I still have my copy of "Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir" on the 3DS with the "Diary of Faces" that it came with. I LOVE shit like that! It doesn't even need to be as in-depth to be a good AR experience. Using a magazine to obtain pass phrases or necessary info would be sick as hell! #indiegames

Some of my projects, like Tankettes and War Grid are centered around themes of war. They are not pro-war and do not glorify it. They both carry distinctly anti-war messages. My belief is war should only be used for national self-defense AFTER diplomacy fails is something I will NEVER compromise on.

Adding to this point: I was 13 at the time. Part of the reason these lies worked on many was the wave of xenophobia triggered by 9/11. Slurs I never heard before and talk of “exterminating all Muslims” became common. If you’re young and think America is doing a fascist heel turn, Ive got grim news.

At the Golden Statue [Super Metroid] made from bristol paper, cardstock, & sketchbook paper adhesives — sobo glue, super 77, and 5 minute epoxy (water — clear epoxy resin)

I love the chunky, squat angriness of the unseen-reseen-unseen Thunderbolt. Truly a machine worthy of the nickname “Thud.” “Yeah I don’t have a neck, big whoop! Wanna fight about it?!”

FINALLY found a super glue that works on IWM without pinning the pieces for 30 min. I need a new sculpt of the Mad Cat MK II (one of my favs) because this one is lookin’ ROUGH and isn’t really posable. Crucible is great though 10/10! #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletopgaming #tabletop #miniatures

It’s time to start reducing the number of hobbies I have. I always feel like I should be doing something with the very little free time I have from work and it’s driving me insane! I don’t even have fun anymore when I actually DO the hobbies, they just piss me off by how time-consuming they are!

Made some record sheets for these 3 Solaris VII knuckleheads. I really need to paint them now. It took some very EXPENSIVE tech but I was able to fit a blazer cannon AND a supercharger on the Jenner. That one will have to watch their heat. lol #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming

Some soon-to-be gladiators for Solaris VII! I really got carried away with the Grasshopper and I kind of love it. Lol I think that one will be “Big Oni.” #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #miniatures

I quite like making periphery abominations. Especially the rocket-centric ones! This time the Marauder II 4H variant! Stabbed the tip of my thumb while trying to remove that cannon. Careful out there y’all! #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #miniatures

Did a little mech surgery. Swapped the missile pods on a Timby and the PPCs on a Catapult 2K. Now I have a Catapult C4 and “we have Blood Asp at home.” #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletopgaming #miniatures #tabletop

Got some GHQ #miniatures to pad out the vehicles for an Operation Klondike scenario I’m wanting to run. Had to get an Imp from IWM as well! Sanely I forgot I needed to acquire more hex bases. Lol #battletech #mechwarrior #miniatures #tabletop #tanletopgaming

Just a quick pirate/Solaris VII gladiator Enforcer. Repaint of a mech I got in the second hand bin at the local games store. #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgamong #minispainting #paintingminis #miniatures

Storms keep hitting the power grid. No gamedev again this week. Here’s a WIP lance of Death Commandos. I tried to make decent cockpits but I ended up frustrated. Base and decals next and I’ll call them done. #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #minispainting #paintingminid #miniatures

Storms just keep rolling through so no game dev again. Took this crusty old misprint Battlemaster and “repaired” the foot. I used it for paint testing but I’ve repainted it as a Solaris VII gladiator. #battletech #mechwarrior #minispainting #paintingminis #miniatures #tabletop #tabletopgaming

The weather has been wreaking havoc on my local power grid for over a month now. It’s extremely frustrating. If I’m lucky there’ll be another brief break in the weather on Sunday and I can get back to it. I have the will, but it’s not worth the risk frying my only PC with a power surge.

I balanced the TANKETTES Village Blitz Mode map by removing half the static turrets. It's still not easy, but it's now manageable if you aren't in the slowest of #tanks. This map will likely be one of the later campaign missions. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #videogames #lowpoly #retrogaming 1/2

Finally time to work on TANKETTES! The shop is coming along nicely. Now you can buy art, card packs, and gacha figures! All in-game currency. No microtransactions here! I need an overlay for the model inspector controls. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #retrogames #videogames #madewithunity #lowpoly

Check out this new beta gameplay trailer for my #indiegame TANKETTES! I've been expanding the features and play modes! Sadly, I can't cram everything into a 59 second video! Try the demo on Steam! #indiegames #videogames #retrogaming #tank #animation #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #gamedev #indiedev

Some Gray Death Legion ready to roll for a 350 PV limit Alpha Strike skirmish today with @squeezle.bsky.social . Turns out their BI is actually 38. It’s hard to calculate when you start factoring in SPAs, Formation Abilities, C3 systems, etc. #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #minispainting

With the news of Mechwarrior 2 and its 30 year anniversary coming up next month, how excited would you be for a fan-made remake of the Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon campaigns made by yours truly in UE5? I’d like to gauge if there’s any interest.

I’m going to have to re-adjust my Earth 2433 map given a few current events since I made the thing. Perhaps a “great northern coalition” comprised of Canada, Greenland, and parts of Scandinavia.

Time to intro some War Grid #mecha, called MACs (Mechanized Armored Capsule). The Centaur is a light but sturdy MAC. It has a level 1 hardpoint on the left arm and two level 1 modular hands (higher level means larger weapon). #indiedev #gamedev #tabletop #wargame #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d

Introducing more #mecha from my in-development #retro #tabletop #wargame, War Grid. The Cobra is a light MAC built for speed. Who needs armor? Speed IS armor. Sporting two level 2 modular hands and no hardpoints, it's ideal for backstabbing quick-strikes! #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d

More #mecha from my #retro #wargame War Grid! This is the Liberty. The pilots of the UFT dubbed it "Lady" due to the cockpit and their zealous desire to be "sons of Liberty." One level 3 hand and one level 2 hardpoint make this light MAC a glass cannon. #tabletop #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d

Introducing more MACs for my #retro #mecha #wargame War Grid. The Rockhound is the bread and butter for many space mining ops. Affordable, but only used for combat out of desperation. It is thinly armored, only has two level 1 hands, and is quite slow. #tabletop #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d

More MACs from my #retro #mecha #tabletop #wargame, War Grid. The Lionheart is a heavily armored medium MAC that is capable of punching up. It has two level 3 hands and two level 1 hardpoints in the torso. Also popular as a mining rig, if you can afford one. #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d

Some HEAVY MACs for my #retro #mecha #tabletop #wargame War Grid! The fastest (and priciest) MAC ever developed: the Mantis! It bristles with advanced tech, including two level 2 hands and two level 3 hardpoints. Lightly armored for its class but fast as a comet! #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d

The last round of MACs for my #retro #mecha #tabletop #wargame, War Grid. The Sitting Bull chassis was based on the design of a Buster to save time and resources. The result was not the superweapon the producer had hoped for, but an under-armored walking target. #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d
