Would you support a patreon? It would include regular updates, thoughts, design notes, exclusive games, first access, prototypes, and credits. But also we are scared of the damage money does to creativity and the pressure to deliver.

Next week I release The Light Of Our Yearning. I've seen a few people play it on stream after finding it on the @hauntedps1.bsky.social demo disk as the hidden game. But I have yet to see someone discover the full experience. Sivani, my partner and collaborator, did some excellent writing on this.

"ocean::ephemera . . . is a surrealist sea of sound. It captures that feeling of awe when you look at something you canโ€™t quite make out, but itโ€™s all so grand. The movement of waves, coupled with sound that fills up a vast unknowable space, enveloping you as you journey throughโ€ฆ something."

Same itchio comment machine translated from Chinese to English

First of all, thank you. Although I don't seem to grasp the true essence of this game, I can still find a sense of loss in it. It's like floating in the ocean, without thinking about anything, I can throw away everything that belongs to human beings, and I will slowly disappear, my body, or my consciousness. The journey is short, but I witnessed a surreal landscape, like a dream. Just like a short life, short and brilliant.
