HEY! A crazy catch-up, new updates, and a Patron-Only Project Preview

hey.
I've been very busy since I last posted. 

this is going to pack a lot of things in at once. HERE'S WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO:

Life

Not gonna get way into it, but the west-coast fires were a pretty big shift in direction for what I was working on. In September, I was starting to plan working on a relatively massive long-term game project for ideally a particular major platf...

Try out the latest project before it's released... NOW!

New project, and welcome to the weird times.

Hey! It has been... an eventful month.

I'm safe and sound, it's of course shaken up schedule and plans. But the important thing is safety.

To keep you company during this wild time... a new little utility, downloadable in the attachments of this Patreon post!

I'm still deciding what to call this experiment, it's a little thing that turns your desktop into a peaceful meadow. It's an early version.

I was working on some more fun stress-inducing projects, but given all t...

Next project, sneak preview...

Alright, this is hush hush. A sneak, top-secret preview,  just for you patrons. I hope I can trust your discretion. You ready?
What you're looking at is a procedural voxel landscape, built entirely out of desktop icons.

Basically, "Minecraft" on the desktop. Literally.
(the first main version of this idea, anyway.)  

Can you scroll, build...

The Goose Is Loose

This is the latest project - a desktop goose friend who, let's face it - is a bit of a knob.
It's the next level in Windows Desktop hackery!

New year, new project...

Modulo - a new quick experiment

This is an early "slideshow" gif of a new demo I threw together in a couple hours- a fast-rendering physics playspace that seamlessly wraps itself infinitely, in all directions. If you throw a block ahead if you, it'll come up and land behind you. More video/apk to come soon! You can see the above in more reality-warping glory here.


And new sports?...

New Beginnings

Hello! If you're reading this, it means you've made the leap to join my veritable fleet of Patreon supporters, together going boldly forth into new realms of VR experimentation.

To quickly restate the elevator pitch: on my Patreon, I'll be sharing with you a wealth of pre-release content and behind-the-scenes insight. There are, at the time of writing, just a smidge fewer of us here than the ...
