I’ve been working on this side project for several months now. It’s a hand-made ceramic video game? It’s still a WIP, but I got everything wired up for the first time last night so I could test controlling all the lights individually. Exciting step! Now I “just” have to make it interactive. 😅

Cadence is a minimalist zen game about solving circuits to generate music.
To find out what that means, there's a brand new Steam demo available as part of the #CerebralPuzzleShowcase by @puzzleshowcase.bsky.social!

I’m not at GDC this year, but @art.imitates.life and @cigumo.bsky.social are going to do #GDCFeet tomorrow! (Saturday 22nd). Join them for a playful hike around the Lands End headlands!
The stars are right. Fallen lichens and grains of sand crunch between our #GDCFeet as we say our long goodbyes.
We will gather at Powell Street Station, 11 AM on Saturday, where the sun reaches under the ground.

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues.
