Games, software tools, ttrpgs, the handmade web - Barnacle Goose Experiment, World Ending Game - Program Coordinator at Pratt Game Arts - long live the postal service.
now there are at least a few completely interchangable LLM-coded file convertors submitted to the directory every day. you know the type- GIF to HEIC, JSON to CSV, CSS beautifier, that sort of thing. they all look like this and are hosted on a custom domain that will be a gambling site in 6 weeks
late night tinytools.directory audit tonight. removing broken and rotted links as usual (and adding in new finds and submissions) but also thinking a lot about what i want this directory to be good for
You'll be thanked in the special credits and maybe it's a nice place to leave an object / store a memory / hide a message for a loved one / remember a childhood toy / describe something scary / idk I leave it to you.
first day of the second "the browser is already a game engine" class with sfpc. excited for the next 10 weeks of talking and thinking deeply about online games
rare opportunity to show off my favorite laptop sticker by @objelisks.space from our long ago hotswapped controller play through of the world’s best game boy advanced game
Hey I wanted to share out a recently released capstone project from my student Bernadine Mattson! Doo-Daa is a collaged RPG Maker MZ 2003 game where you play as an astronaut cat handing out informational pamphlets marketing the planet Earth to Dadaist aliens. bobby4apples.itch.io/doo-daa
details 2025 was a banner year for my beloved friends getting married. my bright idea of doing a drawing per celebration was only slightly tested
ok one more big detail of the main trunk, since this part alone took me idk 25 hours
making probably-overkill high concept posters for internal events feels like making posters for my high school friends' bands once did and i feel lucky to have the outlet
here's some from last year. real labor of love type energy from me but i truly do enjoy it
Quettel, The Grand Tea Field - a Moon Illustration drawn for Realis (www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...)
The funding campaign for @austinwalker.bsky.social's Realis is live. It's so beautiful and I'm so excited to see it in the world. Here is an illustration I did for the book - "Honing"
I’m also told that the wonderful @ipr.bsky.social will have both World Ending Game and The Ground Itself in stock at booth 12109 so … if you’ve been wanting one of my tabletop games signed, you can pick one up from IPR and then come find me with my students, being very proud of them
The students are making some really remarkable work this year, from racoon roadtrip sim to abstract ecological bird puzzler to dadaist cosmonaut collage, and many more, all previewable on itch: pratt-game-arts.itch.io
I'm traveling to PAX East this year with our entire 2026 graduating class at Pratt Game Arts, who will be showing their capstone games in progress at booth #21104, right across from twitch!
Applications are being accepted for both spring and fall 2026, but the spring sessions are very soon- so we're likely going to keep it word of mouth / friends of friends as we get off the ground. Please share with those who you think might benefit from the space and time. belltowerhouse.org
This home has been such a gift to me over the years, and I'm so excited to see it serve as a creative refuge for others. I find living and working here to be productive, peaceful, and deeply affirming.
