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…
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.

Hello all. I was trying to build a new weekly blog posting regimen, but I found myself slacking off already after only a few weeks. Well, I’m now getting back on the saddle. So what have I been working on? Well, over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been in talks with my good friend…

This past week… While working slowly but surely on Sannaa’s game, I dabbled in other ideas. I am trying to nail down where I want to put my creative focus. The reason I created Sannaa, and Amari before her is because I’ve been trying to find the path. I am trying to find the best…
