Hey, everyone!

Here's the video version of my recent single, Last Online 7 Years Ago, originally available only on Newgrounds. I hope you stick around to the weekend for a big announcement :D

These are the images used in my Liminal works, available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxtTtU-sH8qHqe9-FJBeVPJksH02QBAJ8

I have recently uploaded some of the images I used for my on-going YouTube "Liminal" series to the Art portal, only to have them pulled off the platform a handful of hours later. Apparently, Newgrounds does not like photography, unless it depicts handmade works you make yourself. Realizing it was an overlook on my part, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience. I will upload those pictures somewhere else. They will be on my Discord for now.

Thanks for your support and stay tuned.

Hello, everyone.

I've been rethinking a couple of things regarding the creation of audio assets for games. In the past few years, I have experimented with various marketplaces just to test the waters and experience the novelty of selling my audio to whoever needed it. Five plus years ago was still a different Internet, and the more some places grew in size, the more I saw my own content being put on the sideline.

I have therefore decided to start over from scratch, but with my own rules and pull all the content I originally created for the Unity Asset Store and Audiojungle from those websites. I will repackage them, improve them, and make that the starting point for the creation of new asset packs aimed towards any aspiring content creator and game developer working on a shoestring.

I will likely spread them over itch.io and some other marketplaces that I will link as soon as I'm done doing all the prep work for the relaunch. Licensing terms will also be updated accordingly.

Last but not least, I deleted my Soundcloud. One less dead weight to worry about.

Stay tuned,

I wasn't planning on releasing a new Rust album any time soon, but this one's quite special to me, as it was recorded and produced during the quarantine. As always, special thanks to anyone who tuned in for the premiere and I hope you guys are safe wherever you may be.

Hey folks, I hope you're well and safe.

I was just notified about this initiative in support of the Black Lives Matter widespread protests. You can make the difference by claiming this humongous indie game bundle (over 1'000 games!!) for just 5 dollars or more, if you can. All proceeds will go to charity.

Thanks for your attention.

Hey, folks. How's it going? I hope everything's alright on your end.

I'll just get straight to the point. I've been overloaded with work lately and it likely won't get any better any time soon for at least another couple months. New content, if it will ever be released during this time, will be fairly rare. I am pretty much forced to slate every personal commitment to the future due to circumstances beyond my control.

Rest assured it's nothing dramatic. It's just that I am currently unable to provide anything extra until I finally get a breather. I'll be on and off socials, IMs and what-not, in case you need to talk to me. I'll try my best to reply, but no promises. It's a rough time, but I'll manage.

See you next,

Hey, everyone. I hope you're doing well.

I recently brought some changes to my Patreon page, as I grew increasingly unsatisfied with the previous rewarding system. Over the past few months, I matured the idea that reward tiers were unnecessary compared to what I've been able to provide thus far. Not only were they inefficient, but also exclusive and divisional.

As I discussed in my Discord server, a large portion of my creative process is already out in the open free of charge. There's nothing extra worth paywalling for bragging rights, in my eyes. This is who I am, and this is what I do. I take for granted that whoever wants to support me already knows what kind of content I can provide for them. It's no secret to anyone. My creative history is like an open book.

In light of these thoughts, I decided to step forward and rethink how anyone might contribute to the project in the simplest, most direct, and transparent means possible. There would be pay-what-you-want donations, and no more reward tiers. I would only credit my supporters because I simply view it as the right thing to do and worth expressing my gratitude towards. Nothing more, nothing less.

You get what you pay for, essentially, and you now have the option to do so on your own terms. And that's about it. Stay tuned, stay safe.

Hey folks. Just announcing some likely Patreon restructuring/rethinking in the more or less immediate future. I've grown deeply unsatisfied with our current model and I'd like to implement a more honest approach to the platform. I'll keep you all posted.

I thought of compiling a bunch of relaxing ambient tracks that I composed a while back hoping to soothe everyone's nerves, including my own. They can all be found here, by the way. Enjoy.
