Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 2hAlso thank you to everybody that has been playing and talking about Nighthawks. This first bedroom scene I painted sums up my aim for the game, trying to capture a particular atmosphere of being awake in a world where most people are asleep. It's been great to see people get that. 0152
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 2hIn Gilt you play an outcast priest, haunted by a dying God, wielding divine powers in your travels through a strange world. But more importantly, you get to meet this lizard (frog?) guy. store.steampowered.com/app/3979770/... 33514
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I was singing at a quiet Sunday afternoon gig this weekend and some staff from the aged care place my Grandma lives in were there so they snuck a photo of me and now she has this stuck up on her wall haha. 2331
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This week I had to explain that Gilt does not have a ‘stuffy’ religious tone. It is varied and unpredictable. Like mythology in general. Look, you can choose to be a stodgy pedant at times. That’s up to you, though, not me. 1376
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Nighthawks has been out for a week! I’m happy people are enjoying it. Here’s a fun behind the scenes look, because sometimes the easiest way to get a good reference is to dress up and pose yourself… 919926
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Really happy that folks are enjoying Nighthawks. Now that it’s out, I have been focused on getting back to Gilt and trying to make something really special out of it. 815133
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I don’t think Steam really needs to keep track of this number tbh, it seems like this number is nobody’s business including my own. 4120
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Woke up at 5, the sky sure looks nice this morning. 2160
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I get asked about the night sky out where I live, well, I took this photo of the Milky Way on my phone after dinner. :) 3161
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I have been thinking about Umberto Eco’s description of Dan Brown for three days. 1214
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Listening to some very pink albums at the moment. 3100
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I read There Are Doors by Gene Wolfe recently and if you want to know how strange it was, I kept thinking “This feels like playing a text adventure, tonally” a lot of the time. It would be much harder to map out, though. 2312
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I now own two big, orange over-engineered pens. 1211
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Can’t tell if Fanny’s name being accidentally spelled ‘Fannie’ here is a typo or a Clue because who knows with Wolfe… 250
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Lmao, I only use social media on my iPad, and this is the state of the Bluesky app for iPad. It hasn’t worked quite right… ever. 100
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 11/08/2026No matter how much on an interesting weirdo I might ever be, I’ll never reach such great heights. 3307
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 08/08/2026The reason I like low saturation base colours with a single high saturation feature colour goes back a way… 4331
Ben Chandler @threeohfour.bsky.social · 05/08/2026If you want to know how tiny the novelty stegosaurus pen is, it might help to understand that my hands are already freakishly large when trying to hold normal pens 0120
