Went to a dungeon synth concert tonight and it fuckin' ruled. Absolutely sorcerous vibes, a wizard literally pondered an orb during one set, and many journeys through places frigid, forested, and mythical were had.

Jules Guerin, illustrations from Egypt and it’s Monuments, 1908

Replaying all the games that inspired the one I'm making is definitely research and not just me being self-indulgent and procrastinating, right?

A moment of appreciation for the camp food illustrations by George Kamitani for Dragon's Crown, it really set an insane standard for fantasy food illustration.

Dragon's Dogma 2 rules, you all should play it. If you don't want to do that then play Dragon's Dogma, the first one.

I love seeing more and more indie devs taking inspiration from games like King's Field and Arx Fatalis, because once those games click with you they have a weird fun way of worming into your brain and making you constantly want to recapture the experience of your first time playing again.

Why use weathering powders and fancy paints to weather a gunpla kit, when you can use real ashes to achieve a similar, dynamic effect?

Standardizing terms, making edits, adjusting game design systems to work better together, work work.

New fear unlocked: Scalding hot cooking oil almost hitting me directly in my eye.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Growing my hair back out after shaving it and it's in prime "guy who listens to Breaking Benjamin" stage.

Getting to see the first concept sketches of art for the TTRPG I've spent the past few years working on and refining has me LOSING MY MIND. I cannot wait to show this to the world.

I'm not saying you need to pick up SPACE HOLE, but it sure would be cool if you picked up SPACE HOLE on Steam, itch.io, or Nintendo Switch! mokuzai.studio/spacehole/

This is my new favorite Elric design Art by Yasushi Nirasawa

How your email finds me.

Getting art made for this longer term RPG project is nice because now I can show people this thing is real instead of expecting anyone I know to read an in-progress document thousands upon thousands of words in length.

Man, Demon's Souls is so rad. Unmatched vibes in that game.

Castle of Cignolo Po, Italy #abandonedplaces

In other news, you can buy one of the best video game soundtracks of all time on Steam for like, fifteen US dollars.

Summer is over.

SPACE HOLE is now available via @itch.io! Pick it up DRM Free for a dollar, and you'll get every version that gets released on itch in the future! thatsmytrunks.itch.io/space-hole

SPACE HOLE will release on Steam Friday Morning at 9AM CST. Prepare your Dollar. store.steampowered.com/app/3822870/...

This game rules, you should play it, its got an incredible vibe to it that gripped me from start to finish.

bro this sucks. what i once suspected to be passion might in fact be madness

My team has put together a template for your phone calls and emails regarding the #itchio and #steam adult content bans. Take the template and delete the [bracketed parts] that don’t apply to you. #ttrpg #indiegame #queer #lgbt #indiettrpgs #queerart #censorship

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

this is kind of just what Zeta Gundam is about if you think about it

Shame at how rough the story is for the '95 Judge Dredd, because the production values for this film are still ridiculously impressive and cool looking.

Xanadu Next... fun...

Need to do some final touch ups and decide if I'm going to do some oil washes to make it look beat up, but all in all not bad for a first attempt at painting something bigger than just a lil' Warhammer dude. #gunpla

I forgot about the Steam Summer Sale! You can pick up the entire LOVE series for $7.24, and I'd appreciate it if you did! store.steampowered.com/bundle/32119...

One final repost for this one, go give it a download if you haven't yet!

The No ICE in California Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 560 games to discover for a $10+ donation supporting @raicestexas.bsky.social and @immdef.bsky.social Support the bundle here: itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

My next one page game is out! An ultra rules-lite mecha RPG, Giant Shoulders has the players building their pilot, engaging in sorties, and seeing whether they can survive to see another day. Easy to play, easy to modify, go nab yourself a copy now! mdevillar.itch.io/giant-should... #ttrpg

I'm a lil' behind on the one-page games, but the next couple should hopefully come a bit swifter. Ideas are there, just gotta hit the ol' grindstone to get them written and released.

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb. It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around. It is the Rage Against The Machine of games

I know Gaia Gear will never be acknowledged by Sunrise or Bandai for a multitude of reasons, but the should anyhow so I can buy gunpla of the Refined Zorin Soul and the Bromb Texter.
