Its October so I wanted to make a spooky sticker pack with demons from famous paintings. We've got your Bosch, Goya and Bruegel, along with some others! St Anthony really had a hell of a time. #arthistory #art

Yesterday, we launched Monster Walk: Step Adventure in the US and Europe! This week has been a nonstop sprint - I did a 1:25 half-marathon PR on Sunday (6:32 min/mile)!

In just the first 8 hours after launch, players already took 30 million steps and collected 15,000 monsters!

You awaken on a white shore, unsure what you’ve lost.

Dark rites brought me, @ratcasket.itch.io , and @puppiesandanime.bsky.social together.

Something stirs. More soon.

Mockup of a dark fantasy game UI. On the left, an isometric view shows a tiny hooded figure in a pointed hat standing near a hut with a glowing red bonfire. The scene is painted in icy blues, sandy yellows, and mossy greens, with cliff edges and a shoreline below. On the right, a portrait of a pale witch with large dark eyes, a hat tied with red string on their head, and large metal keys through their cheeks. Below the portrait, an interface bar shows strange symbols and inventory items: a worm shaped like the infinite, a drop of blood, and a potion bottle.

This was the first major promo piece for the game and despite not really being a splash screen artist I am really happy with how it turned out.

🧵 1/5 I thought the only way to stay motivated was to train harder. I was wrong.

As a sub-3-hour marathoner, I know how tough motivation can be. While building Monster Walk with @talofagames.bsky.social, I discovered something magical: reconnecting with drive in a way that’s light and sustainable.

Fresh reminder for June: I'm still looking for work!

I'm a level and game designer who's build sick worlds for incredible games. Having now escaped from the Grid, I'm looking for the next challenge to take on.

I was honestly thinking this the other day while watching story board artists stream their work. Its insane to me and I need to harness this power.

I made a "Ghost Roast" for a cooking card game I've been working on. It just makes sense.
