Dropped a new ambient Robot Shrine video! This time it's a cozy campfire in Niivim Marsh - no music this go round - just wood burning and some estuarine burbles and crickets. youtu.be/v5KMVbJhPvQ

It's me ole birthday again - looking back on 37, the coolest thing I made was a walking/floating/taking robot come to life and I'm pretty happy about that. Enjoy this dark and grainy and mysterious photo from a sunroom I long to return to. localfilesclub.bandcamp.com/album/salt-b...

Just had a short story drop in the latest online edition of Waxing & Waning mag: free to read! I'm definitely in my lonely-robot-era of storytelling. www.waxingandwaning.org/issue-17/all...

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Trad publishing still very much alive, with great editors. Being patient and strategic is still smart. If book verifiably esoteric (not just bad) or you again have some expert opinion / proof is good, self pub or small press great option. Many writers write multiple books before one is publishable

Jeff VanderMeer@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Write a good book first. Find an agent. Let them shop it around. If that doesn't work and you have outside professional affirmation it is good, go small press or indie press route. Keep honing your craft / writing while this is going on. 10-12 years of writing before I got a deal w a big publisher.

You heard it here first - if you're not getting eaten by lizards you should snag a TAFCON digital ticket!

Justin Hellstrom@scratchybananas.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Anyone interested in audio fiction should for sure snag a ticket: I'll be lost in the Olympics probably recording sounds and getting eaten by lizards, but everyone else should hop on over to this.

Robot Shrines is out now! An hour and a half of ambient music / rain / robots / and a marshland shrine. Behold my answer to all those low effort “ambislop” videos on YouTube. Made in Blender & Unreal, it’s a blast to play this like a game in order to record the video. youtu.be/MzpMFhKo0w4?...
