Leftist author, podcast producer, and game dev. He/Him. Looking for work as a game writer or narrative designer.

I've written a dozen novels, produced a few seasons of a full-cast audiodrama podcast, and made a few games. Collaboration is the best thing.

Sometimes I dabble in pixel-art, but only low-res stuff, and it takes me forever.

I use #Midjourney #AIArt to illustrate my weekly #ttrpg campaign for my players, and occasionally to spin up art for blogs. Here's a dungeon for something I'm writing about the early #crpg #retrogame Wizardry.

Warning to #InteractiveFiction creators, someone is trying to get Itch.io pages taken down that include the phrase "Choose Your Own Adventure". The person issuing the notices, allegedly on behalf of Chooseco, has been reportedly difficult to deal with, and seems to be trolling/bullying smaller creators.

Got an idea for some serial #interactiveFiction games. Something episodic.

Might be in #unity, might be in #godotEngine, maybe #twine or #inform. Working on the details, maybe I'll whip up some "pilots" to see what strikes a chord with players.

I post about #retrogaming, old comic books, #gamedev, #writing, leftist politics, #pixelart, and #ttrpg.

Do I need to join a bunch of different interest and juggle multiple accounts? Stay on a general instance like this one? Something else?

Somebody help figure this out.

Matter of Import is a review series where I cover games that never saw a US release. I've done over a hundred of them dating back to 1979, and you can find them all on the Blown Cartridges youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDQj54Gd-w8RTdukMrQScQ/

Matter of Import #102: Birdiy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qesZ8wNsFhY

Birdiy (not a typo) was the only game released by the Japanese Mama Top corporation, which is unfortunate because it’s an interesting idea hampered by uneven execution. The core gameplay here is feeding your baby birds the caterpillars on the leaves of the tree, and the inchworms hiding below the ground - give your chicks all the food, and they’ll grow into healthy adults and you’ve beaten the level.
