Been seeing a handful of the same for video with weirdly high salaries listed. Not gonna waste my talents babysitting the bullshit machine, thanks.

My Cool Blog by theworksofegan An 11ty blog template

Thank you to whoever paid me money for My Cool Blog (theworksofegan.itch.io/my-cool-blog). It's been a lot of people telling me my portfolio is impressive and then not hiring me lately, so I appreciate the pick-me-up.

Updates from the Digital World: Red Hybrid and Veemon Armor

New blog post!
Finally wrote some more about getting into the Digimon Card Game!

For fans of the bespoke website:

I've been so goddamn exhausted from applications and interviews and nowhere near in the headspace to even want to blog for the past 3 weeks, but at least I finally got this out and hopefully I'll have some kind of full-time job again soon.

Succeeding where every other extraction shooter has failed: by being the best-looking game out there by a country mile.

Alright I've done the tutorial and two runs, so now that I'm an expert I feel confident declaring that Marathon is pretty and fun.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Messing around with the new 3D primitives in After Effects, seeing how crunchy I can make things

Ok, actually. This is like the 11th revision at this point, but this is better.
The eye now leads with its more complex animation, ideally increasing the likelihood people will actually see that rather than the much simpler blink.
And the "iris" rotates to point in the direction it is "looking."

New animated logo/header for my portfolio site: eganworks.com

So stoked to finally play this this summer

Keeping the gaming outlet branding exercise going with this logo animation for @jank.cool!

(personal work, to be clear, and not my logo design)

Had a lot of fun with this one, and I'm really happy with it! Also tried adding some sound design to this one (possible headphone warning)! #motiondesign

Morning practice 🏳️‍⚧️✊

2025 Critical Distance Status Once again, it’s time to check in on the finances for Critical Distance.   Last year, I said the finances were on the brink of stability. We never actually achieved that stability: we are unli…

CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good

just watched that indie filmmaking rules interview with nirvana the band today after seeing the new movie - i love how much matt physically cannot shut the fuck up about how they make stuff, how much he loves making stuff, and how much he thinks you should make stuff

Ah thanks so much!! Definitely agree, I think faster is the stronger one to lead with. I appreciate you sharing your perspective!

(yes I did reupload this, and bsky still fucked up the framerate somehow just know that the outro should look like the alt I posted where it blinks off the screen)

I also made this slower version that I think I might like better? Feels like it's building anticipation, like you can't quite make out what it says until it's fully formed.

Whipped up this logo animation for @aftermath.site as a bit of exercise! There's something about type animation that's so satisfying to me. #motiondesign
