Tami might be the most complex and most fun character that I've coded for our game so far. 😍

Her kit is so much fun to play! Can't wait for you all to try her out. ✨

What started with me a couple months ago getting back into Vampire Survivors because I wanted to introduce a friend has led, helter skelter, to me finally playing Order of Ecclesia and holy shit what a great game. 18 years late to the party, I know. How do you do fellow kids, etc.

Like I don't want to disrupt the flow of something highlighting underrepresented people, but I also know if shared that hashtag with the Nic Cage "not the beeeeees" gif I'm pretty sure I would hear "girl, same" many times over.

I'm torn. #WhatAGameDevLooksLike is a great hashtag highlighting the delightful variety in humanity that wants to make games. It's powerful and good. Don't mess with it... but I love taking the piss and there are so many comedy takes on what a dev looks like, think Troy and the burning pizzas, etc

31 years of Panzer Dragoon. 🐉 To celebrate the series' anniversary, here’s my performance of the Crimson Dragon main theme, composed by the incredible Saori Kobayashi. The music of this series has always felt otherworldly to me… It was a joy to step into that world and sing this piece.

Gamedev Unsung Heroes

I'd like to announce I have a new(ish) Podcast! It's called GameDev Unsung Heroes, and it's basically interviewing all the names in games you don't know about what they do, their career path, a few stories along the way. All free.

Here's the link gamedevunsungheroes.com

I could use re-posting :)

Good on you! F1 is hyper complicated this year, important to get it into the kiddo's brain while the spaghetti is still soft and flexible, it's like learning a second language.

Taking into account that, for most of us, it means we were born and raised in South Florida... yeah lol

There's a reason we chrome our pyramids down there, salty ocean breeze and constant rain corrodes things quickly.

"Whittled Doll" item that gives an extra choice from post-combat rewards. Flavor text: "Carved in a worker's downtime from a piece of scrap. Its slumped figure seems to carry the world."

Pixel art for the aforementioned item. It's a naked brown humanoid on all fours.

I am 100% confident that this is what my writer had in mind when she wrote this item description. #indiedev #pixelart

#Picotron is my game engine of choice and my favorite computer. I'd love for more people to try it, and I hope that creating little tutorials will lower the boundary.

Quite often I'll say "There's no time!" in the ZR announcer voice when I have to hurry to do something. Not sure why that stuck with me so hard.
