1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

I'm going back to the full-time employment factory next week (making bread again) so that means my pace for creative projects will slow down, but I'll still be working on stuff. I'm currently working on a video game project called ALPHABET SOUP that will be here by the end of June!

If you find yourself in Indianapolis for whatever reason between now and October, do yourself a favor and make time for a visit to the recently opened Contemporary Art Museum of Indianapolis. I'm happy to have contributed to this rad group exhibit: camindy.org/exhibitions-...

WIUX was the best official part of my college experience.

I uploaded images I made in the art game Become a Great Artist in Just 10 Seconds into another art game called The Catacombs of Solaris Revisited, where they can transform wildly as you shift between 2D and 3D perspectives. Here are some screenshots I took this morning. Very fun stuff!

Making images in Become a Great Artist in Just 10 Seconds (dryad.technology/artist/) has become a daily practice over the past month or so, so I might as well make a thread and throw in a new one each day.

I made video art with a video game to emulate video feedback techniques to accompany experimental music with audio feedback techniques I made with my friend, and now I share it here with you. youtu.be/5L5Zcf3LgmE

Hey! I wrote a review for the cool old video game Umihara Kawase Shun for a local zine. Check out the whole zine here: indyindies.itch.io/indy-indies-...

A tornado was within a two minute drive of the kids and I last night. Glad everyone is okay.

Currently filling out the FAFSA form which includes the mandatory question of what's the student's sex, male or female, with the information button leading to this 404. It does state that the question is used for research purposes only, but the let record state that I prefer not to answer.

These are both really, really good games that I probably sold to pay for rent at some point as a young adult.

I hope i saw the tv glow wins a lot of oscars tomorrow.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Sometimes it's soothing and grounding to read research articles that are related to things I go through [moreso healthcare but in an education setting.] It's easy to feel like you're going through it alone, but the results are in, and everyone else is too.

I've be struggling to comprehend how the sweeping disruptions to federal programs and mountain of executive orders is having a real-time effect on people here in Indianapolis. So I'm starting this thread to keep track of stories documenting the impact. Let's go.
