The Spectral Engine by Ray Fawkes

Happy Birthday to my younger brother I don't have contact with outside Animal Crossing, checked out a library book related to trains to celebrate from halfway across the country

I keep half asleep falling for my own post only to realize the link is my own game after clicking

I may be biased but this game is cool as fuck and more people should give it a chance

Vekari: Remote Bypass cover art featuring main characters Acro, Iliana, and Enoch using their strengths to prevent Kori from falling into a pit while she crushes a glitched creature with a combo computer and aquarium. The hall they are in is full of nonsensical details as it is glitched.

A fake news site page inside Vekari: Remote Bypass that appears corrupted. This is actually a puzzle page where players must find a code word to enter into a password box to progress to the next room of the building. The puzzles get progressively more difficult here. If you'd like to try this specifically, go to 16th Street and enter the sideways/glitched building

Gareth's Gears Gareth looks up from his desk whwn you step in, a warm smile on his face. "Ah, always good to see a familiar face 'round 'ere! Glad ya came back in one piece. What can I do you for?" [dialogue options] "Of course I'm not dead" "I was going to offer for free" "How much for 30 minutes of you?"

A text-based virtual world in 2026? With hand-drawn art? The entire world lore and ongoing story revolves around the long lasting effects of trauma? Commentary on the damage of Gen AI? Old school forums to browse? HTML puzzles? Your decisions actually do something?

It exists.

This one is a simple card game you can print and play OR you can play on Tabletop Simulator using the little mod I made: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

I made an entire custom deck just for the vibes, please appreciate my commitment to Vekari lore

Tommyrot reunion painting in progress, indirectly lit by my kitchen. Starting to come together. The guys are red-tinted because of the show's lighting, otherwise painted in using the colours of the lights above them (orange-pink-purple-blue) and the occasional black line or white highlight. The guitarist is still a blank white base as is the ceiling and light details

Tommyrot reunion painting lit by a blacklight. The dudes have more bold highlights and shadows and the whole painting has the vibe of actually being at a show this way. Lots of work to do with the round lights still

Painting update

We are slowly getting somewhere

Happy puppy

I used this to "generate" inspiration for a new Vekari creature and it went beautifully

Look at this. Fuck your GenAI. GenAI could never do this.

Behold this marvelous, transcendental HONSE

I love this site so much youraislopbores.me

It's #BandcampFriday so consider grabbing Monarch or WtF to support their work and hopefully get to hear the next one soon:

Got blood on the wires
Show me your fire
Scream if you like
It'll just get me higher
Painted it all as a burnin' desire
I'm not quite a monster
More like inspired 😉

Hack! by Inkus Alters A casual game about hacking brain chips

Recently on Nova, Ash mentioned something called a "hack bar" that left people wondering what he was talking about. He later elaborated that it was a card game, but gave no more information.

Well, now you can learn it too

Good, it's working

Turned off all the tones and colors just to see what only the line art for this looks like. Ahaha it looks like I made the world's hardest coloring book page

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

This genuinely pulls me through the art block and keeps me working on it some days 💀

Dante Basco has thought vekari.net was cool since before it got its own website, and I know this because he pulled it up on his phone in front of me and said so

He also got to meet Acro in person (as I was cosplayed as him) and was disgusted and impressed by my gore makeup and the glowy mask lol

It's a simple little thing but I felt connected and it was nice for other people in my family to be intrigued by the same things I was for a little bit. One plug and play stick captured the attention of like 5 or 6 people at once that day

My grandma had one of these bad boys in the tv stand that I played with my sister and cousins for a while and I remember thinking we broke it when we stumbled on glitches accidentally

It was cool to see a game break for the first time with everyone else, for other people to be as curious as I was

In progress painting of Tommyrot reunion, starting with the bass guitar + hands holding it

Continued progress on the Tommyrot bassist with more detail on his hands and base shading started on his legs

Continuing work on the bassist's legs, making th colours more solid and adjusting how I wanted the colours to look under blacklight

The painting of the bassist as he is right now under a blacklight, appearing colourfully lit just like he would at a show

Big fan of neon paints

Facebook gave me no way to delete reviews and seeing it every day made me feel awful so I redid everything, started from scratch

I'm still here. Still painting. Still drawing. Now also making games and music and writing again.

Still here

Some Inkus history:

When I started out painting Magic the Gathering cards, I initially just used my name

I later redid my entire social presence after a random account on Facebook got so upset about me existing that they trashed my pages with transphobic comments and reviews

Vekari Jam! A game jam from 2026-06-01 to 2026-07-31 hosted by Inkus Alters. Far in the future, several dozen light years away, exists a planet called Vekari. Vekari is an anomaly of the cosmos, hidden in the fol...

The first ever #VekariJam runs from June 1 to July 31 and is open to all art forms and skill levels. Games, zines, you name it, it goes!

The theme is finding hope through hopelessness, because I think we need more of that right now. 4.5 months to go through vekari.net!

Since the first pack was capped out.

We are continuing the thrive and vibe from the first and continuing the spread of positivity and support to other Transgender Artist.

Trans brothers, sisters and those in-between. I will be grabbing those who didn't fit last time & more.

You know the world needs my j-splatter inspired Lucifer hires you to rescue Jesus (captured on his second coming by prosperity gospel evangelicals and put on tap for HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD(tm)) zine game, which was inspired by @youngles.bsky.social's period post.
