The Final two episodes of RHATAF: Zelda are here! After a phyrric escape from Lon Lon Village, our heroes ride the spirit tracks out through a newly occupied Zora's Domain, and further from there, they move to the Witch's Academy in the North! Can they keep ahead of Zelda? moonshotpods.com/rhataf

Honestly counting down the days to this one. Can’t wait!

I’m undergoing a huge art refresh for Barty with an actual artist revamping most of my work. I want to reveal it all in a trailer once it’s complete, but this new Princess Dolly was too good not to share. #gamedev #indiegames #cozygames #wholesomegames

I wrote my first ever article about the growing dynamic between me, my daughter, and Astro Bot. Check it out below and thanks to @patrickklepek.bsky.social for giving me a chance!

Officially making the thing! The "Barty's Adventure spring demo that probably won't be ready until summer" is in production! #gamedev #indiegame #cozygames #wholesomegames

To show the effects of time passing in Barty's Adventure, the food NPCs in The Kitchen get sick over the three days. They mostly end up as Rotten enemies. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #cozygame #wholesomegame
