"Cafe" is a Celeste Classic mod that I've been slowly scratching at for the past few years. It features a handful of new mechanics, as well as new artwork and music. It's sometimes confusing and usually a little too hard.

Play it on itch.io:

(Newgrounds doesn't allow mods to be uploaded to the games portal)

If you haven't played Celeste Classic before, you might wanna brush up on it before attempting my mod:

I participated in Ludum Dare 52 this weekend!

I made the game Strange Garden for the jam's 48-hour compo category. It's a puzzle game where you farm crops and feed them to a demon. Different crops only grow under special conditions, so you need to plan out your garden carefully.

This is the fifth game I've submitted for the LD compo, and I think it's my best project for the jam so far- even making it onto Newgrounds' daily picks!

I also made some contributions to my friend Retrisma's game FleshShot Plus- I worked on animation for the main character, enemies, as well as some miscellaneous FX/Collectibles work. It's a shoot-em-up/tower-defense game where you try not to get killed by hordes of geometric shapes.

It's a fun Ludum Dare entry, made all the better by its handsome protagonist. Feel free to check it out:

Wow, it's 2022!

I feel like I agonize too often about how much I procrastinate or abandon projects- I had several animation projects planned for this year, and I only finished one- but it's nice to look at the list of posts I've made in 2021 and see that I have made a lot of progress as an artist since 2020. I hope in 2022 I can continue to look back and feel the same way.

In celebration of the new year, I'm releasing all the audio I've published in 2021 (and 2020) as an album on Bandcamp: Squeaks '21. The album is available for free, and the tracks are all still under an Attribution license, so you can use them for anything so long as you credit me- I'm mostly releasing it as a way to easily download all my recent music at once. Also an excuse to make this fun album art:

Or you can just listen to my music on my NG page either way works I guess
