It's #PortfolioDay! I'm Jer. I draw comics, illustrate ink-on-paper, and build a social networking game.

I am Don't Starve'n with Wolf! twitch.tv/ironohki

I am starting a new feature today for New Match City to improve how players collect cards through gameplay. Currently, you get 1 new card when you play with a person 3 times. I'm building an EXP system that will reward more in game actions. #indiegame | #indiedev | #gamedev newmatchcity.com

The Thought Bubble comic con is next month. Very excited to go again this year. Most comic con's I've been to are all industry with a cozy little indie section. Thought Bubble has the most indie comic artists I've ever seen all in one place that. @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social

I have thought about this all my life.

1. Do big social things. 2. Nothing goes wrong. 3. Everything goes really well in fact. 4. Huge irrational anxiety anyway. 5. Hecking eff butts. To be fair, I keep doing big social things, so I must be making progress.

Post a screenshot of your indie game. Just pic. No description. #indiedev #gamedev

Deployed website version 1.7.1 Deployed game engine version 1.7.1 Added several quality-of-life features to gameplay, including a visible game timer, a round indicator, gameplay help and new interactive elements. Added new links to social media. #indiedev | #gamedev | #indiegame newmatchcity.com

I am playing Black Myth: Wukong with Fermata www.twitch.tv/ironohki

Me: I should keep working so this feature will be perfect. Me: I should stop working and play video games so I don't burn out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #indiegame | #gamedev | #indiedev

i think this article + chart are a really interesting idea, but i think the # of credits axis needs some refinement. the core team for cobalt core was 3 people, but for instance we also have like 50 people in the credits for the various localization teams (which we are happy to credit, of course!)

I am almost done with a fresh quality-of-life patch to New Match City, but I'm struggling with a couple design finishing touches. I think I'm a good designer, but I would love to have the budget to hire an amazing designer. #gamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

I started a new Don't Starve Together map with one of my oldest friends. www.twitch.tv/videos/25850...

I am playing Don't Starve Together with my old friend Wolf! www.twitch.tv/ironohki

Thank you for raiding me tonight, CBee! You're a great skelefriend! @cbeesleyecho.bsky.social

Tonight I learned about "Oracle Bone Script," which is one of the most metal names for a real thing I've ever heard in my life. It's the earliest known form of written Chinese language. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_...

Am live, streaming some Black Myth: Wukong with a friend coaching me through it. #streamer | #twitch | twitch.tv/ironohki

My buddy Knewbridge is streaming art for the first time in a while, working on his comics. Please go say hi and give him good energy. #twitch | #streamingnow | twitch.tv/knewbridge

Yoooooooo! Crystal Rail made it's goal! Still a couple days left in the campaign. Get in there, folks. I played the demo, this game is great. #indiegame | #kickstarter | @densetsuvii.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

I do cozy art streams with cat. twitch.tv/ironohki/cli...

Ink finally done on this piece. I will color it digitally. #art | #illustration | #penandink

Art Stream is now. twitch.tv/ironohki

Playing some Black Myth: Wukong. #streamer | #twitch | twitch.tv/ironohki

If you haven't played my game yet, you should try it. New Match City is a two player "getting to know you" card game. If you sign up you can build your own topic deck, but as of today you can play without signing up. All you need is to someone to play with! #indiegame | newmatchcity.com

Deployed website version 1.7.0 Deployed game engine version 1.7.0 Deployed schema version 1.17 Players can now start a match without signing up, using a generated name and a provided deck. Also makes the "how to play" screen a little more fun. #indiedev | #gamedev | #indiegame newmatchcity.com

Time for some Don't Starve Together alone. Been practicing beefalo training, gonna see how quickly I can tame on on a new map. #streamingnow | #twitch | twitch.tv/ironohki

New feature for NMC is testing well. I'll be deploying tomorrow. This will make it much easier for folks to play if they don't feel like signing up yet. I also added some more juice to the "How To Play" popup.

A summary of what I post.

Finished the bookcase on stream today. I'm really happy with how it's coming along. #art | #illustration | #penandink | #wip

Just streaming some art. Come hang out. #streamingnow | #twitch | www.twitch.tv/ironohki

Going live, playing Don't Starve Together with Shiny and Squirrel! #streamingnow | #twitch | www.twitch.tv/ironohki

Stream plans this week: Monday, 5PM PST - Don't Starve Together with Shiny and Squirrel Tuesday, 1pm PST - Art Stream Thursday, 7pm PST - Black Myth: Wukong with Leo #twitch | www.twitch.tv/ironohki

Putting finishing touches on a new feature for New Match City. I'm making it much easier to play without signing up. I hope to be pushing this live early next week.

Quality napping. #cat

Tuesday Night Monke. Streaming Black Myth Wukong. #streamingnow | #twitch | twitch.tv/ironohki

Incremental progress. #art | #illustration | #penandink | #wip

Tuesday Night Monke stream will be starting soon.

Am live, doing a quiet art stream. #streamingnow | #twitch | twitch.tv/ironohki

I am going to stream art, then stop streaming, then later stream again only instead of art it will be monke.

Robert Redford passed away today. My name is Jer, and I was named after the Robert Redford character Jeremiah Johnson. I feel an emotion about this.

Thursday Night Monke. (Streaming Black Myth Wukong) #streamingnow | #twitch | www.twitch.tv/ironohki

I will be streaming Black Myth: Wukong a little later tonight.

If you support me on Ko-Fi [ ko-fi.com/ironohki ] for any amount, you get to see a super shitty comic I draw once a month. I was behind cuz I was busy with PAX prep, but I just caught up.

I penciled this piece out ages ago. Finally started getting ink on the paper for it today on stream. #art | #illustration | #penandink | #wip

No mic art stream. Working on a piece I started a long while ago. #streamingnow | #twitch | twitch.tv/ironohki

Back to work today. Got a lot of great feedback from PAX that I want to incorporate. I'm going to make the game even easier to play without signing up, and add some more instruction to walk people through their first game. #indiedev | #gamedev | #indiegame @newmatchcity.com | newmatchcity.com

Now that Pax is behind me, I finally could switch to art mode and initialize Sketchbook #32. [African Violet, Jellybean Cactus, Tradescantia Tricolor] #art | #illustration | #penandink | #plant

Pax is defeated. It's time for more Monke. Streaming Black Myth Wukong. #streamingnow | #twitch | www.twitch.tv/ironohki

Crystal Rail is a really cool game featuring illustrations by the very talented @densetsuvii.bsky.social. I played the demo a while back and it's extremely charming and fun. I just backed it on Kickstarter and you should, too. www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

I am paying for four days on my feet burning full social energy.
