ANNOUNCEMENT!
(Sort of ๐Ÿ˜…)

I'm gauging interest in a Kickstarter to bring Race The Sun: Challenge Edition to PC, along with some major updates. Is that a thing you'd back? You can register your interest and read more here:

I wrote a little blog post about what sort of game we are trying to make with Spirit Crossing.

I think it's hilarious that they don't even acknowledge it in the narration.

Any indie devs here in Kyoto, especially tiny/solo devs working on your own thing? I'll be here for the next 3 weeks and I'd love to connect!

Yeah I do this too. But also I think it's fun to just randomly play around and see how games handle physics on elevators.

Are elevators in the game used to transition between different streamed scenes? Maybe players jumping messes with that somehow?

If you wanted to participate in #nanowrimo but writing a whole ass novel is too daunting and you'd like to focus on short stories - I'm working on a thing with my friend centered around just that. Let me know if you'd like a beta invite!

Do I have any game dev friends here in Japan? Iโ€™ll be in Osaka and Tokyo until Jan 2nd and Iโ€™d love to meet!

It really seems like a failure of communication that everyone in the US doesn't understand this already.

I totally agree with you, but I think itโ€™s going to be a slower death. Plenty of seniors to fill the gaps for the next 3-4 years, I bet?

I finally bit the bullet and deleted my X account a few months back. It stung a bit but I haven't looked back.
