Yes, my website desperately needs a cleanup/overhaul. I'm working on it (slowly but surely)

Screenshot of art likely drawn by Tumblr user catcrumb. It shows a cat sweeping up dust and dust bunnies with a broom. The dust bunnies are shown saying "aaaaaaaaaa" in a speech bubble, and the cat is shown saying "wush wush" with a speech bubble.

Desperately need to update my reels, but here's a thread of what I have for #PortfolioDay! Wahoo!

DonutShoes🍩👟 @donutshoes.bsky.social · Dec 28

With the farm season done, so is my only source of income. I'm looking to take on some projects to help get me through the winter. I can do music and SFX for your game, film, animation, podcast, livestream or other media. Reposts are appreciated.

Hello once more #portfolioday!

I'm Luke, a #leveldesigner currently seeking out some new work with awesome game teams!

I've freelanced for indie games, working in both 3D & 2D styles, across genres in FPS, platformers, boss rushes, and open to all things new.

A young woman holds a candle while looking up at a multi-eyed, toothy creature. She gently pets it.

A little demo ☾✧˖°

You step outside after a tense conversation with your adventuring party. The cold air bites as your senses finally realize what you're up against. And the loss you've just suffered. Your mind wanders, trying to make sense of your new reality. You ready yourself for what's ahead.
