ICYMI, our game My Friends the Monster Trainers was nominated for a Thinky Award! Still psyched to get a mention in the extremely stacked Best Free Game category, and I’m looking forward to catching as much of the ceremony as I can Wednesday.

my new game The Red Pearls of Borneo is out a week early and available for free on itch.io

You are a clairvoyant investigator in 1948 London, exploring the psychic echoes of a tragedy that occurred eight years prior on a remote plantation in Borneo.

It suits the mood of the game better as well I think.

Detective Fest on Steam is here, and options are plentiful. Instead of just a big list, I want to try “If you played this, have you looked at these?” for many notable detective games and some of my favs. Each top level game will have a demo you can try out now, and all are released on Steam

I finished the lineart for the map of my new game The Red Pearls of Borneo. Now time to paint.

My new “detective puzzle mystery” game The Red Pearls of Borneo is ready for external testing.
If anyone wants to take part in the testing, DM me.

I am working on a new murder mystery game. You are a psychic investigator figuring out what happened on a tobacco plantation in 1930s Borneo where everyone mysteriously disappeared.
Tech demo of how the mechanics of the game will work is up on YouTube:

I released my Interactive Fiction What Happened to the Crew? last week to little fanfare. I was just happy to share my work with other fans of the genre.

Within a week it’s at over 1000 plays, 5-star reviews and glowing comments from players enjoying the ride.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I enjoyed Type Help so much that I decided to create an interactive fiction game in the same style.

What Happened to the Crew is a totally free terminal-based sci-fi mystery inspired by Type Help, Obra Dinn and Immortality.

It’s available now on itch.io

an ad for the new series “welcome to derry” with the tagline “go back to where IT all began“, except somehow, they highlighted the word “to“ instead of “it“

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"

"no problem boss. i'm on it"

New game released: What happened to the Crew? - What happened to the crew?

My current games rotation:
- Silksong
- Metal Gear Delta
- Death Stranding 2
- Borderlands 4

I posted on Twitter how much I liked the animations of Hornet from Silksong that reminded me of Alucard, and a completely unnecessary fight started there over nothing, I wanted to understand where people get so much hate from. x__x (I hope here is better)

Then explain to me why this is okly a problem in the states? Easy access to guns is the only reason. Wake up.

My current games rotation:
- Death Stranding 2
- Silksong (as soon as it’s out)
- Tiny Bookshop
- Is this seat taken?

Because Dems or other major public figures they don’t want to hurt are also in the files. But unlike Republicans, we’re not delusional and a cult, we’re well aware that both parties suck at the moment.

Not only that but walking out to stop a bill passing is a common tactic of Republicans in Oregon. They do it far more often than the Texan Dems. The hypocrisy is unreal.

That is such a weird response. I’m French so yes I know how to get to Paris but DC isn’t some weird third world place, it’s very easy to get there too. I was only making the comparison to Paris because they happened days apart. I could have easily said the NY Macy’s Parade to the same effect.
