Hi, I’m Case! 👋 I’m a sound designer who loves crafting sounds from scratch. Recording, tweaking, experimenting and getting my hands dirty. No dang AI generation here! While the digital world gets more “tokens this” and “credits that”, I’m happy keeping things old-school. 💜

Audiobooks should end with a credits song. Need to sit with the ending for a bit before I hear "You've been listening to...".

Proud of this particle effect created for GMTK 2026! I'll throw the sprite sheet in the replies. I wish I knew how to make the particles appear on a ring, without some of the particles crossing over the center. Had to compensate by starting the particles at scale=0. #godot #krita #gmtk

My prediction for GMTK (them: Count down) was going to be lots of rockets and bombs. But so far ... it's not paning out that way? This year I feel like the most common interpretation of the theme is "kinda ignored the theme". Huh.

SirLich @sirlich.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Anyone participating in GMTK 2026? I'm finding the theme a real drag. For me, the "countdown" is the moment BEFORE the action. Struggling to build a game within that framing.

A hater's 🧵 to counter "AI is improving" boosters - Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is the ONLY major innovation in LLMs since their 2022 debut. Aside from that, all iterative improvements have been smaller: - "Thinking" loops - Larger context window - Orchestration - Retraining

Whatever players do with digital games, we need to cross a line at STREAMING games from a server. This is the next step and would give TOTAL CONTROL of our games ownership to companies. 💾

Winners for the coolmathgames jam have been announced. I didn't win (the actual winners were well deserved -no shade!) The jam was a bit of a let-down though. The jury didn't leave any feedback, and the game got in total ~30 browser plays? A far cry from e.g., Ludum Dare.

We just made the Midgame Fund agreement public. midgame.fund/terms The money TL;DR is: - Devs pay investors back from the game's revenue after it releases (if ever). - 75% of revenue pre-recoup. - 25% of revenue post-recoup, until 6 times the investment or 5 years after release.

We give you money to make the game, and you give us a share of its revenue.
