Merrahaunuhmakwanzakon, my friends. Thank you all for such a great year. Both professionally, and personally, this has been one of my favorites years to be around. So many personal milestones, so many opportunities, so many great moments. It was all because of you. Thank you.

My Hamtaro video has surpassed an hour.

Nothing could prepare me for Plants Vs. Zombies with twelve lanes.

Draco fascinates over the non-existent. She's about to explain Replica Items and it's a pretty confusing concept. (Also, her eye is missing because she lent it to Ix.) #screenshotsaturday #CubenenGardens #RPGMakerMZ

I've planned to make a fixup update this year for CG:B🟢🦘 Though, a couple content creators I've asked to pick up the game since then have found additional small oversights here and there.

The Brave Little Toaster is the most furry-coded movie that has no actual furry designs in it.

💭 I'd love to put Myst-style puzzles in Ix's game, though I fear a lot of players won't have the patience for them. Maybe I could throw one or two in the demo and make them technically optional, just to gauge interest.

Adding something very fun to Ix's game. Uncommon main weapons with a huge variety of designs and effects that you gain through story progression, and have a habit of changing your playstyle quite a lot! Y'know, like Keyblades! #CubenenGardens #screenshotsaturday

It has come to my attention that my game works well on Steam Deck!

But how will this affect Cubenen Gardens lore? 🤔

More art. -Some kind of helmed equine character. -A butler, fumbling. -Basquoe sitting down. -Ix holding a very unwieldy weapon known as the Clayfreak.

I think 2025 has been my first year since I've really started creating stuff for the internet where I spent more time and energy on the gamedev side of my stuff than YouTube. It's paying off! It feels great to finally have a big story out there!

I've had a bit of an obsession recently with overly complicated damage formulas. What do you meeeean the Thunder magic in Kingdom Hearts uses Euler's number in its damage calculation?? Why! What necessitated that!

Goforth has very quickly become my favorite character to write in this chapter. Also, big news. Ix knows about British people 🇬🇧 #ScreenshotSaturday #RPGMakerMZ #CubenenGardens

Maaan, Kingdom Hearts really do be about cardiology.

Birthday Gift for @thegamedawg.bsky.social louie fellas!(*´ω｀)🎉🎂✨️

For the week of my birthday I've put my game at a 10% discount. Go check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3827560/...

It's my birthday!! 🧁✨

Happy birthday to @thegamedawg.bsky.social

I was made aware of this frame from Fievel Goes West and wanted to draw Ix and Russle like that. Wow what cool posing.

This is interesting!

There is absolutely no irony behind this choice whatsoever. Bird Game made me muse over what it could all be about and what it means harder and more thoughtfully than anything I've played this year. Also, my game of the year is To a T.

Meet Abstract Bird A bizarre avian made of marble who likes to quiz others. A bit vain and dryly speaking. His most treasured possession is a thesaurus, which was bestowed upon him by "God." Whoever that is.

Plok for all intents and purposes is a progressive rock album disguised as a video game.

Gonna be real with you, these two single items are making me want to cancel a big video idea I had planned where I read every item description in Once Upon a Katamari, like I did when I completed the collection in We Love.

Unsure if I was particularly prepared for the big twist of Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

You can't be serious.

Worked on some chapter cards for my game.

Worked on a couple new scenes this week. Including a new intro! #CubenenGardens #ScreenshotSaturday #RPGMakerMZ

Some kind of fox bard. His name is Ansel. If you've played Michael's game.. he might look sliiiightly familiar?

I've been having a ton of fun putting this new video essay together, by the way! It'll likely be in multiple parts and production will run well into next year. Crazily, I might have the most in-depth video on Hamtaro on the entirely of the internet when this is all said and done.

You know those work raffles people never win? I actually joined one and won the third place prize. And it's the prize I wanted the most, actually. A year pass for free admission to state parks for 2026. Maine has beautiful state parks.🏞️ Suffice it to say, I'm doing a lot of hiking next year.

Cowbera squuired!

Unsure if I'd call this a New Year's Resolution, but a goal for 2026 is to try more PC games from a bit before my time. Case & point, I'm starting early by trying the original Myst. It's so non-handholdy! You need some patience for it. But in a good way! It's still incredible!

This is something I ought to elaborate on in a video someday but the Katamari series has been weirdly educational for me ever since I was a kid.
