Hi bsky, I make art (and games, and other things). I will be posting more art (and games, and other things) on blsky. Now.

Danger

Veritas Tales is the closest game I've ever played to actually just playing a good Dungeons & Dragons session.

@shiftyweb.bsky.social Long, long, long time no talk, but have you ever been to the Tokyo Indies gamedev meet up? Was curious, since you're in the game biz and have been in Tokyo for a long while

me in japan rn (on the right)

Since finding out about Yomitan/rikaikun (thanks @heatphoenix.net) I've started to model things more after that with a dictionary lookup, and it works so much better and faster! Patrick no longer calls people a piece of shit, and you can add directly to Anki now too!

Upon arriving to Japan: "I'm gonna finish my personal projects. It's gonna be sick. I'm gonna have a lot of time to myself after all." Me, 2 weeks after: "I'm going to drink with complete strangers for the 5th time this week today."

tokyo is wild. or maybe i'm just such a novelty that i keep getting into increasingly stranger situations with increasingly stranger interactions.

Almost done with the battle engine on this thing. I should really give it a name at some point

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

A long ass while ago I wrote a essay of sorts on texturing super low-poly 3D models. It was paid, but I think it'd be cool if more people saw it, so it's just public now. Check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/50369227

someday i'll have a trainersona with both a theme and a full team of pogey that i can feel good about😔

I made a fully functional Sprayduck! I've started using it to water my berries, and you can have one too! (1/2)

The RADON Daughters have launched their ultimate weapon. Take control of the experimental gunship HALCYON and break out of the CAGE. Our debut @polygonbird.games title, BIRDCAGE launches on PC and consoles later this year! Wishlist now - tinyurl.com/4cy9szsk

Please God let Nintendo add more cross-over courses to Mario Kart World. I know the Donkey Kong launchpad is one of them, but F-Zero's stages and Excitebike are so incredibly excellent. PLEASE

I'm really struggling with making this guy reliably printable... kinda considering giving up on the ole Sprayduck. Any thoughts? Is it worth it to perserve??

@nightmaremodego.bsky.social I want you to know one of my (scottish) colleagues mentioned paisanos IRL and I went I KNOW THAT PLACE. And I know it, because of you.

Thinkin' of making a Darumaka incense holder. I know that's like, a weird thing to make but i think it makes sense.

virt's best work are FX4.0 and Mighty Switch Force (1) and I will die on this hill.

this is true, i should specify all judgements are trailer only -- if the game turns out to be Just Good Game then it won't matter

remember when fansubs used to have irc channel links on the openings of anime?

When Sonic racing games don't feature other SEGA properties, I IMMEDIATELY tune out. I simply do not care when this is the case.

Zone of the Enders 2 is so fucking good and I'm upset the series ended there.

My favorite of all time.

also insane that it seems necessary

can someone let me know if Gundam GQuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuux is any good so i know whether to watch or skip it, thanks fellas

please let Pokémon Legends ZA be Switch 2 exclusive. Please. Game Freak needs the extra compute.

I miss Kirby. Do a new kirby.

Sprayduck Progress 3/??? he tiny.

In attempt to fix my sleep schedule before work starts again, I have decided to just skip sleep for one night. I am on coffee 6.

Sprayduck Progress 1/??? Gonna try and take some lessons from the Wailmer Pail adventure and get this fella done soon too
