Wanderstop is about burnout, yes, but it’s also about injury. Here’s me on ambition, pain, recovery, and stillness, in the game and in life. I’m proud of how this piece turned out, and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Here's a closer look at the title/logo sequence I created for the "Intergalactic" trailer using practical/analog FX. The spiral background is a miniature magnetic vortex @steph-sheridan.bsky.social & I made, filmed at 1000fps. The logos were made with CRT TVs & glitch hardware. More info in alt txt!

Finished Octopath Traveler 2 this weekend. A huge improvement on the first game, adding some minimal interaction between the characters, far more compelling individual stories, and better exploration & dungeons. Also incredible art direction, showing an evolving mastery of the “HD-2D” art style.
