hello, little birds. i've missed you
so here's something. dug this up after having started it a couple years ago and left it to collect dust. A twine project-- a hotel, located in the same world as a much earlier work of mine, Circadia. i spend a lot of time in this world, and have wanted to take yo...
2024-04-30 23:27:04 +0000 UTC View Posthello little birds! apologies for the long silence, a proper update coming soon, but I wanted to post quickly to let you know about something exciting. one of our very own little birds, the excellent Rosa Marouane, is hosting a showcase of KH games to be shown at the Rio Theatre in Dalston, London THIS SUNDAY at 1:00 PM (GMT+1)! the whole thing is to act as a fundraiser, and all the necessar...

No moody video or fancy image for this one, because I needed this to be timely and there's a whole lot to say.
The thrust of this update is that I've been forced to stop using Unity after ~8 years as an almost entirely Unity-based developer. Some of you who pay attention to game development circ...

here's to the next one
built on the corpse of the last
where with hope and luck, flowers will grow
hummingbirds will feed
roots will drink
and a few more wraith-wrapped cities will fall from my lips
thank you for all you do for me, little birds
thank you so, so much

it's been too long, little birds. thank you all for sticking with me for as long as you have. this game is not the larger thing that I've been working on and previewing in my updates. this is a new, short thing that I started making because I had to. 'expression' in the sense of something lance...

hello, little birds ♥
here's something special and unique for you: recently I was contacted by installation artist Rolf Nowotny (a little bird, as it happens!), who asked me to collaborate on an installation that he would come to call FIRST GROTTO, an examination of homes and their sometimes pernicious parasitism. I was and still am elated to have been part of this project, it is...
Just wanted to post this quick update to alert all of you to a couple things. It's possible that some of you who use Discord and have it hooked in with your Patreon account may have just now noticed that you'd suddenly joined and then left a server. That was my fault-- while working to integrate the Discord server I'm making with this Patreon, I was not aware that the bot would ...

something with many doors

hello, little birds!
so, remember that time, a good while back, seriously like I think almost two years ago, when you all got me to my milestone goal of $1,000 a month? and how it was such an incredible and momentous thing, and I promised to make a very particular and special game for all of you as a reward for it?
well. that game was fuck-awful. seriously, I spent...

well, after however many weeks it's been (about 94 if my math is right), I think I'm ready to bring my self-imposed vacation to an end and get back to work. it turns out I'm actually pretty miserable at relaxing, but I'm definitely in a better place than I was, and I'm ready to shake off the cobwebs and get the gears turning again. it'll probably take me a little...
