Got to play with the markers again for the first time in a while.

Sometimes you'll need to do more than just click to collect the items in this hidden object game. #indiedev #cozygames #hiddenobject

Hey hey, I am streaming with friends tonight! Time to continue my overdue trek through "The 50." Join us at www.twitch.tv/clock_out_ at 8pm EST!

It might not look like it at first glance, but a lot has been done under the hood, and I've learned so much this past year and can't wait to continue fleshing everything out!! #solodev

☢️ Spot has become the Demon Core ☢️

My cat has the same aesthetic as a medieval cow painting.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Are you looking for a ☕️- cozy 🔎- hidden object ⭐- collect-a-thon 🗺️- adventure? Look no further! A Little Lost is full of colorful characters and worlds for you to seek and find to your heart's content! #pitchyagame #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame

Highlight of my day yesterday was for sure getting to hold my co-worker's pet bunny.

Been a real busy bee lately. Have a panel and games as art gallery opening in 2 days along with pitchyourgame and prom is Tomorrow!! 😂😅

Let's be honest, that rock had it coming. #screenshotsaturday | #gamedev | #indiedev

The FREE PLAY Exhibition at The Cleveland Institute of Art is just around the corner! Opening reception on Nov 7th! #gamedev #clevelandart #clevelandtech www.cia.edu/exhibitions/...

Building out some debug tools for the next feature. However, at the moment, Spot is just being shot at by a million lasers. #gamedev

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here is a time-lapse of the stage Garden Garrison coming together with music by @chelwongaudio.bsky.social

I'm sad to say that I'll be taking a break from the Monday Clock Out streams for a while this month. I've got back to back events for @littlelostgame.bsky.social and will be very busy but excited for new stuff! Other members of the crew will still be streaming though so go check them out!!!

Just a few weeks away from the Cleveland Gaming Classic Sep 19th-21st! Looking forward to hosting a booth in the indie game dev section, so come on by to play the cozy collect-a-thon adventure, A Little Lost! #cleveland #indiedev

Sometimes there are those days where you are trying to get work done, but you end up having to do adult stuff all day. Doesn't help that when trying to fix the car, my tools broke 😅

Mimic sequence is slowly coming together. #indiedev

Going to be doing some animation for The Mimic tonight on the stream. www.twitch.tv/clock_out_

There's something really funny to me about how this animation blockout looks. #IndieGameDev #WIP

Going to be streaming some modeling and design for a new level tonight at 8:00 est. Clock out and hang out with us! www.twitch.tv/clock_out_

Finishing up a bunch of contract work and that makes me excited because... I get to spend the whole next week working on A Little Lost! @littlelostgame.bsky.social #indiegamedev

Genuinely wish I could participate in the GMTK Game Jam this year. I have so many ideas for the theme 😅 Good luck to the jammers, though. I look forward to playing the games!

I've done so much low-poly, programming, and dev stuff lately, I might just go and sculpt a rock this weekend! 🪨

Those coins aren't gonna grab themselves. Happy #screenshotsaturday! #indiegamedev

Get yourself someone who looks at you like Lanky Kong in the promo image.

"Which game from the case would you like?" They asked #donkeykong

I haven't posted much about A Little Lost in a while. This is mostly because I've managed to land a few contract game dev gigs in the past few months, which have been eating up my time. But, I've still been working on some cool things for the game so stay tuned for some updates soon! #IndieDev

Have a good GDC all my game dev folks! I'll see you again another year.

Let's stop pretending. When saying "no pun intended," we've already called attention to it and it is definitely intended.

Gonna stream some new Spot animations on the ClockOut stream tonight. Join me and some other friendos at 7:30 EST twitch.tv/clock_out_

Started hanging up my marker doodles on the wall. (The fridge was full) #tf2

I was proud of this fit I had for my fireside chat the other day. And we accidently matched yellows!!!

Tomorrow I have the absolute pleasure of hosting a fireside chat with my friend and co-Cleveland Game Devs organizer @jarrydhuntley.bsky.social www.cia.edu/events/lunch...

These were the drawings that really solidified Spot's design for A Little Lost

I wish I could write conclusions to academic work like I did when I was 9. "The End"

Tickets for the 2025 Global Game Jam CGD site are now live! www.eventbrite.com/e/cleveland-... We will again be hosting at the Midtown Tech Hive but, there will be no overnight stay. If you would like to stay nearby, the Tru by Hilton hotel is next door to the Tech Hive and is a great place.
