Bit of a slow day work wise, so for shits and giggles, I made a little promo video for my game offering at the @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social's virtual con. Sign ups are still open. 🤘😊 FYI: There are a few flashes and movement distortions that may affect photosensitive viewers.

Jeremy Szal@jeremyszal.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Australian premier of Backrooms was a lot of fun. There's some truly ingenious film making on display here, with one long sequence that genuinely gave me chills. Perfect analog horror with a big budget with genuine depth to the characters.

Dave Kirkby@drmonkeyface.bsky.social · 6mo agoI don’t often make second versions but for “reasons” I’m making a new Padthulhu based on @evandorkin.bsky.social cover from an issue of the Blasphemous Tome by @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social a couple of years ago. Still in WIP stage but I made a good start on it today. #cthulhu #sculpture #art
I finished Scratchman last night which was a huge amount of fun. I then started leafing through a book about Cryptids that I bought in Des Moines last year. I think my subconscious was swayed by the recent @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social episode about cryptids.
