Shifting priorities for a minute.

I will always say time and time again that subscription models only last for so long. Did you know what failed from services like Sega Channel and Game Tap? It should have been warning about live service. I’m looking at you; XBox Game Pass. People want to own. Not buy licenses.

How is anyone surviving when every company under the sun charges five dollar subscriptions? That adds up after awhile. How else has every basic service feel like a reoccurring cable bill? This isn’t a “money management issue”. It’s a business model that has sucked us all dry.🩸

Just the finished #SplinterCell Themed Necklaces.

Know, for though the Hand of The Builder doth still shape man and the world through our actions, there are legion who do not believe and wouldst tear down thy work.

I think I got the #SplinterCell Themed Necklace into a working pattern. I wonder if I should make a matching bracelet? 🤔

Inuyasha Necklace I made today.

My most recent Sam Fisher Art Piece is finished. Tacked on are the references I used for his bust and camo. 🐌 #SplinterCell

An old piece of Sam Fisher Fanart from August 2023. #SplinterCell #Fanart

I don't even remember taking this photo. Somehow I like it. #Fallout76

It's with a heavy heart that I am announcing that my forefront presence on social media will less this year as I am stepping back for the foreseeable future to protect my well-being, focus on my creative work, and regain a healthier relationship with my time and attention…

Play GMod, Alone, No NPCs, the Spencer Mansion, “There are no zombies” You tell yourself. The primal fear your brain has; even when the map is empty? … Yeah. Good Luck with that. Whatever you do. Keep your head. Memory has a way to trick you…

After quite literal years of sitting on this magazine cover. I figured it was time to remove the busy background and get Sam free of his prison. #SplinterCell

This is a reminder to get some pizza from Dominos.

Forgot to include the reference image I used to make Scarlet. Seeing she stems from RPG Maker. My bad. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

And what this Character Portrait would look like in-game. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Scarlet’s Portrait is done. 🐌 #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

If you’re wondering. Yes, I’m still hard at work. Just can’t reveal a whole lot atm. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

I understand the irony that it IS 3AM. Work has me buried. GG.

3AM Manifesting Circle of the Night: Gabe Logan. Gabe Logan. Gabe Logan. Gabe Logan. Gabe Logan. Is it working yet? 🥲 #SyphonFilter

📣 Quick update on #ViceMagicCity! The game is now about 85% finished! • All core levels are built • Major story sequences are implemented • Boss fights are in their final polish pass Stay tuned for more, and please Wishlist on Steam! 🎮 bit.ly/Wishlist-Vic... #ZeldaLike #IndieGame #GameDev

Wisconsin Warrior: Anyone who can look at nineteen degrees and say “but the sun’s out” has unlocked some regional resistance stat that the rest of us don’t get. Frostbite Paladin: Requires the willpower of walking outside at negative temps just to get a soda from the gas station.

Getting my own portraits done for Lunar Syndrome has resulted in using Anthony’s Artwork as a base. Looks like it’s his time to shine afterall. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Reminder to use your XBox Points. Mine have been accumulating and cycling. I ended up with that Minecraft DBZ DLC because of it 👀

Still discussing terms of art. Might be awhile before the reveal. Thought I would share that update. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Slow down for a moment 🐌

More notebooks to add to my evergrowing collection of notebooks 🙃

So according to this unless it’s marketed I can’t share everything I modify? 2.3 Do not sell, distribute, lease, or transfer the Resource Pack itself (even if the materials were edited, process, or modified by the User). I’ll share process all I can. 🐌 #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #IndieDev

Reading TOS. Does that mean this also relates to the default assets for RPG Maker? Using DLC. I have a lot 👀 "Solely used for the creation of your game, you can edit, process, and modify the materials contained in the Resource Pack." #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

I really am just tempted to create what I modified for Lost Legend and go that route for the portraits since I have purchased assets I can use for my projects? 🤔 #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

A scattered overview of the artwork I did this year. Various styles as well as requests, fanart and concepts. Don’t know if I’ll match this same energy in 2026 seeing my eyesight has been on the decline. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Again. At this point Lunar Syndrome is not funded by any Kickstarter or GoFundMe. Any current funds are out of my own pocket. I don’t even have a publisher. I am working with fumes, hopes, and dreams. Thank you. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

I am so frustrated over my right eye. It sucks. Nothing I do makes me feel better physically and all it appears like is that I’m staring at TV Static 24/7. How come nobody tells you that when you go blind? It’s been a battle just keeping my sanity over that alone 💀

Doing my own art for Lunar Syndrome or something more than concepts? I would need to dedicate my time. Which in reality wouldn’t be until after mapping. That’s far off yet still 🐌 Nothing has been solidified. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Three full base map layouts later and I finally got this done 🐌 #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

“Being a Game Developer must be the easiest job on the world.” You should see my hours 👀 #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

It’s been a rough day. Don’t judge me 👀🐌

I think I got a color scheme to work that appears more appealing to work with. 🐌 #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Party favors got here today. Just some mini 3D Printed Dragons.

Pssst. Wanna know a secret? Put sour cream in your Mac and Cheese instead of milk. You’re welcome.

I officially don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but I’m trying. Does that count for anything? 🫠 #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Hi, I’m Alyssa. Your Local Wasteland Photographer. (Don’t kill me big guy. Thanks for the shots 😅) #Fallout76 #FalloutVirtualPhotography #Fallout #VirtualPhotography #Photomode #Fallout76Photomode

I’m always working 🐌

Hmmm. You know. If I crack down on Lost Legend after Lunar Syndrome seeing the mapping is done for that project… I might be able to sustain two releases. 🤔 #LostLegend #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Reoccurring and Aggressive DMs I keep getting is that my game that has its story about AI “must” be AI Generated. At the risk of spoiling the story of my script. No it’s not. My script is handwritten. Get a life #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design

Annoying Difficulties in Gaming. What’s yours? I’ll start. Crushing Difficulty from Uncharted. It’s the only game I broke my controller with… 👀 It’s visible through the outer shell and the vibration barely functions. If you shake it- you can hear how loose it feels 🤣🫠😅😵🐌

Hey, so. Jon St. John wants a new Duke Nukem Game. Duke needs our help, guys!! Let’s manifest this!! www.instagram.com/reel/DRdCYJs... #DukeNukem #Gaming #VideoGames

Putting up a new pixel art still. Feel free to tell me what stands out to you in the comments! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. #IndieGameDev #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #IndieGame #IndieGames

Down to brass tax. I got confirmation from my doctors I lost eye sight in my right eye completely due to brain trauma. Does this stop me being a Game Dev? No. Please refer to the statement I made on Twitter. GG. #LunarSyndrome #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #RPGMaker #SoloDev #IndieDev #Design
