The best professional advice I can give anyone can be summed up in three words. *Never grow up*. Here is the latest episode of frame story nonsense from #NESmaker as part of our annual Byte-Off competition season. I promise...the plot thins. youtu.be/hdfSkMEYbFg?...

Super humbled to get some great press on Bitmask Games and GGJ this year, but absolutely floored to see it made front page news! We all need a bit of good news these days, right? Kids coming together to make new NES games - what better news is there? :-)

Happy holidays! Continuing to toil away at out proverbial north pole on more tools to help bring new people to the retro development party :-) very early peek, but figured it made for a good holiday share! youtu.be/KvIUMEodmPc?...

Friends, I don't care how strong a person you are, but if you don't bawl uncontrollably at the loss of your faithful dog, you're probably incapable of love. Thank you for being the best companion a man could ask for for almost 2 decades, and teaching my kids to love animals. I'll miss you very much.

This is another trying day in a difficult week that's part of a hard month wrapped up in a rough year. But there are bright spots. When looking for local devs to see if they'd be interested in a #GGJ location at the studio, I accidentally found this. I hope everyone else finds a small win today too!

So many new friends, so many great artists and so many great st #pixel-art ! If you fancy yourself a decent pixel artist hit me up in a DM :-)

For those who may think it's a competition, we are SUPER excited for our friends at @gbstudiocentral.com that a mod was able to make a new tool for making NES games, too. Anything that brings more people to the party, I support! I hope folks will be excited for RetroGameForge, too - keep an eye out!

So, here I am on BlueSky. Lots of new developments coming to #NESmaker, so maybe this platform is part of a series of *new beginnings* :-)
