PHANTOM'S REVENGE v.1.1 gml file

A few people asked to see this and so I'd been meaning to post it here - it's the GameMaker studio file for Phantom's Revenge. It's configured to build a file for Windows. If you have GameMaker studio you can mess around with it, it's got all the assets, code, dead code that I never bothered dele...

Lord of Ghosts: Flowerhead ghost story I drew!

I took a break from working on Phantom's Revenge to do this guest comic for Gibbontake's Lord of Ghosts comic that was Kickstarted earlier this year! (Approppriate for Spooky Month, I guess. Purely a coincidence.) I'm one of I think 5 guest artists making guest strips for it, mine is the longest ...

Welp. Been a while. It's been about 4 months since the last installment of this monthly Q&A podcast. In recompense, this episode is almost 4 times as long as usual. I just had that much to talk about. It's been a pretty busy few months and a lot has happened. I moved twice, got 4 credit cards...

Yeah I dunno, I talk about what I've been up to this month, give some updates on the S&P game, talk about embarrassing myself as a kid, and then I go off on a totally irrelevant ramble about Noita. But I have fun doing it and that's all that matters.

Mysterious Construction Sneak Peek #1

Some Phantom Horn sprites and the drawings I based them on.
