I won’t be at GDC this year. I’ll be home playing Marathon in-between baby feedings in a constant state of sleep deprived cybernetic fever dream. Hit me up if you want to squad up!

Research is the coziest phase of game dev. Anyone else got any video/talk recs on #narrativedesign

Dug up some old childhood drawings this weekend. When I was 10 years old I wanted to make a mascot platformer where all the characters are the personification of all the holidays, like a #Halloween mage with cargo shorts.

It sounds like Gumbcardia by @gumbonyc.bsky.social was a hit at Anime NYC last weekend. Cool to know some Myrtle Grove cards are floating around in the world out there.

Was riding by Target this morning on the way to work, upset that my Nintendo pre-order hasn’t shipped yet. Saw the line for the Switch 2 and said “F*** it”. They had more than enough for the line and some left over! #Switch2

It’s one thing if it’s a pitch deck but in the literal brand ID of a shipping product you better know the origin of the look.

References for Citrus also ranged from the Chobai Ad, to photos of Iceland, and DJI drones. #solarpunk

Citrus, our game for the Zero Day Solarpunk Game Jam was influenced by a number of things. But most of all, the thesis of letting technology reveal nature to us, is key to the #solarpunk genre and inspired by a book I love called Ways of Being by @jamesbridle.bsky.social avleestudio.itch.io/citrus
