Happy to finally share that Slumbering Woods received a Games Grant from Screen Queensland! For our small team, this means we can focus on finishing the game without having to look for additional funding. Thanks to Screen Queensland for the support, and to everyone who's been following the project.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

Classic PC game installers feel like lost art

I've been quite busy with music reviews, so I sat down last night to update my own blog. Our life has been Pokopia, so it became the topic of the month. Learn how it made me fall in love with Pokémon again. escpbttn.wordpress.com/2026/04/08/t...

Some very very very exciting news coming up!!!

My team is so supportive I want to cry.

A cage of your own making... [Count Strahd von Zarovich 🦇]

A part of me is terrified for this journey, game audiences are harsh and pull some of the smallest things down. But then I remember my games will probably never interest a greater sphere. I hope it can find the right audience who gets to simply enjoy it someday.

I have my family, my friends and my silly little games I'm working on. That will keep me sane.

Any fellow Aussies out here? Would love to connect! #indiedev

Slowly reworking some of my socials, as well as working on my game. Early gamedev will be great for my "jack of all trades" conundrum. 😂

Finally getting back into rollerblading and swordfighting to keep fit. 💪

Huge steps in planning this week! I feel confident in this game going ahead!

Dungeons and dragons comm! Finished this today, loved doing the wings. 🦋

Amazing games I have been enjoying lately, made by humans with no strings attached and respects your time: PS2 games.

Back on here. At my age it's hard to keep up with multiple social media but I think its for the best. Times are depressing as of late.

Hello all! Much news! I'm working on a game of my own. On top of that, I updated my itch! Anyone who wants to collaborate, other indie devs, or just people interested in some weird little games, feel free to follow me! #indiegamedev escapebutton.itch.io

With Silent Hill f and Silent Hill 2 remake being so successful, the series has returned to modern audiences. We can't forget another fantastic Silent Hill update happened this year. Here's a ramble about one of my favourite games of all time! escpbttn.wordpress.com/2025/10/08/s...

Loki, the All-Butcher. 💚 Love this skin and had to draw him. #marvelrivals

I've been enjoying chibis lately, so I drew my wood elf boys. I love writing their different personalities. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

A Thranduil I drew this week, because I love his face. #thehobbit #lotr

Drew a Namor, king of the ocean. Love that smuggy face. #marvelrivals #marvelfanart

The burdened middle child, still finding his place in the world. I finally drew my druid brother, Signir. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Esquie has to be the most quotable being in existence. "I'm mad. I'm stinking mad."

The music in Expedition 33 is some of the most phenomenal tracks I've heard in a while. I absolutely adored this one!

That moment when you really want to play DnD but you're often the one in the chats asking about sessions and don't want to pressure the DMs because the group won't list dates they're free. Aaaaa.

He will not die in Barovia. Not now, not ever. #dndart #dungeonsanddragons #curseofstrahd

Dnd characters commission for Harley ✨

Did a Hobbit marathon today. It destroyed me. 💝

Also definitely drew inspiration from zelda, mtg and lotr for my recent elf OCs... the brothers almost represent three kinds of elf there. Whoops.

Me: hahaha where is this elfsession coming from all of a sudden? I can't stop making elf characters. My childhood idols:

I loved @anhdangerous.bsky.social 's original artwork so much that I had to make it myself. It houses an OEM PsOne, with a handful of mods, including a functional (but not comfortable) Claw Based controller.
