Sorry it's been a bit since I've shared some updates, art, and I've been lacking on streams. Work got super busy and I've been dealing with some health issues. It's just left me with little energy for posting good stuff. Looking forward to showing ya'll what I've been cooking tho! 💙

Your body, left arm, and right arm each have separate stats and levels in Withering Realms so there's a lot of build variety. I’ve been testing new builds every day and running through the game to fix balance issues, bugs, and polish as I go. Here's a few...

Ascent DX is absolutely wonderful and worth a play/replay if you've already checked it out! Glad more folks can experience it on the switch.

*36th birthday (released in 1990) But yeah, Solstice rules! One of those childhood "enigma games" that I took the time to finally learn and play through more recently (with hand-drawn maps). Cool to see in-development footage! Also, amazing Japanese box art by Naoyuki Katoh:

Mysterious wizard stands powerfully, ominously, in the center of a surreal, brutalist labyrinth.

Happy 26th birthday to Solstice, the isometric puzzle platformer developed for the NES by Software Creations! How often do you get to see behind the scenes footage from the making of an NES game? More often today, thanks to the Video8 tape included in the Solstice Player's Pak!

Making trailers is not easy. I've been making trailers for 19 years (1st was GTA IV trailer 3 in fall 2007) Derek's tips are invaluable. I see so many trailers that ignore his tips (many starting with environmental/logo montages 🫣) While it's cool to break rules, you need to understand why 1st.

Surprise! New video about basic story structure for game trailers, common mistakes to avoid, and some examples of trailers with great storytelling. This one stems from months of working on a day long masterclass I gave recently in France 👀 Shares much appreciated 😊
