Hi, I’m Case! 👋 I’m a sound designer who loves crafting sounds from scratch. Recording, tweaking, experimenting and getting my hands dirty. No dang AI generation here! While the digital world gets more “tokens this” and “credits that”, I’m happy keeping things old-school. 💜

As a programmer, I am intimately familiar with my own code until the moment my PR/MR is approved, at which point the code could be an Enigma encryption for all I know.

Making a game for the Playdate knowing the sales data will be anecdotal at best is really liberating. After many years of making games for companies, following market trends, and making what I was asked to make instead of what I wanted to do... now I have total freedom. And it feels wonderful ❤️

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

And some fun little dither experiments that came out of the process but that were not suitable for something that needs to be printable.
