Amazon has deactivated my seller account AGAIN. It’s such a pain to reactivate and I sell so little merch there… it’s just not worth it. I still have about 300 hardcover copies of my art book Mecha Zone 1 that I need to get rid of (one way or another).

Pacific Rim (2013)

Pacific Rim (2013)

I modeled all the Super7 Micronauts. The designs were heavily art directed but I’m still happy with the final toys. I’ve been a big fan of these toys since the 70’s so I feel honored for the opportunity to make these.

We finally finished MD Engine trailer!! You can watch it here ( ˘▽˘)っ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A1o... #MDEngine #megadrive #genesis #sgdk #gamedev #indiedev

Hey fellow game devs! I’m considering attending some game cons in 2026 or maybe even submitting my game for display eventually. What shows are good for retro developers like myself? FYI I’m east coast USA. Please share some recommendations. #indiegames #gamedev

Looking good! I need to add a water tile to my collision routine and then a splash animation. Except water will hurt you in my game!

Red Eye was my last Ultimates! Sculpt as a full time employee. Glad to see he’s getting released.

My friend Gabriel Pryon & resident Grand Master pixel artist on Mega Parodius has made a video on the WIP to date on the port from Arcade to the Sega Megadrive and some of the challenges faced, along with comparisons to the Arcade and other ports. Thankyou Pryon !! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W6K...

After several months of writing, we've finished the 1.0 version of the MD Engine docs! We're reviewing the spelling + grammar and finishing the examples web versions! You can check them here: mdengine.dev/docs/ (っ˘ω˘ς ) #sgdk #megadrive #mdengine #gamedev #indiedev

So mayyybe it's possible to render in 4 colors, it takes 20% more cpu but two palettes of 16 colors are then free for sprites and background #SGDK #SegaMegadrive

Is it #portfolioday ? I’m a sculptor and engineer for toys. I sometimes design as well. I got laid off because of the tariffs :( Here’s a few things I made. I’m looking for full time work if you have any leads! #toydesign #sculptor #zbrush #blender3d #batman #godzilla

Just posted a fun new dev diary about implementing my first mini-boss. It's available to my Patrons of all levels. www.patreon.com/posts/making... #Gilgamech #IndieGame #SoloDev #SGDK #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive

It's World Mental Health Day! 💜💆🏻♀️ Just like in our favorite #games, our own health bar needs attention. Grinding 24/7 can leave you with low HP. Don't forget to pause and restore your health.

We now have a trailer! The Bagman is a 16-bit #pixelart retro #horror game. A stealth point and click. Imagine if Day of the Tentacle met Alien Isolation, but with an 80s/90s slasher vibe and gratuitous gore. youtu.be/aIFD5wO0kDA Retweets are hugely appreciated.

Still really proud of this one. You won’t be disappointed!

What a great wave! The last one I worked on before the massive layoffs at S7. Big Lob was my contribution as well as all the original engineering for the base model of the starter buck. They got rid of the tariff fee but raised the price 😢

Don’t forget to check out the new game footage. Making lots of great progress recently. A perk of basically being unemployed. Thanks, tariffs 😭

Extremely happy with my haul from Retroworld Expo yesterday. I’ve been searching for High Seas Havoc in the wild for over two years! Super great price on the Moonwalker. Can’t wait to play some Gilgamech with the 6 button arcade stick! #RetroworldExpo #segaGenesis

@mechazone.bsky.social hooked me up with a third Fett.

Hey everyone! I'll be walking around Retroworld Expo today in Hartford CT and I'll be wearing a shirt with my game's title screen on the front, Please say hi if you see me and I'll give you a sticker. Thanks and have a great day! youtu.be/OTtaLKP6dec #IndieGames #SoloDev #IndieDev #SegaGenesis
