hahahahahahahahaha *inhales* ahahahaha

Setting up my commission pages on Ko-fi tonight, so there’s a bit more formality to it and less “uh just email me” silliness.

I’ll be adding a tier for drawing my own characters at a cheaper rate as well.

Oh my Hanna Barbera era skeet thread got shared on Reddit. Over 300 upvotes so that was nice. A couple of people thought I was glazing HB though which I wasn’t. Just saying their principles make a lot of sense and I’ve been very consistently in favor of small team/solo productions for many years now

It kind of drives me crazy that a lot of top end studios and creatives have thrown so much money at YouTube without ever figuring out how to make it actually work. It’s a fucking kamikaze approach.

Anyone remember Frederators video podcast? They were putting that out on iTunes every week before YouTube became super ubiquitous, and then kept it up on YT showing various animated shorts. This was before 405736 Cartoon Facts took off and they pivoted

When I was part of Frederator’s MCN I was very confused as to why they were spending millions of dollars to make Bravest Warriors as a TV production for YouTube. It made zero sense, as YouTube revenue in its prime could never pay back the (assumed) $300k BW was costing per episode.

it is deeply odd for a studio to commit to their own vision of what something like Castlevania COULD be, a new path forward instead of nostalgia bait, while still having plenty of nods to past games, only for their reward to be insufferable discourse online about what a "real" Castlevania is

Oof, Hexed got the “recap the whole movie instead of show any jokes” style of trailer, that can’t be good

okay fine maybe I'll play some next fest demos

i wasn't gonna and then i saw a decent amount of metroidvanias and 3d platformers in it. i'm easy i guess

In today's video, I give my thoughts on indie games you know, like Big Walk, and indie games you don't know, like Aggelos 2! With a bonus review of Pragmata, and some surprises along the way. Hope you like it! youtu.be/Q1ZiFSMyELY

Alright, review'em'up #3 is uploaded to youtube and goes live at 11am central. if there's any mistakes in there, who knows. i didn't doublecheck the render. all i care about is it's out and therefore out of my mind. i'm free of one more thing

out of the biggest funk i've had in a while i've finally scraped and clawed my way to the end of production on two things. tonight i'll be finishing Review'em'up #3 (to air tomorrow), and tomorrow I should be finishing Bonus Stage Remastered #5 (to air next week).

i also always wonder if people like all the cuts, lining specific things up with specific words in the script, or if people would prefer to see more unedited gameplay, just seeing how the game plays in real time. i also could do more videos that are just my thoughts on a topic set to indie gameplay.

i've been through a LOT the last couple of months but I'm finally going to be on the other side of it all. that doesn't mean suddenly my output is going to pop off, but I am going to be more in the spirit to make things the rest of the year. finances are the last real barrier, but when aren't they?
