Hi! It's me, Tyriq! I make games and pixel and animate. Less of the latter recently, but plenty of the former yet to come! I also sometimes make noises with my mouth that people have told me are pleasant.

UFO 50: www.50games.fun
FRROR: frror.bandcamp.com
A screenshot of the first area of Catacomb Kids, the Upper Dungeon. Lava drips from pools in the ceiling above and danger is everywhere. Just a couple of dudes. One is crouched and has a golden-handled dagger and scimitar, and a hairdo that is bound in a long pillar. The other has a purple whip and his head is a sphere. They both have ball-like joints. A kid from Catacomb Kids, wounded; one eye bleeding, knee bandaged, and sword held out glinting in torchlight. He stands his ground against the viewer.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

Today is my 20th anniversary of living in California.

We arrived on Halloween, which I remember because the family friend we stayed with kept getting trick-or-treaters at their door, and I was surprised every time, having never celebrated the holiday or lived anywhere with trick or treaters before.

I have two contracts wrapping up in November! If you're looking for game dev support around production, operations, publishing, and more, get in touch!

I have nearly a decade of industry experience in PC and console, and have worked with teams big and small on all genres!

Text reads: insertdisc5 “Dora has been an INCREDIBLE producer for In Stars and Time!!! Always organized and strategic, always helpful, always a pleasure to talk to. I could not have asked for a better producer, and In Stars and Time wouldn’t have had the same success without her!!!” Gummy Cat “Dora is one of the kindest, coolest, most organized and thoughtful producers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I genuinely believe that without her fighting for us from the very first email pitch, Bear and Breakfast would not have existed.” A screenshot captioned "selected portfolio" featuring various games including Truth Scrapper, In Stars and Time, Bear & Breakfast, and others. A screenshot of various games I've worked on including The Adventure Pals, Swords & Souls: Neverseen, Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive and others.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Why fight when you can shove a slippery bar of soap at someone to send them hurtling into an endless void at the edge of the map? ☺️(Follow us for more life hacks.)

#Objectober 2: Key! I have drawn several keys today.
pencil sketches of several figuines with attached keys. one, labelled 3, is a very tall figure with no arms, a long neck and small head, covered in nails with keys hung on them, and loops of rope with keys attached. the other figures are smaller figurines, each not much larger than the key they hold. they are labells 4a-4f. 3. A plague-marker from the streets of the Charnel Quarter, Iull City. These ominous figures, some standing over a storey tall, were set to guard areas of the city which had been struck by plague. Charnel-coroners would take the keys to houses struck by the plague, after locking the building up securely, and fix them to the plague-marker. The house woud then be regarded as a tomb, and could not be disturbed or entered. Look up at the tall plague-marker and its hundreds of keys. Could it fit through your front door? 4. Various key-guardians associated with burial hoards of the Vellum Age. These small figurines all have keys attached to them, and were beleived to act as protectors of the treasures interred with the body. Though several of the keys fit kists or reliquaries found nearby in the tomb, some have no evident lock, and are beleived to have a more symbolic purpose, protecting the riches buried alongside the deceased, as well as more generally protecting the soul of the deceased themself. They were usually situated very close to the body, often clasped in the hand. What precious thing do you think these creatures are guarding? What would you lock away?
