The Portland Indie Game Squad is a nonprofit community platform supporting game developers with events, meetups, showcases, dev resources, game jams, and more! www.PIGSquad.com Thanks for joining us at PIGCON 2026 💖 Summer Slow Jams is running now! 🌻

Thanks a ton to everyone who came out to my talk and to Creative Mornings for hosting me. Really cool to hear so much enthusiasm for community, how to support others in easy ways, and respond to over-competition in a destitute games industry with collaboration. I'll post again when it goes online.

We're streaming all of the Inventory Jam submissions tonight at 7pm PT! Hop in for some wildly cool stuff (I know because I saw it at the in-person showcase last week 😈) and say hi to devs in the chat! twitch.tv/PIGSquad

My album of eclectic electronic experiments is now available on Spotify! This Shit Grooves (or This Sh*t Grooves on Spotify, to appease our puritan overlords) is a rare collection of not-videogame-music written by yours truly!

I’m gonna throw some zines and stickers in a box and post-up at the Lloyd Center for its very last day on August 8th! It’s the perfect art show for my broken arm because I don’t have to bring any of my display! Come celebrate the last day of the Lloyd Center with us!
