I'm going to make a jumping flash-like prototype. Sometimes you just gotta make a little prototype game

New lil guy just dropped

In the game I'm working on an area with a lot of criss-crossing bridges so I made a tool for making bridges quickly with the ability to bake them out instantly to meshes with LODs and colliders #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I'm doing fine post-Pax demo work. I'm not in a months-long slump at all. I made this fuckin guy and I'm going to replace all of the enemies in the game with him.

The entire temple and sequence was conceived and then created in just 3 weeks in the lead up to a demo submission

Early in the game you gain gliding and resurrection power and it was hard to figure out how you receive these until the idea came to merge them and theme it on the greek Goddess Selene. This lead to the Light of Selene temple sequence. Who is watching you through those eyes?? #indiedev

13 Cool Games We Just Saw At PAX East That Should Be On Your Radar - Kotaku

The Boston convention is lacking in big names, but it’s still got smaller indie standouts on the showfloor

I am at PAX, find me at the PAX Rising booth!

Saw a few disturbing AI things at GDC - it's important to keep an eye on these people - I walked into the darkness and perused the depths

I tried a waymo while in SF, to see what that was about. It did at one point just stop with nothing in front of it while other cars beeped and went around it. It's kind of like when AI adds an extra arm to a person, but for driving.

So, uh, this is why I'll be at PAX East. I'm giving the keynote!!

Obligatory hotel mirror post... a week late

I was at GDC, was really nice to see old friends and meet a lot of new people (I'm really bad at posting, I should post while the thing is actually happening)

Here's an area with glowing plants and magic seeds that grow trees you can jump up for #screenshotsaturday
