So here is the story. As those who follow me may know, I have been using Construct for my game development practices for quite a while. Construct costs yearly (recently they started offering monthly subs) but to me serves as the best way to develop games without writing traditional code. The event system made it…

What’s Been Up – May 2023
Hello! Just wanted to share and vent about things going on lately. I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m not really heavy on ideas right now. I tried many things since releasing the Jet Dancer game, but none of it really stuck. So I’ve been turning my attention to drawing just to keep active….
What’s Been Up – March 2023
I admit it–I’m in creative limbo. I want to make more stuff; make a new game; sell traditional illustrations. Even been pondering returning to the realm of comics, something I’ve never really done all that well. But alas, all I can seem to do is continue to practice drawing. (Warning: NSFW art ahead.) Since leaving…
What’s Been Up – January 2023 Edition
Hello, just wanted to talk about what I’ve been up to lately. After releasing the Jet Dancer game, I’ve been pondering my next move. Unfortunately, a project that I thought had some potential, the “Amari Rift” project ran aground creatively and I put it aside indefinitely. While I don’t have any clear plans, I have…
My thoughts on AI “Art”
AI is definitely a threat to artists. But it’s also not going to go away. People who are using AI instead of hiring an artist are the kind of folks who wouldn’t have been willing to pay your prices anyway. They would have looked for discounts, for free work, for whatever it takes to spend…
Next Up: Amari Rift
I’m proud that I completed Jet Dancer and it’s made a few sales. But I’m less interested in promoting that product and more interested in moving forward with growing as a game developer, correcting my mistakes and improving my skills. A couple of years back, before I got serious about finishing Jet Dancer, I’d decided…

(@Dualmask) November 5, 2022 You read that correctly. Jet Dancer is done. I bounced back and forth entirely too much. Spent ten years developing a game that should logically have only taken one or two at…
Updates: September 2022
Well, this month I had a birthday. Didn’t do much to celebrate it, just been doing what I’ve been doing: moving forward on the Jet Dancer game. I’m getting close to the end of the development process, at least when it comes to content and functionality. All the stages have been complete for a while…
