Just your gamedev Uncle up in WA. Made a short game on Xbox. Kinda goofy & violently nerdy. Mexican/Japanese-Hawaiian.

Hello my blue friends! Im a teeny #gamedev that tends to make short games based on my life. Untitled Darkness portrays what my battle with depression has been like & released on Xbox Series X not long ago. While it may not be a top seller, Im very proud of it. #indiedev www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...
After about 7 hrs, I am finishing building it! Love how it came out, but building it kinda sucked at times because of how tiny it is.

Go support the POSSESSOR(S) team! I got work on a few areas of the game and it was so fun and refreshing! This team put so much love into it!!!
POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.
I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

Finally finished the last of our 2D Platformer Tile Sets - the house interiors. Most of the overworld sets contained little houses so it makes sense to let your players go inside 😅 Our paid patrons can get all 12 Tile Sets (768 assets) right now! www.patreon.com/posts/142909... #gamedev

You think no one cares about the games you’re making, then boom, someone stops you in line at KFC and tells you they played your last game with their kid. 🥹

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Made some more 2D platformer tiles today! This time two versions of the same set: a grassland set in both summer and winter. These are all pretty fun to make and I can't wait to see people start making games with them - we'll release a pack when we have more finished #gamedev #digitalart #gamemaker
