I'm usually not one to make Halloween-themed clips, but this one allowed me to try different animation techniques. Had a lot more fun with it than I thought.

Music by @thedears.bsky.social Extra long cut, hope it still falls under fair use 😘

I reviewed The Lacerator:

What the hell did I just play. (complimentary) An absolutely wild experience that's part survival horror, part grindhouse schlock and part SWERY/SUDA51-style madness.

A quick visual demonstration of our item handling system. We made sure that all the different weapons and items are held properly in our character's hand as she switches between them.

Thief and System Shock 2 are among our inspirations. "Investigative exploration" is also a key phrase we like. You'll explore an area and collect items, some of which can help you in strategic ways: by creating distractions, you'll be able to safely sneak past enemies.

Done a lot of coding recently so there were no visual updates. Been experimenting with the visibility cone of the NPCs, so nobody can hide forever 😜

Tried a Lovecraftian roguelike called Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef a couple days ago. It's actually not too bad. Fairly simple and could use more polish, but it's still in Early Access, so yeah.

If you recognize this, you are a hella cool person. The remake some people have been waiting years for...

I'm eternally grateful for your patience, be content in the knowledge that the wait hurt me even more :3

ps. We are so back!

If you thought the Delaney Institution from the first game was bad, after being abandoned for a decade... It's predecessor, the Freesia Conservatory kept it's secrets since the 19th century. Lore galore...

Blue sky to forever
The green grass blows in the wind, dancing

Nothing like coming to terms with your tragic past during a car ride with a stranger.

I took 4-5 years to like what you see reflecting in (and around) the mirror. Not even that bad considering most of us never get there. #Eldervale2, #gamedev, #horrorgame

Year 1 vs. Year 5 of designing anime/cartoony characters for game development. I like how it shows both an increase in skill level and my declining mental state. Love you #vroid #vroidstudio!

Posted some thoughts on horror games and the concept of fear vs safety in the genre. (Also, maybe I just needed an excuse to mention Haunting Ground.) Give it a read!
