Sometimes I wonder if it’s a market I can ever get into. I tried making a game and got an alpha out as the last Ouya game. But because of becoming a caregiver, I had to put it on the backburner. Then there was a bigger shift in gaming. Being an indie became harder. More… Continue reading Random Game Funding Rant

Astra Etherium 0? What?!
I can’t be trusted with a keyboard anymore. Just take it away. I was just planning to write an intro for the prequel to my unfinished game Astra Etherium: Adventures of a Space Bounty Hunter in Space and I kept writing. That’s the problem. When I get on a roll, I keep rolling. Now I… Continue reading Astra Etherium 0? What?!
The Indie
Last year I started The Indie. A site based mainly on indie games, developers and everything around it. I wanted to bring more devs to the people. One of the things so great about indie game development is you can reach out and talk to them. They’re right there and no giant wall around them.… Continue reading The Indie
My gamedev journey
As some of you know, I started my journey around 2013. With my game Astra Etherium: Adventures of a Space Bounty Hunter in Space. A bullet hell shmup with a story and RPG elements.

Time can be a friend but also an enemy

My First Oni Press Rejection Letter
So Oni Press rejected my pitch for Astra Etherium: Adventures of a Space Bounty Hunter in Space. What to do… It’s already in the format Dark Horse wants, I just need to change a few words for captions and stuff like that. Maybe Dark Horse or someone else is a better fit anyway. Still waiting… Continue reading My First Oni Press Rejection Letter
My Graphic Novel Pitch
When Oni Press released the info for the open submissions, I was nowhere near ready. I had nothing at all done really. I wanted to get the game out first and then look into the novel part of this but it’s a great opportunity. If I can get my pitch straight and that may be… Continue reading My Graphic Novel Pitch
