I like the Fusion Suit color scheme so much I made a custom GBA in tribute.

Really enjoyed playing Loddlenaut, a cozy indie game where you explore and clean up an undersea biome (with some "chao garden" vibes for good measure).

Poco is an astonishingly good point-and-click adventure

[tylersticka]

Crypt Custodian is a phenomenal “metroidvania,” designed and programmed by one person (!!)

Finished 1000xResist for the first time today, and… wow. Phenomenal game!

My coworker has a podcast with a running joke about ducks being to blame for UFOs. I drew this art for one of their new t-shirt designs.

Finished Asura’s Wrath the other day. The title was accurate, Asura seemed quite upset.

Norco is a really interesting and unique point-and-click adventure.

Shadow’s design has a lot of fussy little details compared to Sonic’s!

Revisited Papers, Please, still a masterpiece

Replayed Rayman 2: The Great Escape for the first time in years, felt like drawing some of its cast based on their appearance back then.

Finished playing Sheepy: A Short Adventure and thought I’d sketch my take on its protagonist

[tylersticka]

Nana, nanananana, na na na, na na nana na 🎵

(I’ve always found Katamari Damacy surprisingly therapeutic to play)

The 20th anniversary remaster of Beyond Good & Evil is great! What a special game.

I fell off the SNES Super Mario RPG a few times, but the remake's quality-of-life improvements kept me engaged through the finish line.
