I don't know what to do anymore. None of my projects or skills are producing a living. I've already lost everything, and the whole world seems completely crazy.

I thought that if I kept pushing OHYAD towards completion, I might succeed, but the truth is that OHYAD earning $150,000 to make up for the two years I've spent developing it and not having a real job or two is just as crazy as trying to get and keep two or three jobs to do the same this whole time.

I'm not doing well lately, but I still intend on giving back:

Once I have it down, I will upload and share ELZ_1 specs/knowledge and wavetables. It's a good machine but needs support.

Same with the JD-XA. Just ordered a cover for it, too. No more grandma plastic for me! I like this machine and want to keep it!

And same with the FANTOM-06. I've taken to it faster than expected.

Oh wow...Flexur would be quite a novel addition, and I've already used a Trautonium VST and recognized that this is best done as an expressive physical Synthesizer.

I want one...but I'm poor.

Compunet — the UK's 1200/75 baud C64 online service that ran from 1984 to 1993 — is back. Not a tribute page. Not a screenshot archive. Compunet Reborn is a faithful recreation of the original protocol running live over TCP/IP. The C64 doesn't know the difference. That's the whole point.

I posted on patreon today about my thoughts going forward with all creative projects. For now, I'll be slowing down and spending less on them. I will still try to hit goals for summer.

I finished this month's OSC entry! I wish my other work went this smoothly and quickly.

I'm going to try to keep music stuff and personal stuff on Mastodon while putting strictly GameDev and fun stuff on BlueSky. I don't think I'll be able to stick to it, but I think that might be best.

A negative review my 90% positive game just got

What I read: "Yes it's fun, but since this is priced accordingly and I don't want indie devs to be sustainable, I would not recommend this game."

Please indie devs, don't fall for this. Set the right price. Don't be part of the race to the bottom. #indiedev #indiegames

I think I'm gonna cry. I found a lot of songs I've thought I lost forever.

Thanks to all the people out there preserving this stuff...
