someone make a game where a dude in his 20s falls in love with a woman in her 50s. there are tons of movies/books where this happens and they're all unquestionable bangers. until this happens, i must unfortunately announce that games are a "lesser medium"

it makes me happy to see amateur/unpolished art creeping its way back into popularity again! a lot of independent art from the last decade felt like it was trying to imitate the aesthetics/tone of big budget studio stuff and it stopped being cool to experiment

It's a good hour long taste of our adventure: you'll use your tongue, learn to climb, find veggies you can build paths with, and borrow a stranger's backpack.

Looking to pick up a bit more work—if you're looking for stylistic, atmospheric art direction I'd be happy to chat!
Hey friends, I just lost my job—I’m looking for new work!
See a thread of work below 🧵, or visit oldmanofthefire.com
I’m an artist and programmer. As an art director I’ve lead art teams on projects for Netflix, Apple, Sony, and more.
If you’d be so kind, please share this to get the word out!
