I've written another post over on Substack, which you can view ∞ here ∞. I'm still not entirely sure whether to stick with Substack instead of posting here, but it offers some convenience features my own site lacks when it comes to writing posts etc, so since I've been lacking motivation recently, it was the most appealing option in this case.

I've been working on the models for the main characters of Dreamons! Also, do you know of any places where other creators post about their lives alongside what they've made??

Money, Kickstarter

I want to talk a bit about money again: how much I'm earning each month, and how the amount that other indie games raise on Kickstarter does convince me to give that a go.

Mario & FFVIII & Sora AI

10 months ago 1,244 1
Some rather brief (ha) thoughts about Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Super Mario RPG Remake, Final Fantasy VIII, and a new video-generating AI called Sora. Those things are all related, right??

A project I've hinted at for a while has finally manifested in some form! Though this is far from the first time I've made something like this...

Looking Back at Memody: Sindrel Song

1 year ago 1,214 6
I recently replayed this eccentric 'musical memory game' I actually finished and released in 2019. Despite some fears that I'd cringe over concerns about its content, I ended up feeling mostly impressed and in some cases surprisingly emotional! It's such a shame so few people got to experience the most moving moments though due to the gameplay barrier in the way...

Weekly Update - Implemented Elements Revisions & Shards!!

Atonal Dreams: ~2 Years Of Progress

3 years ago 2,581 3
Atonal Dreams was meant as a short standalone prequel to a longer reimagining of the MARDEK story - itself a reworking of another project I'd started on earlier - which I intended to finish within six months to a year. It's been either about a year and a half, two years, or two years and four months since I started - depending on where the start is considered to be - and the finish line still seems distant. In this obnoxiously long, image-heavy post, I want to look back over the entire development journey, to see how the game has evolved each month.

Weekly Update - The Hows & Whys of Figmon

3 years ago 2,408 8
It's already September! How did THAT happen?? I've been working on Atonal Dreams for over a year... So much for the hope I could start and finish in 6 months like I did with Memody: Sindrel Song!

Looking Back at 2020

4 years ago 3,280 7
Well, we survived 2020 somehow! Or at least some of us did, myself surprisingly included. I've also been quite productive this year, so - as is my tradition - I shall look back on all the stuff I've made here!
