He/him. Canadian solo gamedev at SCRAWL, currently working on SCORCHED EARTH. Loves games and anime of all shapes and sizes!!! 🏳️‍🌈 Forever anti-AI‼️ https://store.steampowered.com/app/865450/SCORCHED_EARTH/

Just saw Kokuho! Oh my god, what a beautiful feast of a movie! So much to think about. I really connected with it. If you enjoy this movie, I recommend checking out the anime Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu! Touches on some similar themes

ATTENTION, ARTISTS! I'm looking to commission a ton of artists to each make 1-3 emblems (and maybe voice act) to represent the many rival mechs that will appear in my game! If you're interested, please message me which callsigns catch your fancy! If a name isn't crossed off yet, it's available!

ATTENTION
I'm looking to make emblems
to represent each of these 35 (40, crossed out) mechs!
If any of these callsigns appeal to you,
please message me which ones, and we can discuss them!

RULES
1. Emblems must be submitted at 64x64
2. For variety, I will not work with the same artist more than 3 times!
3. I will pay a bounty of $150 CAD for each emblem,
as well as +$100 CAD for you to voice act that character's 20ish lines!

Yo @wooliewoolz.bsky.social since you hinted at maybe having another mechweek, I wanted to let you know that DuckStation is my PS1 emulator of choice (and the Front Mission 3 remake is bad, so I recommend emulating the original instead). PCSX2 is also excellent for PS2 games!

The tonal dissonance between working extremely hard on making games for entertainment and watching the tightening grip of totalitarianism around me is doing incredible (bad) things for my mental health

AI is killing the games industry. Don't use it, don't accept it, push back against it wherever you can, because this tech is cannibalizing everything you care about, even if you don't know it, it's poisoning something right now that you'll feel the impact of further down the line.

Alright. It's time. I'm closing one book, and opening another! Recently, I started prototyping a new game - an old-school Armored Corelike, inspired specifically by 3rd Gen (best gen 😤)!! I have such a deep love for this series, and I don't want the charm of those old games to be lost to time
