Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

Hey quick question does anyone know of a good org to donate old laptops / consoles to where they can be put to good use? In London or at the least the UK

GOLDEN AXE DooM!

Decided to spice up the beginning to add some dramatic flair to the final showdown of MAP09!

A moot on twitter gave me the idea after showing me a bit from Chrono Trigger

I am very excited for you all to experience the final boss fight, I have a lot of cool ideas in store!

Ok so Iโ€™ve been pretty unproductive one way or the other but I DID eventually figure out why ALL GAMES stutter a bit on my laptop. Turns out I just needed to sort out the fans. If you use Linux on a thinkpad you should look at thinkfan - github.com/vmatare/thin...

This week Iโ€™ve been mostly working on ladders. Which is about as fun as ever.

This evening I am puzzling over a debug log I left myself - โ€œyou are not moving intentionallyโ€
