💜 FISHBOWL UPDATED DEMO OUT ON STEAM AND PS5 💜

In case you missed @indiefanfest.bsky.social, here is our latest gameplay trailer with voiceover by @kimchica.bsky.social 🫶🏽

"I think that telling Alo’s story, in part, through the many small things she does to care for herself through the grief and the chaos, has the potential to build into something really powerful."

Read our preview of Fishbowl from @imissmyfriends.bsky.social here:

Already proud! 😤💗

Out here just trying to make @kimchica.bsky.social and @tftblpod.bsky.social proud.

We weren't able to get funding for ENGINE ANGEL and I've been laid off from Ivy Road, so I'm looking for new full-time animation work (New reel is below! YT link: youtu.be/S4QWqyw_vEs)

Everyone else laid off in the thread are amazing people and great at what they do so please hire them ASAP!!

I'm incredibly sad that we weren't able to keep the team together ~ here's hoping that something does come up in the future where everyone can reunite (whether via Engine Angel or another project)!

In the meantime: if you can, HIRE THESE FOLKS! 😤 Happy to vouch for any one of them!!

This Friday at 5pm Central, we're streaming an ICE Out charity stream from the MinnMax Studio with @giantbomb.bsky.social to raise money for VEAP - a nonprofit who is stepping up with meal delivery and rent assistance to immigrants in Minneapolis.

You can donate right now! bit.ly/iceoutminneapolis

Thanks to all who have checked out the show, and here's to 2026!

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

Developer Lessons to Be Grateful for in 2025 A look at some lessons learned and things to be grateful for in 2025.

At the beginning of the year, I launched a podcast called Little Victories with the intent of interviewing game developers about their craft. As the year ends, Taylor from Jetson Plays Games was graceful enough to let me write about the seven lessons these luminaries taught me, and hopefully you.

This is so lovely! Thanks for the read, and the amazing chat 💖✨ Here’s to many more!

I had to hop out, but Josh is still going!

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).

Unless… 🤔

It was such a treat joining Min, Pat, and Payton on @slowburncast.bsky.social again! 💛
