Human who makes games. Mostly for pico8. Looking to move from my marketing career into dev. I'm @ampyourgrowth on twitter where I'm a rando poster. Hope to be a little more dev focused here. He/Him

Moon looking pretty great through the binos

Second attempt at sculpting. I'm absolutely stoked the wings worked out. It will probably all crumble in a few days but at least I got the shot.

I mean this with all sincerity. How do you research and how do you pick the topics you want to research?

Kids love to draw and so I finally decided to purchase them a nicer SketchBook. Absolutely the best purchase I have ever made for them. They just ask for it and draw constantly now. We used to just use loose leaf papers that we had but this is so much better.

Dredge is an amazing game!

Finished day 3 of 30 stream and it was awesome. Thank you so much for popping in! Sorry to have to cut this one short!

Little preview of the #pico8 game we're making in the stream. No plan for the game, but re-learning character animation has been fun!

5yo wanted to learn to sculpt so we're learning to sculpt.

Wrote a very quick piece about facing fear of being on camera with twitch as part of my 30 days of streaming. We're on day 3. Going live in just about 30 minutes.

Also, for fun, let ChatGPT rewrite the piece and added it to the bottom of my article.

Stream Day 3 of 30 at 12EST. Might be a quick one and I'm going to actually try and do some research on jump animations before streaming this time to see if I can get it working.

Has to be short today because it's #MarioBrosMovie Day!

They should change the name of Twitter to "cornfield" because there are so many strawmen

Day 2 of 30 in the bags for my stream. Thanks to the couple people who actually showed up! That was awesome to see!

Come check out me struggle my way through remembering how to use pico8. Live starting now.

Morning! Stream today at 12est. Sticking with pico8 because it's been fun and streaming feels like a great excuse to do it.

Either going to add collision or maybe a little animation. Don't remember either so some trial and error and Nerdy Teacher tuts

Having some fun sketching

Also going to try and spend more time here ( for real this time )

Tag me in cool stuff so I come back more 🙂

In an attempt to get over a fear of being on camera, I'm going to stream daily for the next 30 days. I've done my first one today and will try and do it daily during my lunch break, though weekends hanging with my kids means it might not happen then!

If you have any interest watching someone code poorly, draw poorly, and banter then come check me out. :)

Microsoft missed a huge opportunity and should have named their AI "Bada" so you could say Bada Bing every time you use it.

How do you read code for the first time?

Cloud computing is amazing. Was a huge Stadia fan and now getting into GeForceNow from Nvidia.

@SkellySoft clever. I'd have to reorg all my apps though haha. Because I'm an alphabetical folder guy
