Between taking a vacation and getting sick, I thought I wouldn't have much to show for the last couple weeks, but I managed to whip together this camera system in just a few days, so I figured I'd show it off! Very happy with this one. ๐Ÿ”‰Sound on if you'd like to hear me explain some of how it works!

It's finally coming!!
On December 8th... I'm releasing my next game, Angeline Era!!!
It's a vast, 3D action-adventure where you travel across a country's unmarked overworld, with every level hidden in plain sight.
Please look forward to it!!

Three Fingers by ฮ”t A tale of mystery and hunger

if you have some time, play this one. it's one of his most recent ones. i don't know if you'll understand my fascination if you do, but nevertheless, tell me what you left it with.

i love these games. games that put you before a brick wall with no tools to tear it down.

i'm still not over theAnemic's video games. i made NO ME to try and exorcise it but i'm not over them.

i'm gonna have to study these things with a microscope. i love them, and i need even just a small essence of their frustrating hostility for my future work.

and every creative person ever has a mountain of these ideas. ideas postponed beyond their human lifetime, into the maรฑana of "when i'm comfortable".

you won't ever see my romance VN where you continue a relationship beyond the beginning, having to maintain it.

you won't ever see the sequel to An Outcry.

you won't ever see my train-builder horror game.

none of them were shelved out of self-editing; they were shelved because i need to eat.

thinking tonight of all the ideas that have been shelved because making them would not have given the financial returns the artists needed to live

"If we could live on hopes and wishes, make movies at the speed of thought, all the movies that could have been, all the dreams that I could spin..."

prior posts rescinded - i don't like listening to myself when i don't like something.

posting is difficult for me in the first place; may as well fill it with beauty instead of disappointment!

Morceau and BLANK dancing together in dresses that are similar, but inflected for their individual styles; BLANK's is poofier and cuter, Morceau's is swishier and gothier. Morceau has just twirled BLANK out into a spin; he's a little wobbly and off-balance with it, but smiling. They both have ribbons tied around their horns.

something so inherently satisfying to building a piece of enveloping music brick by brick by brick.

been using my break to really get back into listening to and creating music. a friend showed me "girlfriends", jerry joiner's old project, and it's making me want to get back into using my looper pedal to assemble small song ideas.

there truly is a kind of rot that befalls a human beings' thought-processes once they stop thinking in terms of human lifetimes and start to assume the structure of a fiscal year instead.

first, the industry bleeds out its artists on the altar of slop.
then, it bleeds out its customers on the altar of slop.

companies like activision are now reaping what they've spent the past years sowing. crash and burn with your vapid nightmare-technology, you future-blind spendthrifts

(me trying to describe pokรฉmon gen 3's opening hours)
"so people hate zigzagoon because, in the early game, they're trying to get *ralsei*, but that's a rare encounter..."

i meant "ralts"... "ralts" is the name of the psychic pokรฉmon

Doodle of Tenna frantically drawing on an animation disk and yelling: "Animation is so hard!"
He then looks toward the viewer with a deadpan expression and says: "People who do this for a living deserve more credit and respect!"

BLANK, Blanksword's protagonist, standing in the middle of an apartment titled "Lightly Damaged Living Space". Most of its wooden floorboards have given way to a bottomless abyss.

BLANK, Blanksword's protagonist, standing in the middle of an apartment titled "Lightly Damaged Living Space". Most of its wooden floorboards have given way to a bottomless abyss.

most of the Blanksword team is taking a break until 2026 begins, in order to recuperate from the stress of the Kickstarter hustle.

i'm also trying to take it easier - mostly not working and doing for-fun art like guitar covers - but i did shake out this map earlier: "Slightly Damaged Living Space"

some recent budget-math has revealed to me that my own piece of the Kickstarter-pie will likely have to be slim compared to the team's - to the point where i'm worried about my regular expenses kicking my ass

monthly support keeps this at bay. please consider a ko-fi membership with little ol' me โ˜•
