Oil painting of an elephant shaped part of Chelan Butte seen from Union Valley Road. There is a small red shed and trees in subtle foreground shadow. Clouds in the sky with blue sky poking through.

This song may only be 2 minutes long, but it hits like a ton of bricks... You can turn on the captions to understand what he's saying.
Each photo is someone killed last month in the protests in Iran.... fucking heavy #freeiran

#ruinsOfCalaworm final demo build will hit @itch.io servers later tonight. Overall, the game is a wrap! Yay! Here's the accompanying devLog entry where I am commemorating my achievement (I probably should do these more often - writing devLogs, not celebrating myself, that is🤔).

Ruins of Calaworm demo is ONLINE!
Check out this charming roguelike with whimsical lovecraftian puzzles and action.
I wrote the #gamemusic, combining retro game synthesizers, real viola players, and inspiration from 20th century French and Soviet surrealist composers, as well as Renaissance music
I have a pretty nerdy spreadsheet for my WW2 tabletop game...
Had to calculate the armor and armor penetration of every weapon and vehicle in WW2, as well as all the points values for the various units. I eventually finished the game after 2 years 😅 (Ostfront 2nd ed.)

Difficulty Settings are a WRAP!
These are the final legs of my #gameDev journey. 🥹
Work on #ruinsOfCalaworm will be done in a couple of days, a week or two at most. Next in line for coding:
• Logic and visual representation of unlocking diff_page
• Displaying intro story

My heart goes out to all Iranians.... The regime plans to permanently shut off internet access for 90 million people!
And that's like... the most minor of the heinous stuff they've been doing. Some reports say more than 12,000 unarmed protesters killed in the past few weeks.
keeping Arash Hackimi in my heart tonight
they’re an Iranian game designer who managed to send an email through the Iranian firewall, and it’s a profoundly moving and human read

Some of these maps are just beautiful.
Played the shit out of it back in the day :) great game!
Was it the Pitch Black game?
Massive respect to the people of Iran. Huge protests over the past 2 weeks. Government buildings burned, entire cities under protester control, police joining forces with protesters. Total internet and phone blackout for the past 24 hours.

Looks fantastic!

Damn - it wasn't even in the book. He's definitely creative! 😨
I'm trying to wrap my head around the ending... does the spider represent - corruption? Like he's a good person compared to the 'other guy', but he's going down the road of corruption?
Watching early Villeneuve movies - they're very intense and interesting.
Incendies - re-living a middle eastern civil war ~1970s
Enemy - quietly unsettling verging on very strange. Jake Gyllenhaal is awesome
Prisoner - just started, Jake Gyllenhaal again, and Paul Dano PERFRECTLY cast...
oof.... exactly right. Might be partially because stories where everyone is happy and nothing bad happens don't really exist, so the only stories we consume tend to have conflict and suffering, even for characters that were initially happy.
New year - new music! Some fast-paced music in a kind-of-anime style for a friend with a super secret project! Having fun with guitars and minor 9th chords 🤯🤯

Fine choice 😎
imminent nerf death?!
After 2 years of research and playtesting, I finally released my WW2 tabletop game. Covering ALL OF WW2. Yes, even Poland, China, Mongolia, Italy, North Africa, East Africa, Malaya, D-Day, Eastern Front, Pacific, and more! #WW2 #wargaming #wargames #tabletop

Does flames have any decent pacific beach landing type scenarios? is it balanced?
Made my friend spend hours of his winter vacation animating smoke coming out of the chimney
Oh wait it's just reusing the campfire

A small painted sketch of our house on Christmas Eve, with warm lights on a snowy night.
For about 10 years, when our kids were young, I would do a quick sketch of our house on Christmas Eve after everything would quiet down. This is from 2016...gouache over acrylic, I think. Merry and Happy!
