Modder, game developer. Made that horrible, horrible mod that replaces dragons with Thomas the Tank Engine. Personally wielded the javelin that killed god. Mattel is constantly out to kill me.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

It's funny watching people expect translations into other languages for Underspace when like
The game has four million words in terms of readable text. The money it'd take to translate that into even one other language would be around fifteen times the game's current budget.

Fixed up some missile bits for the game. They were due for a fix.

It's taken a shitload of work and a lot of sweat and tears, but Underspace is now almost entirely data driven, and can support mods for a ton of stuff. Wanna port over ships from... other games? Go ahead with this upcoming update.

Two months. Two friggin months of nonstop writing for this: Over 450 news stories and blurbs on every single space station and planet. This was the most miserable bit of work I've ever worked on.

Spend an entire week porting the game over to a new version of Unity, and lo and behold there's been massive gains (surprising, given that it's Unity). Anyway there's a beta branch for the game now for all these new goodies.
Steam :: Underspace :: Beta Branch & Engine Update!
We've an opt-in beta branch for the adventurous and the daring, plus some internal updates!

Before all disappear to play Silksong, why not check out a new Underspace patch with some news about upcoming stuff like multiplayer, plus some visual goodies!

Good god the scalpers and scammers begging for steam keys just NEVER ends. I must have gotten fifteen emails in the past two hours alone from dudes who can't even bother to pretend that they aren't just sending out a premade response.

Some new small changes coming with Underspace's next patch. For starters I've redone the Veil nebula to be more appropriately darker. After all, it's space hell. It should look the part.

Happy International Cat Day! To celebrate, we've a new patch that lets you do stuff like add custom paintings to place into your house. Or make your cat into a custom ship paintjob.

Custom paintjobs for your ship (beyond just dyes!). Turn anything into a ship texture, like a picture of my cat. Or a picture of your cat.

Customization! You can use custom loading screens (which will pull from your screenshot folder) and decals on your ship. Be the god of your own unhappiness.

Who's ready for some custom content? You can now take custom images and put them in your game as paintings for your house and decals for your ships. No limits, all the responsibility.

You thought I was done? You thought you were free? I've got another patch for Sotha Sil Expanded for #Morrowind, which adds a ton of new unique meshes and detailing bits, as well as requested features like a way back to Tamriel once you reach the city proper.

In the midst of updating to a newer engine version (haha oh god that's going to suck) some little new bits and features are coming. You can now color and dye your houses, just like your cockpit or your ship.

Patch 1.45.0 for Underspace is now live! This brings forth a lot of hotfixes. It's mostly fixes, but I also made the Darkon entity worse. In case you were worried.

Final thing for this update involves more detailing on various stations and a few new NPCs to talk to. Because who doesn't play an RPG for that sweet sweet lore.

This has been a requested feature for a while: map notes! You can now write down and place pins on your map (and in the description of a star system).

You know maybe work on the game could go faster if there wasn't fourteen pounds of cat in my way.

It’s important in a game with a constructed world to feel like the people in that world not only exist, but that they also suck. To that end I’ve added over 150 new advertisements for billboards into the game.

All additional customization options are in. There's over 300 new housing items, 50+ new dyes, ornaments, and decals for your ship, and various art smugglers, sculptors, and traders you can talk to, plus new rewards, loot, etc.
