Proud to be working with the fine folks at Outersloth.

I've rejected many publisher offers over the years, big and small. Too predatory, too much risk foisted on the dev.

In contrast, Outersloth had one of the fairest contracts I've come across in the industry - for which I'm incredibly grateful.

Announcing the amazing @katyjohnsonvo.bsky.social as the voice of our titular character, Illyia of Moonstone!

If you’re interested in providing “Huh?”, “Hmm..”, & “WAH”s for Rune Fencer Illyia, keep an eye out for potential casting calls down the line!

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

Space Cobra: "The Game is Almost finished."
Bystander: "So what happens when it's finished?"
Space Cobra: "You don't know?"
Space Cobra: "That's when finishing the game begins."

#PacificDrive OST won @ the #indiegameawards ! Grateful for this honor, & the chance to write a score so different from my others.

Thanks to @ironwood.bsky.social for trusting me with this, soloists D’Anthoni Wooten (vocals) & Sam Suggs (doublebass), & engineer @jordanfehr.bsky.social !

Any time I get eggnog for the season I end up drinking two-three glasses at a time. It's just way too addicting. I can feel it clogging my arteries

New (used) half angled 24U (12U angled, 12U on bottom) rack I got super cheap locally! Still waiting on my rack ears for the Audient EVO though to finish setting everything up.
