look since, you know, I’m a colorist by profession 😅 #vampire #bloodlines #colorgrading #resolve

With Windows Search being utterly slow, broken, and unusable, I’ve coded up a little Python script that allows me to use RegEx. In this comparison I’m searching for all files with the word "Subtractor" and it’s about 100× faster than Microslop. 🤪 #python #windows

@captainarcee Oh that makes sense! Probably the only things that still use MIDIs. I wonder if there still are MySpace sites with autoplaying MIDIs around...

I am also working on my “Mediocre MIDI Pack”, a collection of 80+ MIDI files (many of them loopable) I made in the past 3 decades with a strong shareware aesthetic. Would this be something any of you’d be interested in for your #gamedev endeavors? (I’m planning on making it donationware.) #music

Another in-progress screenshot of my #EGA #pixelart. There's a lot to do on the desk and background, though. Overthe #Aseprite preview window I put a #ShaderGlass instance with some intense VHS shader and aspect ratio correction to evaluate color bleeding. 😊

Just finished* my unintentional summer project, cataloging and archiving all of my songs and musical artifacts I made over the years. What a relief to be finally done with it and know that my decades old songs are now in open formats wherever possible. *until I make more music #archiving

Screenshot of a list of my music per year from 1998 to 2026. The bottom reads "1245 items in 29 years"

Screenshot of the folder information of the root of my songs directory listing 34,799 files, 7,995 folder with a combined size of 237 GB

Screenshot of a sample of my catalogue listing three songs with name, date, rating, tags for software used, and descriptions with links to inspirations, cross references an plug-ins used per song.

Not to be confused with Message Pump from 2025. This one is a beat-centric electronic track influenced by Bürokrat by Stéphane Picq from KGB. In 2026 I renamed it to Picq to avoid confusion and collisions with the 2025 song.

Some overly drawn out sketches using the KORG M1. The first one in reminiscent of Caldoria by Geno Andrews from The Journeyman Project as I had stumbled across the same preset he used. The other one starts off a little like Wolfstack Lights by Maribeth Solomon & Brent Barkman from Sunless Sea.

deflemask

My first chiptune for the GameBoy, I think. I had played around GB Studio (game engine) and had already a little action game set on the moon for which I wanted to compose music. Turns out, GB Studio doesn’t support loading your own .gb songs so this turned to be a standalone instead. I even tried to export to Deflemask in the hopes to save it in a format that GB Studio supported but no dice. I don’t even remember how I managed to get an .gb file out of it since Furnace doesn’t support that output format.

Since I’ve been posting a lot about #CRAY supercomputers, here’s the one I saw in Jurassic Park: Trespasser. Sadly, there it’s completely circular. I enjoyed the game a lot, so much love went in there despite it falling apart at times 😅 #retrocomputing #jurassicPark

Nothing says “compact” better than “100 square feet of floor space” 🙃

Screenshot from a promo brochure of the time reading:

The elegant and compact CRAY X-MP mainframe consists of 12 vertical columns arranged in a 270° arc; each column houses chassis holding up to 72 modules. Power supplies and cooling are clustered around the base and extend outward to provide seating for maintenance personnel.

Physical Characteristics of the CRAY X-MP Mainframe
• 100 square feet of floor space for mainframe
• 5.25 tons mainframe weight
• 9.5 nanosecond clock period
• Liquid refrigerant cooling
• 400 Hz power from motor generators

So cray what this supercomputer looked like; they don’t make them like they used to. Yes, it even has a little upholstered bench to sit on. 🥰 #Retrocomputing #retro #ComputerHistory #cray

I guess that is also why I love sharing my creative process along the results. I hope that maybe inspired someone along the way as much as the old DVD extras had inspired me. Case in point my LD41 keynote + Making Of: ► youtube.com/watch?v=TjuZvDYqcRs Making Of: youtube.com/watch?v=weU8Wopqvno […]

You know what I miss with everything being streamed? The DVD extras: Making Ofs, Behind the Scenes, outtakes, filmmakers’ commentary, etc. To me, they were like the dessert to watching the movie, and shaped my passion for How Things Are Made and got me into the film/media industry. I want more!
