pinned post!
It’s time for a new chapter, y’all. In a few short weeks, I’ll be stepping away from Six One Indie. Six One has been an unforgettable journey; impossible to sum up in a single post. The May 21st showcase will be my last, so y’all better show up for the indies and a proper farewell. Thank you 💙

A bittersweet final PAX on the media/showcase production side of the fence. I only *slightly* emotionally broke once! Whether it was the kindest words about the showcases, extreme hype over the secret next thing, or a simple hello, thank you for all the love and support 💙

Feeling feelings about PAX East being my final event on the media/creator/showcase director side of the industry. Excited to see everyone in Boston tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s 2018 vs 2025.

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

Traveling to Boston next week for PAX East? I have tons of recommendations for you but some key things worth saying: - please tip your servers and bartenders - please venture outside of the convention center for food & beverages, there are some good places in that footprint but so much more beyond!

Overwhelmed (positive) by all of the love and kind words. There’s been a whole lot of anxiety and fear leading up to yesterday. So sincerely, thank you. It’s impossible to keep up with the messages, so please accept this purrito as a token of my gratitude.

Late to the party, but Tainted Grail rips. I’ve been itching for a Skyrim-like, and it’s hitting all the right notes by a country mile. Much love to Awaken Realms for sending over a key! Enjoyed the initial hours so much on Deck, I bought it on PS5 and started over for the better frames/resolution.

We heard some folks get nervous about attending gaming events in person, for a lot of reasons.

has some hard-earned advice for having fun, being respectful, and getting the most out of cons like GDC.

Opening up on main a bit, we lost the big guy to renal cancer 11 years ago today. It feels like he should be sitting next to me on the couch right now, (lovingly) rolling his eyes while I’m still here playing Pokémon all these years later. Cheers to the good ol’ days 🍻

We’re somehow approaching March, so I think it’s about time to come clean. The rumors are, in fact, true… Once again, I’ll be in Boston for PAX East. Let’s grab midday tea and talk about Six One, your projects, and everything in between.

I’m about ~8.5 hours in, and man, Demon Tides rips. The platforming and stages/islands built for all of the interworking mechanics are undeniable. My *only* slight knock against it is not loving the Wind Waker-like open world. But there's no doubt it will go down as one of my favorites of the year.
