HOTEL_CATHODIA, v0.1
hello, little birds. i've missed youso 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 you back to it for a long while. it's one of those 'liminal spaces' the kids are into, insofar as such a term can be used to des...

September Update (the Unity debacle)
Hello, little birds. I've missed you terribly and hope you've all been well.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 circles may know why that is, but for those of you who don't, h...

A Hundred Lonely Houses (plus October Update)
i was approached by a dreaming machine, who pressed herself against me and slipped her wrist into my hand, and together we began to composewhich is to say, ya girl got into the Dall-E 2 beta a couple months ago. so here's a thing I put together! an unguided photo-tour of the sweet, uncanny suburbs and residences of nightworld. all the images included in the attachment were generated by Dall-E 2. fine food for long minutes of nocturnal staring...
PHANTOM_HOUSE, July 2022
"Living Room"you probably deserve thisit'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 lanced and drained.the honest truth is, I hate this game. I hate how it feels, I hated working on ...
FIRST GROTTO - Collab with Rolf Nowotny
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 ABSOLUTELY my jam, and installation art is something I've ...
Pardon Our Dust
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 instantly add everyone of each tier to the server even as...

"Grandmother's Garden" ($1000 Milestone Game!!)
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 months trying and ditching and trying again REALLY hard to make that game, but the i...
PHANTOM_HOUSE, April 2019
"Tenement"we're all here for different reasonshello, little birds. I've missed you so muchi'm really not sure what to say here. nothing seems adequate. things have stayed rough-- depression, anxiety, hormone adjustments, being made to go off meds, going back ON meds, all sorts of stuff. some days I'm so tired I can barely think straight. but all that said, I do think I'm finally starting to get back to some kind of bal...
Happy New Year, Little Birds <3
Hello, little birds! I hope you've all been having wonderful winter seasons so far, wherever you are and whatever you like to do in these months.As I write this, there is just over an hour left of the year 2018 A.D. It has been... a challenging one. For me, and I imagine for many of you as well. Things just seem to be getting tougher, don't they? But as difficult as things have sometimes been, there's also a great deal to wonder at an...
Back to it!
hello little birds!!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 bit to bring all my systems back online ...
I need your help
hello, little birds. hope you've been keeping warm and wellso... this is a post I've been putting off for a while, and it's not one I'm happy to have to make. those of you who follow me on twitter may have noticed that I logged on just a bit ago in order to ask for some help. currently I'm facing down something of a financial crisis in my personal life. it's certainly nothing life-threatening, more just one of those times ...

February Update + "Window Wraith"
hello little birds!! how have you all been? well, I hope! it's been some time since i gave you all something, so here's a little game i threw together. i had originally intended it to be a submission for FLATGAME Annual 2016, a truly lovely little game jam hosted by Llaura Dreamfeel and Breogán Hackett. unfortunately i ended up losing confidence in the project and not finishing it in time for the deadline, so i sort of abandoned it for a...

Quick Update
hello, little birds. i hope you're doing well <3just wanted to post a quick update to let you all know where things are at right now. without going in to details, things on the mental/emotional front are worse than they've been in quite a while, which is making things very difficult. i'm trying to keep busy, since often that's the one thing that helps me, but it's not always as easy as I'd like it to be. November's PHA...
