hello all,

I know I said you likely wouldn't see anything from me til the new year, but ... I lied.

I'm releasing a new short collection of dreamy, doomy instrumentals today called Sleep. These tracks are largely the result of me trying to experiment with different tones and writing styles over the past couple months on my way to writing a new album. This "new album" will be coming later, but I still wanted to release these tracks in between.

The tracks themselves are largely inspired by dreams and my experience with sleep paralysis. I struggle with sleep as it is, and I experience sleep paralysis very often. As such, I wanted to try and capture some of the emotions and mind-states that I have experienced during sleep, as well as some of the feelings I get during an episode of paralysis.

Anyways, I have otherwise begun work on a new full-length album more likely to come out some time in the new year. In the meantime, hopefully some of you find these sonic experiments interesting and enjoyable.

Hi all! As of last month, I've been releasing games for ten years! I wrote two pieces about the projects I've helped put out in my decade of freeware gamedev.

Part 1: 2013-2017
Part 2: 2018-2022

Give 'em a read! Maybe play the games that look interesting to you -- they're all free! My hope writing pieces like this (besides patting myself on the back) is that it demystifies the process of making games. All it takes is making one little thing after another. Before too long, you've learned a lot, and you've got a huge backlog of work to look back on and smile.

Been playing free itch games non-stop for almost three weeks, here are my reccs:

Had another three week itch bender, have some more Certified Bangers:

  • Polly the Frog 3: Billy Bullfrog's Decree - These games continue to be very cute and good one-sitting platformers; one of the few devs out there that make me wanna 3D games. The final boss is a little too hard, otherwise this is an adorable little journey.

  • Kitten Milk Replacer (18+) - Very nice sister game to A Circle of Charity. Some of my favorite stories out there about getting caught up in your own martyr narratives, a theme really close to my heart.

  • If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers - Drop-dead gorgeous obviously, but it's the excellent artfully directed character stories and the subtle wry sense of humor that really make this game for me.

  • Winter (18+) - Controlled and subtle and precise story about two queer characters in a messy grimy kinky relationship, very excellent.

  • greasemnk++ - Great art and music and extremely chunky fixed encounter resource management rpg tactics. Gets super-duper-hype at the end which I was surprised and delighted by.

  • Quantum Entanglement (18+) - Some of the dramatic parts could've used another edit pass, but nobody does character banter and hilarious environment interactions like Saint Bomber (Embric of Wulfhammer's dev) and the density of it here still made the game sing for me.

  • TRAUMAKT~4.SEXE (18+) - It's very fun to play Winter, Victim Doll, and TRAUMAKT and watch the games get increasingly loud and horny and exuberant. It's legit inspiring how much this game delights in its weirdo kinky smut scenarios and wearing its influences on its sleeve, finished with a huge grin on my face.

  • Queen Beast (18+) - It is impossible to overstate how appealing the (90's fantasy ecchi OVA-inspired) art in this game is to me. It's like an electrode applied directly to my lizard brain, it never stopped blowing me away and making me smile. The great triumph of Queen Beast is that the writing manages to deserve art this good; it's a strong, complete story full of great jokes and characters.
