I think I've improved the faux-prerender effect even more recently

I’m visiting my dad and was driving on the highway and saw this little thing dart across in 5pm traffic during a thunderstorm so I flipped a u turn a bunch looking for her, finally saw her and pulled over, and she ran under the car so I had to grab her. I have to keep her I think

I do this so often but the one that haunts me the most is when I wrote “the Mimi meme” when I fell asleep thinking about Drew Carey - i will never know what I meant

Any opportunity to re-post "When the Glove"

REAL WEB LEGENDS: Carter's Quest Act 2 is NOW AVAILABLE!! My solo action-adventure game inspired by Zelda, DMC, and Bayonetta just got bigger. A FREE update to Carter's Quest, adding a whole new chapter to the story, massive graphical updates, and more. Available on Steam now!

After RUNT, I'd like to take on some more work that challenges me before moving onto our next project~! If you are looking for a writer or 2D/3D art generalist for your project, reach out to me~! I specialize in horror, but I can work in any genre and style~ #indiehorror #indiedev

have you ever had a dream where you tried to close a door and it was too small for the frame? or the door got smaller as you approached?

I’m so scared rn

OCD feels like evaluating every thought as if it’s a wish in a movie with the literal genie trope

I'm so bad at actually playing games lately and don't really have any desire to play AAA games - anyone made anything in the past 5 years that I should play?

Almost every environment in Heartworm was based on places in my life/photos I took there. Was looking through old photos today (this is from ~2013), for example:

Can't believe its been a whole year. This game is *so good*

Heartworm came out one year ago today 🖤🪱📸 Thank you to everyone who played and supported us over this past year. I'm so glad we were able to share it with you, and that it resonated with so many people.

Happy Birthday Heartworm! This game is pretty special to me. It inspired my first PSM homage which kicked my art career into gear! If it weren't for @adinolfi.bsky.social and others in the community being cool enough to share it with their audience, I might not be doing this today!

Hell yeah, play this great game!

I was ready for the PS1 and PS2 era nostalgia this survival horror game would bring, but I never expected it to remind me of the most divisive Silent Hill

Now Playing | Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame collide in Heartworm, a retro-styled survival horror that shocked me with how effective a simple camera flash can be

in light of nothing in particular - i'm working on a digital card game with its own universe that I can *guarantee* you I will never abandon in exchange for financial gain!

rewatched Heathers last night…

opened an old prototype to see if i could fix some things - dynamic split screen/merging here when players are in the same camera zone

Wanted to see if I could improve Heartworm's faux-prerender effect after not thinking about it for a long time

it turns out StarBourne as a name is close to two games that exist, so I have to come up with a new one. it's driving me a little crazy while stuck in my head so I threw up some ideas and treatments on patreon (free) with a poll if anyone can help me 🥺

Working on controller support - full analog movement based on the best implementation I have used

i am on such a crazy productivity tear irt game dev and i know the inevitable "i am the least creative person who has ever existed" crash is going to be unprecedented
