BȢGENĒ made the Honorable Mentions list at @amazefest.bsky.social

Pretty wild.
Now to see if it’ll be shown at the festival in Berlin this May.

“Boundaries, outlines last only briefly; things, beasts, people, plants, stars dissolve and blur in vague transformations. There is no order, no fixed points of orientation — this is the world of Dionysus, where everything is intoxicated: both the observers and the observed.”
Ideas come from unexpected places.
Lately I’ve been reading texts like this and trying to imagine a world where reality itself is drunk - a paradox that closes something in the mind, almost like a koan.
I mostly post here about what I’m making but sometimes I share what inspires it.

Saw Bȣgenē being discussed on Discord.
There’s a conversation happening there already.
I’m probably not very spoiled with attention, so yes… this makes me very happy.
(Thank you, @moshelinke.bsky.social.)

I don’t anticipate many games.
Yuha’s Nightmares is one of the rare ones, and it's slowly approaching release.
Strange, intelligent, experimental. Yet still a game, never alienating and very honest.
I’ll never get tired of reminding people about it.

A poem inside Bougene.
Verses written and recorded by my friend, poet Iva from Russia.
I love when different forms collide.
Subtitles included.

Curious who’ll recognize what most of these objects reference.
If you’ve played that game as much as I have, you’ll probably get it instantly.
From BȢGENĒ, in development for A MAZE 2026.

Finished a conceptual essay on BȢGENĒ for @amazefest.bsky.social
A short PDF outlining the experimental nature of the project: theory, visuals, aesthetics, sound, synthetic language.

With the extra week from @amazefest.bsky.social, I pushed a new BȢGENĒ build after a sleepless Sunday night.
Still very experimental, still evolving.
A demo is planned for the coming months.

Bougene is now live in the A MAZE database:

Thanks!
The game itself is the puzzle. You move forward as you figure out the controls, how the world responds, and the synthetic language I’m building.

Next place, early greyboxing.

I somehow missed that a new Pathologic by
@icepicklodge.bsky.social came out last week, made in collab with @polyarinov.bsky.social
The same Polyarinov who translated Infinite Jest into Russian.
Few games could make that kind of crossover feel this natural

Maybe I Shouldn't Have Gone Down the Rabbit Hole After All, shown at Playtopia last December.
I was thinking a lot about how simple forms and empty space can carry weight on their own.

Experimenting with RGB masks for environment texturing.
Really liking the results so far.
Next step: clean export to UE5.

Thanks, I appreciate it!
Studying atmosphere and space for a new project.

A small Russian-language community @gamin.me recently dropped 17 experimental jam games.
Lots of raw, honest ideas. Don’t let the language stop you. Many interesting voices here.

The Rabbit Hole is getting a Portuguese translation—many thanks to @lea-far.bsky.social
And it will be exhibited at @playtopia.bsky.social in Cape Town this weekend.
BTW I’m giving away a free ticket to the fest—message me.

🚨 Cape Town friends!
I’ve got a free @playtopia.bsky.social pass (Dec 5–6).
If you’re seriously planning to go, let me know.
All I ask in return are a few photos/videos of my games at the event.

Working on the geometry of silence.
Early meshes and blockouts — the skeletons of the unknown.

A world of rust, concrete, and quiet light.
Still uninhabited — only echoes and dust.
