I can hardly believe it’s almost 2024! I thought this would be a short recap, but once I started going through it I realized there’s actually quite a bit to go through, so let’s dive in. Updates, Updates, Updates Though there were no major releases this year, there was a major update to last year’s… Read more »
I’ve written out a full response to the current situation with the Unity engine and its change in pricing model, with some opinion on the change, reflection on my journey and relationship with Unity, and how it affects plans going forward. You can read it over on the blog, which I felt was a more… Read more »
Wow, it’s already time for the mid-year status update! This year has been a quieter one, although that is what I expected and planned for. I threw together a prototype of SE7ENGOKU for Magical Girl Game Jam 7, released as Project D759. It’s mostly a mechanics demo, with one level and most of the core… Read more »
Wow, it’s already the end of the year! This will probably be a shorter status update than the one from 2021. Some of that might be down to laziness, but most of it is because there’s just less to talk about than last year. I expected that, and I think I made the right choices… Read more »
At the very end of 2021, I posted a status update, and at the very end announced that there would be two status updates a year going forward.

In short, I’ve lost interest in Ascension III, the Ascension series, and long projects in general, and after setting it aside for a while I have no plans to… Read more »
As of today, support for Firefighter VR+Touch has ended. No further updates will be issued, and it has been unpublished from the Play Store. The final version is still available and now free on itch.io. I’ve written at length about my reasoning in a devlog post over on the itch page, but I’ll summarize it… Read more »
This is the end of the line for Project Katana. Though I announced it in April, I’ve actually been working on it on and off for almost two years now. Finally, I’ve decided to drop it entirely. There’s a few reasons I’ve decided to call it quits. I’ve never been able to nail down what… Read more »
After five years since the last update, I’ve released a new update to Ascension. Wait, what? And why? The 1.43 update is nothing big, mostly just a compatibility patch for newer JRE versions. Some platforms no longer have audio because of incompatibilities with the audio library, but this is at least handled gracefully now where… Read more »
