i'm still doing gamedev on The Looming Spire but the nature of things I'm working on is extremely boring and doesn't lend itself well to fancy screenshots or clips. so just pretend I posted a cool mind-blowing screenshot here.

crazy maps with elaborate puzzles and moving pieces are my bread and butter. but sometimes its enough to just be a little homie out there openin' chests.

When this album came out I was still a fairly new parent, and part of that meant I was rocking a toddler to sleep every night. To keep myself awake, I would wear earbuds and listen to music. This album occupied that space for many months. I will always associate it with holding my little girl.

there's not really a "best" way to handle what you've gone through, I don't think.

I did some code things for this game (mostly menu programming). Give it a wish!

i think the biggest fundamental Thing turn-based rpg devs can do to improve their combat is to consider turn economy. there's a lot deeper nuance you could take into this, but on the surface level, everyone who's played an older game has felt this:

why use poison when the battle is over next turn?

Surprise! You can see some of my work in a couple of Rocket's animations throughout the new trailer :D

yeah that's understandable. Though I thought it was really cool how at the end of 4 you got to see how all the discrete dungeons were all one big connected labyrinth after all.

Etrian 4 was the first one I got all the way through. I'm not sure why people don't like it, it's maybe my favorite overall.

can yall just start playing more rpg maker games instead of getting mad that a team of 30 wasn't working with 2 quarters & a paperclip for their rpg. I can assure you there's solo rpgm devs working with 2 paperclips and a nothing. You can put them on a big pedestal! They'll really appreciate it!!๐Ÿ˜Š
