New UI design for my word game that integrates a new #lovecraftian theme with some art deco elements. Haven't updated the main game assets yet, but that will come once the game design is more settled. I'll have some gameplay with the new systems up soon! #solodev #indiedev #wordgame #gamedev

It’s been a heartbreaking time since we saw the writing on the wall. Unfortunately I was directly affected by this reduction. It was such an incredible place to work at, and I’m so grateful for the time I was able to spend with so many inspiring people. #vrdev www.gamesindustry.biz/vr-developer...

Currently playing the Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss preview. It's technically and artistically impressive. @polyarcgames.com has created something special. More coverage soon.

#Onwords dev blog My game is looking more like… a game? Finished a lot of work on the level editor which allows for these more creative levels and obstacles, then did a quick UI pass. Footage is sped up because I am bad at my own game lol #indiedev #gamedev
