Short fiction writer, librarian, and solo indie studio. I also love interactive fiction. I do all the design, art, animation, music, and programming. Maybe some day I'll get some help.

Few milestones...

My demo has been approved by Valve for release! I'm not doing the actual release until shortly before Next Fest, but this is a good development.

Also, I've scheduled a live-stream for Feb. 24 at 6pm EST.

New dev teaser for Skeeter's Grid as I ready for Next Fest.

This showcases one of the early tutorial levels. On display are new animations, the new contextual help system and more.

Another in my Commodore 64 nostalgia series, Crystal Castles:

Here's my contribution for the Holiday Fireplace. I'd been putting some tracks together for Skeeter's Grid and realized some of these loops seemed vaguely festive in a downtempo sort of way.

Just got word Skeeter's Grid is approved to appear in Steam Next Fest. So that's something, right?

Time to wrap up the demo. Might be looking for testers. Ping me if interested.

Working on yet another Skeeter's Grid animation. My animation controller is starting to feel a little messy.

I feel like my title and pause screens are probably maybe mostly (hopefully?) done.

It was my first foray into building a custom 3D menu. It scales nicely and handles custom events so should be easy to adapt for future projects.

I'm starting a series of blog posts about my very favorite c64 classics beginning with Crossroads.

First post! (second attempt)

Blender 2.9x. I'm holding off on installing Blender 3 for a little while but also so very tempted.
