Rise again. Finish the fight! CULTIC: Chapter Two is now out on Steam! It's been a long, long road, and I am so excited to finally share what Nick and I have worked on! Thanks to everyone for their support and patience. Hope you enjoy!

Finally back to making new content for the Nebulous mod. Hopefully all those balance passes and bugfixes will make things smother from here on out.

The Abyss: Coming September 29th!! New trailer too!!!

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

I've seen quite a few folks talking about wanting to replay Ch1 before Ch2 launches, but wanting to wait for the "2.0 Update"... Well heck, that update is pretty stable, so I've pushed it out on the public beta branch for anyone interested! More info: store.steampowered.com/news/app/168...

Look if you haven't played White Knuckle at this point you're doing yourself a disservice. Its great locomotion mechanics let you do death defying parkour through a facility that wants you dead, which results in some truly butt-clenchingly scary moments. I'm so excited to hop back in for more!

Definitely keep your eyes on this one...

This was a neat video, and can give a big thumbs up to several of the games mentioned. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqw...

Submissions for the 2025 Indie Horror Showcase, presented by DreadXP and @themix.bsky.social are still open until September 19. www.indiehorrorshowcase.com Also, a sneak peek at what @comp3int.bsky.social has been working on for the awesome new environment...

Finally home, absolutely crashed last night once I was in my own bed. PAX was so much fun, thank you everyone who stopped by the booth, and everyone I met along the way ❤️

There were so many great moments from PAX West this year, but having the devs there for the @gamesdonequick.com White Knuckle run was way, way up there.

White Knuckle: Abyss Update teaser trailer!!! youtu.be/-FbusR9gaHA?... #whiteknuckle #indiedev

Torchship's dice system is really cool

Cara had her horror game banned on Steam as a result of the recent bullshit. Please check out the site, and donate to help her and the Red Door Family Shelter charity if you can. Also, if you haven't already, get involved, things won't get better unless we *collectively* make them better.

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game. It’s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

There sure are a lot of games about climbing coming out right now, aren't there? But why are so many difficult, punishing games getting released all at the same time, and what does this say about where game design is headed? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdh7...

I think our #PAXWest schedule might be peak, what do you think? Thank you to all of our runners who submitted runs and congrats to our selected runners! 💙 We can't wait to everyone in Seattle!!!! See the full schedule: gamesdonequick.com/s...#PAXWest @officialpax.bsky.social‬

!NEW VIDEO! I adored Half-Life 2's visual style from the day I first played it, so it was only a matter of time before I made this love letter ♥️ youtu.be/hCYciEFFOkE

the problem with being a game consultant is that i just want to, sometimes, say to a client that, in my professional opinion, this game "fucks tremendously" but i am told that i should not do this

My partner’s fallen in love with this mad stressful little game and anything she loves is good as gold to me yall should check it out!!

It does indeed suck. Watch this video to find out why, and what that pretty lookin' space carrier (with art by the wonderful @jonka.bsky.social) has to do with it!

One of the weirdest parts of my last half year is how... absurd it can be at times. Something just happened which is so far outside of anything I ever expected in my life and it all just feels so surreal. I cant even talk about it!! And this keeps happening, in both big and small ways.

White Knuckle - The Abyss Update: Coming September!! #whiteknuckle #indiegaming

RAT KING! A broughlike about a rat and a rat »» torcado.itch.io/rat-king «« 👑 🐁

Some more ship art, this time some stuff I've done on commission! Two pieces I did for the noblesofnull.com community, a pitched battle between two warships!

And did you all know that as of today, I'm only 47 sold copies away from a nice even 400 (or 67 copies away from the funny weed number)? If you or your friends have been thinking of buying 47 copies of my new Lancer NPC supplement, there's never been a better time kaitave.itch.io/lancer-npcs-...

B- Still don't get why we don't just go in. A- Because, this isn't our space, we don't make the rules here. B- Isn't it, though? C- Not according to the charter log, not unless- 1: Alright jockies, locals have given us the green light, that chatters way above your paygrade anyway, now get moving.

Rocketships engaged in hypnotic dances of death cast blinding beams through the gaseous corpses of an orbital battlefield

More Torchship art I did, I have so many pieces I absolutely love. I made so many ships for the universe, and this one in particular (the Newton 2!) just kept getting upgraded with more and more detail.

Throwback Torchship arts!! Realized I haven't really posted much of my ship art here, so I should drop some! I have so many ideas for more once I have time outside of White Knuckle to spend doing other fun stuff.

I made a basic dev testing map for Abyss content, so I can have an open space that plays a little like it but is very simple to slap in various mechanics and threats for experimentation. And it's making me want to make more, maybe for a secret or something. I love dev texture maps, so so much.
