Not sure how many likes this has (I have all metrics blocked). But last I heard 13k? What's interesting is that it didn't really amount to much. 100 more followers maybe? I don't track this stuff. These days everyone goes viral and people move on to the next thing extremely fast.

I created this for myself a while ago. It's a explorable game version of the album New World Disciples by
@desertsandvapor
, album art by
@zer0trashwave
. Sometimes I boot it up and vibe around. It even has a quest to find search the desert for clues to find the New World.

Initial prototype took a day. Almost two months of going full time on this project to turn it into a full experience. Release happening this week.
I keep seeing this image so I turned it into a game. Might release it as a 1 - 2 minute experience.

Walked across all of Tokyo. Last time I did this it was west to east. This time I did south to north. Tamagawa to the Arakawa. Long walks like this are where all my best ideas come from. It's a creative pilgrimage that I try to do at least a few times a year.

I'll be delaying this project indefinitely and pausing dev on it for the next two weeks. Releasing it now would mean cutting the most poetic feature I've been tirelessly building. I'm not making a product. Deadlines are great for managing scope, but sometimes I love feature creep
I go on summer vacation the 7th of August so I will be releasing this by then so I don't have to think about it anymore because it's gotten in the obsessive polishing phase now.

Experimenting with a film grain / scratches video overlay and locking the framerate to 24fps (not sure if twitter compression will make it noticeable). Still needs a lot of work

I won't be using this effect for this project but I think it looks really good. It's a posterization effect on top of lots of other effects. Finding an art style is often just messing with post processing until they collide into something special. I'll use it in a future project

Might be hard to tell from video compression. I'm experimenting with a grainy woodblock overlay effect. I want it to feel like the image it's inspired by.

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments on the previous tweet. It's from a small experimental game inspired by this image. My games are experimental & focused on short, experiential atmospheres. This isn't strictly a horror, but there is a strong sense of unsettling dread.

Lately have been embracing the title Artist rather than Game Dev. I prefer it. Games are art, no question. I view my process as making art using game engines. I also dabble in other forms of creating not tied to games. Artist is more holistic and applies to all aspects of life.

Part of the feature I'm building. I want the game to live on forever. The world continues to exist and grow whether you're there or not. This is a sped up version of what would take 6 months realtime to happen.

Last month I walked across all of Tokyo. Took about 19 of hours over the course of two days. I took a train to the western edge of Tokyo and aimlessly walked to the eastern edge without relying on a phone or map. I wanted to feel lost. I wanted to discover and notice the city.

I've always wanted to play a game that felt like the short film Cannon Fodder from the 1995 anime anthology Memories.
We are so hyped, this is our new game ... *drum roll*
PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant
The game comes from a love of pressing satisfying buttons and a fascination of old cockpits.
Mix that with a bit of escape room and "Papers, Please" and you got PVKK.

Do people go to a free art exhibition, look at all the work and then go to the artist and tell them that it was a boring, disappointing waste of time? I'm regularly surprised about the comments and reviews I read on people's game itchio projects. Seems like a strange thing to do.

10 years ago. One of those seminal pieces of writing that influenced what I make now. Things haven't changed much in terms of the hyper consumerist corporate games culture. Happy to see that new communities exist now that break away from all that.

There are so many evocative visuals in cinema that you rarely see in games. When games do try to replicate cinema, it's usually just generic big budget action. Take inspiration from this list. You can easily create an experience no one has seen before in a game.

You'll get to experience this soon as part of larger experience but I'm also considering turning this space into a VRChat club. Haven't looked into the specifics but if VRChat supports audio reactive swapping of prefabs (or manually), then I'll be turning this into a world.
