It's beautiful oh my gosh.

In 2023 After 5 intense hours of decoding, my brain waved the white flag—and Chants of Sennaar sat untouched for two whole years. Not the game’s fault, really.

But recently, the puzzle itch returned, and i finally finished it!

What he could wear at an elegant event:
Yes George is a pirate, he loves jewelry especially earrings. He loves attention and would therefore wear something genderless but still striking, suit with train, low open neckline etc. maybe some eye-chatching sleeves?

I'm okay with that, love to see the results

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

Yeah, Reworking Taco Tides (yes, the cat pirate game i post a wihle ago)
I'm redesigning the cats, but making a reference board turned into chaos, one rabbit hole after another.

Along the way, I lost my sanity, have a desire to be Blackbeard’s cigarette… and pet every cat in existence. Send help.

I downloaded Infinity Nikki for fun. Now I’m five weeks in, obsessively matching shoes to magical gowns like my life depends on it. 👠✨
My screen is a fashion battlefield, and I’m both the general and the victim.

More likely "Boatswain Barktholomew", if we want to stay true to our name pattern haha 😉

Oh yes! I would love to! I love seeing things of mine in other art styles! Looking forward to it. + You're not stealing it, so that's totally fine anyway :3

It probably won't change much, I'm already happy with the design but not with the lines of past-Hayes xd

Im kinda wanna re-do them, cause of my options in my drawing program back then. xd You never stop learning and are constantly evolving, right?

I had worked on a game about a year ago as part of the Secret Santa Game Jam. This was “Taco Tides”

Had reworked ref sheets for 2 of the characters I had designed. Because they shouldn't just rot on my hard disk and @theonephun211.bsky.social wanted to see them. I present to you:

Ah Thank you Zac! haha xd

I love that you and your fiancee loved it!

Enter: TACO TIDES

Our first Indie Game Showcase is done!

Thank you @zackow264.itch.io for the suggestion! We had alot of fun playing this and we're honored you put your trust in us!

Did I play through the Elden Ring DLC on release until I couldn't play any more? Yes.

Did I celebrate gaming it? Yes!!!!

Have I done and completed the final boss since then? ....

Breaking news: Seagulls now have a no-clip mod enabled! This one apparently reached level 100 in the tunnel trench - until Gordon Freeman ended the debug mode.

Apparently This seagull saw ‘The Matrix’ one time and thought she was Neo. Sorry, birdie, wrong universe.

nobody actually warns you about the emotional rollercoaster of game development:

"wow, this is kinda fun actually!"
"nah, this is the worst thing ever"
"wait, i might actually be goated"
"nvm this is terrible, i should kill myself"

Half-Life 2 - Chef's Edition! 👨‍🍳👽
On the tasty menu today: headcrab ragout and antlion fillet.

Just be careful, if the chef sizzles, he's probably got you in the recipe.

Yeah i finished Half-Life

Half-Life? Check. Only took years for me haha...

3 sessions, countless headcrabs and a slightly traumatized Crowbar memory.
Gordon Freeman would be proud - or simply annoyed by my Aim.

Conclusion: A classic for the ages, but I'm now officially allergic to ventilation shafts and Nihilanths
