I've never actually engaged with Geller's work, but his current controversy has been on my mind all week. Lots of complex thoughts to work through. Geordie Greep, whose work I am very attached to, will probably be replacing him for this next week. Fuck.

Playing with @makkon.bsky.social's concrete textures, tinkering with Godot's 3D systems, and learning GodotVMF.

Apparently October is OCD Awareness Month! I guess I'll make y'all Aware that I used to suffer significantly from OCD as a child (I think ~11 years old). I was a compulsive hoarder. It reached a point where I found myself unable to even throw away candy wrappers.

At the very least, my whole hacky setup for having the motion vector solving shader include the contents of my OBS scene has proven to be super useful for a variety of existing effects of mine. Here's a test with my old datamoshing shader, now properly bleeding blocks over the game from my vtuber.

people are like "making my dream game!" and then the game is sokoban

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

What Do We Do With Jacob Geller? - Epilogue Gaming

Earlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

I can now resize and reshape puzzles.

god i love videogames. have you heard about "places"? they are called locations

Working on a new game. It's going well!

MONOMOON, my non-linear game about exploration and discovery launches on Steam November 11th! With no proper instructions, you must deduce and achieve your goals as you solve puzzles, find mysterious items, and uncover secrets hiding right under your nose.

Had an absolute blast with this game; it has a good variety of tile mechanics that get explored thoroughly. It 100% deserves to go in the hall of puzzle game fame. Looking forward to trying out the challenge levels every now and then.

Clover's Quadrants is available NOW! It's a challenging puzzle game where your four directions of movement are also inventory slots. Check out the demo / buy the full game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3191170/...

I've been enjoying this! Nothing groundbreaking, but the puzzle design is pretty solid. I intend on 100%ing it.

never make a portal mod

Finished Big Walk with my friend group today. A lovely and touching piece of game design. I hope that co-op games trend in this direction - carefully crafted campaigns instead of infinite random generation.

almost done with my rooftops jam map! got bored of pasting windows onto houses so I started pasting faces, maybe it's just my thing I do now

first act is a straightforward recreation of the original's test chambers with portal 2 assets it's the second act that's really notable as it reconstructs the entire level design, again to fit portal 2's style

Portal: Alive & Kicking is a full remake and re-imagining of Valve's classic out now on Steam #Portal #PuzzleGame #Puzzle #PCGaming #Steam

If one such thing as a paid gamedev scene does exist, and they're somehow looking for 3d artists. Hit me up or something because I am Broke. These are assets I've done:

Is it too late to return to the gamedev scene? but like, the paid one... Does a paid gamedev scene even exist?

I wrote a bunch of words about my time creating the escape sequence for Portal: Alive & Kicking. Maybe it's interesting. deertwoheads.com/blog/2026-08... The rest of this thread will be images during development.

level design (Portal A&K escape spoilers)

The Portal mod I worked on is finally released!! Wow! I made the escape sequence, which is pretty significantly altered from the original, but structured around mostly the same gameplay beats. I'll follow up with some screenshots once I'm off work.

Didn't realize just how much of my life I've spent in the Midwest. I really gotta go see some mountains.

Endacopia. I fear I will be Corpse of Theseus'd into a new body, limb by limb.

You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?
