Anton! What is best in life?

When I was a little kid I thought I was going to make video games when I grew up but instead they put me in the office where we monitor the Squidward crushing contraption all day.

There have been a couple of points where I’ve thought about ideas for games you could reasonably play with one hand. As someone with chronic wrist issues it hits me there’s many things I wouldn’t be able to enjoy if I lost the use of it, and maybe it would be nice if there were more things I could.

Here's a bunch of concept art I did for Antonblast's Slowroast Sewer level. Fanamel and I did a lot of sketches and experiments to figure out the look and atmosphere we wanted, and how to execute that using 2D tiles. This thread has roughly a third of all the concepts we made for this level. 🧵1/4

Ruminating on the idea of score attack and realizing that it’s really hard to design score bonuses in a way that doesn’t make me really anxious!! It needs to happen in a way where my fun is not constantly dampened by the worry that I’m about to hit some fail state. This seems hard to balance…

Sometimes for no particular reason I wonder what it’d take to license a cameo appearance of Karnov in your video game.

I used to “theorize” about Deltarune. Then they changed what a “Deltarune theory” is. Now what I have isn’t a “theory” and what a “theory” *is* is weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you too!!

Last night, I thought about how there's no Annie equivalent (that we know of) of that one sprite of Anton you can find inside ANTONBLAST, so I just said "Screw it, I'm making one right now." I NNNNAILED IT BTW

I hate her and she hates me, and you too for that matter.

I like to hope I'm not exactly as annoying as I think I am, although I have also found it best to not get my hopes up. At least posting into the void helps that feeling. Maybe this is why people would write blogs back in the day.

Everyone has had a point in their life where they have had 5 game project files across various engines that all look like this.

Rolling around visions of vidya games in my head. I did not realize I was making it GBA resolution here; in reality it would be larger and the screen would probably scroll with your cursor a bit. I wonder if this communicates well enough how I would want the guns to move.

In terms of trying to put a pitch for a game together it probably is within my means to hire a few people for a limited period of time. But where do you go from there? How do you stay on track and see it through? Project management takes more than just occasionally posting about games you like. Man.

Oh hey, now that this site has better gif support I can finally reupload this one! Anna has a bad, bad hair day.

One day I think I would be happy to have a personal project done that I do not end up deeply ashamed of.

People talk about video games that look fake sometimes but I think Serious Sam TSE might somehow have the fakest looking video game cover art ever.

The funniest thing you’ll ever draw will be a one off gag in a drawpile 5 years ago that you forgot about until literally just now.

we got bb in this bitch

I just wanna make video games !!!!!

Watched someone play a silly HL2 mod last night, and it only just hit me that for the most part the game doesn’t feel like it has “sequences” that disrupt the immersion. Setpieces like “town defense segment” don’t register as “sequences”, just as more of the core game. If that makes any sense.

This Steam review for Serious Sam 2 lives in my head rent free

Started playing La-Mulana. Spent 45 minutes bumbling in circles before checking the manual and learning that my character did not begin the game with the ability to read.

Driving in the morning while monitoring a pear gently nestled in the cup holder next to me, like trying to keep the gnome from flying out of the car in Episode 2

I didn't play the game too much, but I thought it'd be nice to give @apy216.bsky.social something nice, anyway. Happy birthday!

Have a blast. #art #artwork #antonblast #fanart

Hiya Annie, when I don't know what to do I just remember you're the coolest thing in the whole wide world. #antonblast

Undyne with locs my beloved 🐟💚 #undertale

've been meaning to draw @rainingketchup.bsky.social's character Chrysanthemum for a while now, since she's cute and I like her a lot. The right image is for something I have planned later this month.

I’m super happy people have OCs. I want to hear people talk about their funny little guys and gals all the time. It makes me happy that people care about their own creations and that they bring them comfort. It gives me a little hope that maybe things will be ok.

LISA was such a unique game. You’d walk into an area and recruit a party member named Ray whose gimmick is wearing jorts. Ray learns 3 kinds of body splash and 2 scissor kicks and can throw a fireball for some reason. He will unceremoniously be killed by an enemy named Stumpy Joe snapping his neck.

An animation that I did last year that I never really finished, so I figured I would post what I got now. She was just practicing for the big event.

Serious Sam: The First/Second Encounter - PC, 2001/2002 May actually be the world's funniest first person shooter. Not in a "ha ha" way, but the way the game is designed has a wonderful sense of humor. Famous for its bombastic horde action and the arsenal + enemy design support that perfectly.

It’s about to be 2026 but I don’t really have enough material to look back at my art this year. I think instead maybe I will do a media thread and give thoughts on some of the things I played, watched, etc. in 2025. (Don’t have a good header image) Will update this throughout the day. 🧵—>

The internet...? #antonblast
