Yo, how’s it going? Is bluesky down again? Shame. You know what won’t be down due to AWS outages and/or vibe-coding? Your own personal website! And now I can announce that I helped put together this guide and support forum for indie web devs, so please check it out!

Now, I got a lotta small things done and continue to have a lotta increasingly big things to do, so let’s keep this post brisk.

• I have a new game out! The Voyeur: A BDSiM Side Story, a short kinetic novel from the perspective of The Manager, made for Videotome Jam 3.
  • The game is also hosted directly on this website, because Videotome is an awesome engine for in-browser games.
• There is now a page on this site for Postmortal Figures, which links to all the major works in the setting. It’s only gonna get more sprawling from here, so this is going to be useful to keep tabs on everything, moving forward.
• I also added an RSS feed exclusively for my visual art, and a small feature of my most recent art on the homepage to this site.

I must confess, Tomodachi Life has also been taking up an unexpectedly large amount of my time as of late.

What else, what else… I’m also doing visual dev for a Daydrinking Jam game, which is going to be an excuse to play around with some renpy toys I haven’t gotten to play with yet, so that’s going to be fun. Even if it’s going to be the vast majority of my free time for the next week and a half, ahaha.

Videotome Jam 3 Recs

There’s a lot of variety cram-packed into a lot of small games, so I do recommend clicking around a bit if you’re interested in the medium of VNs. Here’s some personal highlights from what I’ve played so far:

• Me / 我 / Saya / நான் is about dissociation, diaspora, daily life, and forgetting your mother tongue.
• Scrimmage Ball 5050 is about a possible future of (american) football.
• Running at Night is about balancing work and hobbies, and the act of choosing to run when you can.
• This Desolate Night is a beautiful adaptation of an urdu poem about a chukar partridge who yearns for the moon.

The way sinister undertones work their way into this game makes me giggle just as much as she would…

Anyways, that’s all for now, see y’all again soon. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️
