the Now That's What I Call Fanart! bundle is live! this includes 30 works (spanning fandoms from kingdom hearts to one piece to disco elysium) and runs until may 4. $130+ of comics, zines, and games for $15, including my silent hill 3 artbook ERIS QUOD SUM! come n get it! itch.io/b/2972/now-t...

There are 4 days left in this campaign and I really want to see it make its goal. You don’t understand how badly I need more games in my life that encourage and enable my wishes to play as a scheming vizier or simpering court eunuch. And this is TWO GAMES

I love to yap, bring me on your podcasts to talk about video games, movies or audio. I promise I’m funny

I'm starting to embrace the loser mindset. 100% failmaxxing. Dudpilled flopcore. Entering my fizzle era. Girl it's giving last place.

I was the sound designer for this documentary. please support Break the Game in anyway you can. it’s genuinely the most important piece of work I’ve been involved in.

new blog post: HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL early access thoughts blog.dante.cool/hollywood-an... weappy's latest is still a bit rough around the edges, but it's pretty solid as-is, and has a lot of potential. hollywood studio system works really well as a game foundation, turns out!

it's coming up on that time again: Hey! I'm Nat Clayton, an IGF-nominated level designer currently based in BC who's worked on games like TRON: Catalyst, A Highland Song, Minecraft's Console Editions and a bunch of acclaimed little curiosities. and i think you should hire me natclayton.uk

Everyone talking about their disappointment in the new Marathon with a qualifying statement about how much they "do love the game's aesthetics, though" is legally required by law, legally, to hire one of the many artists responsible for those aesthetics whom Bungie deemed unnecessary/ redundant lol.

oh...? what's this...?

dude it's so so SO cool that britain is held utterly hostage by a caste of guardian columnists and children's authors who have never once felt an earnest moment of joy in their lives.

If you’ve played and enjoyed Spirit Swap, the best thing you could do to help us keep making things is review the game! Especially if you bought the game on steam, since only those reviews get counted towards our overall score. (I still read every single one of all 230+, even if steam says 139)

nothing feels better than receiving a text from a fellow hater that says “can I be mean for a second”

Lime bike stations have started appearing in central vancouver so here is me saying: for the love of god DO NOT USE THEM. Theyre on a trial run here, are an American company, and the money you spend on that is funds diverted from public transit or Mobi which deserve your money 1000x more.

I love that Apple keeps trying to force spacial audio on me like I want everything to sound as poorly mixed as humanly possible

I would love it if we could get to, say, 70% funded by the end of our second week! AAA platforms marginalized voices to celebrate underdiscussed modes of sexual expression, which is something I'm told Bluesky supports in the abstract. How about supporting it materially also!

they are busy insider trading

the fact of the matter is some people do not want to see black people in media and we all need to ignore them and continue to make black art because at the end of the day, they were never going to buy or support it either way.

Those who've been following my blog for a fair while may remember a post called "On Tactics and Interest", a sort of attempted breakdown of successful Tactics game design principles. Now introducing the sequel: The ImSim and Interest auratriolo.com/blog/2025/04...

Hi Everybody, Today, I made the decision to resign from the studio I was working with these last few months, which means I am looking for work again! I am looking for remote Narrative Design and Game Writing work primarily but can consult as well. Here are some of the games I've worked on:

great write-up! not just on the campaign's specific asks, but on why it's happening now and why it has a real chance of success
