Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We did a small build-check event last night in prep for our upcoming Alaska Gamedev Exp (www.akdevalliance.com/akgamedevexp...) and it was a really great time. About half of the weekends games were represented and honestly kinda restored my faith in what I've been doing the last 3-4 years. 160
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That's wild. I remember really liking Flyboys as a teen, though I have not seen it since. Pretty sure I saw this in theaters? 000
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I mean- obviously this wouldn't get big uptake, and the K shaped economy is gonna K this into the ground. a year ago scavving junk local companies were throwing out was the answer, now even that is becoming less affordable. 000
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yea this would be great. Lets bring back the Ouya! Ouya! Ouya! Why am I the only one chanting??🥲 100

Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Like yea, I really believe you played two of my games (one that's not very good) and we're so impressed that you found my email and want to work with me, but didn't at any point learn my name? The thing that's all over my games? Fuckin wild. 000
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It is weird how every email I get looking to generate business that's like "wow we loved Soul King, a fast paced FPS and PROVIDER, a action exploration game!" That was clearly written by ChatGPT thinks that they're somehow the only firm that thought to use AI to pretend they played my games. 110
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Tremors 1,2, and 4 are among my favorite movies. The whole series is fun, but quality is a lot more variable after SS Wilson leaves. Show is wild fun as well. 221

That offer became my murine husband, The Prince of All Rats. It was exciting, and very fun to write. It was also incredibly uplifting as I dealt with post-layoff stress and self-doubt. 126444
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Not to me, but that's just where I draw the line. Retribution and reform, punishment overall, have been on my mind a lot recently between the Lindsay Clancy case, Christina Pike, even the recent Jacob Geller stuff. I don't have a great answer for any of it, but it's frequently on my mind. 010
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't know that anyone "deserves" to be in charge. It's a compromise every time. Do I like her policy/stance more than the next candidate? This casts her in a different light as a person, but does that make the other guy better? does it make her so much of a compromise that I can't vote for her? 110
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't count myself a particularly strong supporter of Peltola (obligatory "she's supported things I don't" here) but I don't understand the "deseve" language being used by folks to talk about her. Especially in AK where RCV gives us more granularity* to support candidates at varying levels.anchoragepress.comOpinion: Who gets grace and who gets the sword?Why a call for an apology from Mary Peltola falls short. 120

Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Maria played her first game last night. Had lots of fun and played some solid defense. Sorry for the most scuffed glass ever to exist 001

Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Most of the "My female significant other plays hockey" shirts I could find were all very agressive, like "My girlfriend who plays hockey is better than your non-hockey girlfriend", which is very much not the vibe I'm going for. 010
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I wanted to get one that says "My favorite hockey player calls me Grandma" because I'm only 30 and a very dude-ey looking dude but Maria thought that was a little too esoteric so Hockey Wife it is. 110
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 27/09/2026My Wife Maria plays her first rec league hockey game tomorrow so naturally I got myself a tshirt that says "Hockey Wife" in script on the front of it. 120

Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Saw the new Resident Evil movie. Almost a great movie, but ended up just being pretty good. Pretty strong movie for most of the runtime, only to kind of flub the last 10-15 minutes. 010

Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 11/09/2026We're aiming for a PS1 or sort of a late-90s PC aesthetic, so the goal is simple geometry with noisy textures. I'm leaving for a trip right now so don't have anything on hand but if you shoot me a DM I can send you some more info when I'm at my computer! 110
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Not really, it's a standard Hobby/Rev-Share kinda deal. 001
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Hell yea, I'll shoot you a DM once I'm at my PC with some more info (probably an 2-3 hours) 110
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 10/09/2026But then when you're like half way in, now it's my project that I'm trying to bring you onto, oh and also we have like a $200 budget, how can you possibly resist this job offer? 010
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I hate recruiting for an ongoing project. It's always better (imo) to be at the beginning where the whole team can get invested in what you're making and feel some real ownership over it. It feels like *our* project. 120
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Some how I went like 20 years never hearing about the shit Brad Pitt did in the early 2000's. Not until seeing a lot of people complain about his producer credit on Camp Miasma did I look up and read the short version. Yeesh. 😬 001

Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Oh man Assassins Creed on DS & iOS too, I think it was a side-story, but turned it into an isometric action-adventure game. I can feel my bones creakingstatic.klipy.comZack D Films 3d AnimationALT: Zack D Films 3d Animation 020
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026DUDE I was so into RAGE Mutant Bash on my ipod Touch back in the day. Pretty cool DooM 3 rail shooter too. Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 Mobile too (though that's more of a direct translation than a reconfiguration) Man I'm getting old 😅 120
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Alaskan devs are cooking some cool shit! If you're interested in gaming and live in the #anchorage #alaska area, you should have the Alaska Gamedev Expo on your radar! 062
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026this also reminds me of Resident Evil Gaiden for (GBC or OGB?) where they replicated Resident Evil formula in the shape of a JRPG. Clever people given impossible tasks that found unique solutions to their problems. I dig it. 120
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It's hella impressive that DooM 2016 and MK1 run on the switch, don't get me wrong, but there's a part of me (maybe just nostalgia) that can't help but wish we got a unique version that played to the strengths/weaknesses of the platform. DooM 64 is a good example within that very series. 130
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I feel like we did lose something special/interesting with the loss of bespoke Mobile versions of big games. Even as far back as the Vita mobile versions of big games/series are generally identical to their console counterparts, just with less particles/texture-quality/framerate/etc 140
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026For sure, I think it's more interesting when they're turned into something totally different. Might just be the age I played them at, but I was always captivated by the way DSCOD specifically replicated the feeling of the full games with practically no resources. DS FPS's overall are intrigue me 010
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026the project I'm currently working on is intended to play like a 2D port of a mid-series Resident Evil game using isometric angle and simple 3D characters layered into it (maybe going to render them to sprites to complete the look, not sure yet) Obv lots of placeholder textures/assets here. 130
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Yea this is very much something I've been working on capturing (to varying degrees of success) with my last few projects. I want to make games that feel like a charming demake of something that doesn't exist, fusing modern design into old rendering techniques and aestetics 120
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026GBA was great for this, but even the NDS era had some really cool ones. Ballistic Ecks vs Sever, The Sum of All Fears (GBA), Kill.Switch(GBA), the COD games (NDS), Chronicles of Narnia (GBA), the list goes on. They don't all have the same vibe, but they all have this clever ingenuity I respect. 130
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026This is a style of game I'd really like to be making. It feels sort of like demakes of a game, where developers are either trying to fit an IP/Game into an older style of gameplay or meld the older design principles of mobile/low-power platforms with more modern design sensibilities. Love them. 270
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It's like that show Zoo where all the animals want to kill people, but instead of the main cast being conservationists we replace all of them with incredibly macho hunters. It's wild. 000
Wyatt "Anaqa" White @wy477.bsky.social · 05/09/2026If you haven't experiencesd it yet, Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2013 is legit one of the wildest FPS experiences I've ever had. 2011 is cool as well, but requires emulation to be even a little playable. 100
