Ongoing power outage for the past 28 hours here in Honolulu from Hurricane Lala. Haven't opened fridge yet. At least the water is still running because of my building's backup generator.

Happy first day of August, and happy first week of #AugustAdventures2026!!! To participate, create artwork inspired by either ONE of BOTH of that week's prompts, post it and tag #AugustAdventures and/or #AugustAdventures2026.

Forsaken Flesh Body Art Gallery: it's the gory physics-based #VR game I made for #PervertJam 2026. Chop people up & glue them back together to make fabulous art for your gallery... IN HELL. #GameDev #Godot #IndieGameDev Here's some deeply troubling art I made in-game that are yet safe for work:

WIP: I've added "Human Bonding Compound" to the VR game I'm making for #PervertJam. It allows you to glue multiple body parts together. You can also use it to make additional little flesh balls & chain them together to make wobbly "appendages". #GameDev #Godot

WIP: After a weekend of jamming, I've got the ragdoll bodies, joints, axe, & gore working for my #PervertJam #VR game. The jam theme is "pound of flesh". Here, you create sculptures out of body parts for your body art gallery. #GameDev #Godot

I'm in. #pervertjam's theme is "pound of flesh" I'm going to make a physics-based VR game w/ #Godot. Making a body-horror / avant-garde art gallery game that answers the question that nobody is asking: "what art can you make w/ dismembered members?"🦵💪🪓🎨🤔

I haven't posted in a while. Been a rough month. An uncle died, then my dad visited, and I find that he has shockingly bad Alzheimers. Now I'm on day 12 of a sore throat that has morphed into a sinus cold. I almost forgot the bathroom wall plumbing hole I've been waiting a month for landlord to fix.

Serious talk: Don't compare yourself to other devs/artists, especially with regards to how much they get done. Learn from them. Get your motivation/inspiration. But don't make them your "productivity goals". Focus on your relationship with yourself and your craft. A thread. 🧵👇 #gamedev #indiedev

Such dramatic procedurally generated animations! Apply random ranged rotations to armature joints and we get this very melodramatic goblin, ranting about the state of the world. #gamedev #indiegamedev #VRJam9 #procgen

Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat." @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

Stormy and gray this sunrise, with horizontal rain. The City & County of Honolulu's non-essential services/offices are closed again, for the 3rd time this year due to severe weather!

I pressed the snooze button this morning, and had a dream that I was at in-person game jam where the theme was: "the simpler the simpler then" But I kept forgetting the theme because it was not written down anywhere. I remembered it after much difficulty, and woke up repeating it.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will stop running "scheduled" Ludum Dare events in 3 years! "Scheduled" is the key word though. My hope is that leaders within the community can build something better, more welcoming, that honors our legacy. They've got 3 years to figure it out. You even get to study me. 😋 #LDJam

Once again, it feels very strange to be making videogames with all this insane stuff is going on. Selfishly, I'd like world peace, not just for everyone else, but so that I can just, you know, enjoy my day and make nice things for nice people.

one of the coolest jams on itch is happening again, and the theme is more important now than ever… 🔥 Fuck Capitalism Jam 2026 🔥 “We're living in shitty times, but there's room for optimism. Capitalism is collapsing; that much is obvious.” itch.io/jam/fuck-cap... let’s go! 👆

What a fun challenge! It could work for #gamedev as well. It's a good way to revisit your old works and see how much/little you've changed.
