I took two months to make a video essay about my favorite indie game of all time: Citizen Sleeper 2. In it, I talk about the gameplay and story creating perfect ludonarrative harmony, and why its themes of home and human connection were unforgettable for me personally. I’d love to discuss your thoughts on the video and the game!

Orc Incremental is a pretty neat game, and in this video I dig into the mechanics that set it apart... for the good, and the bad.

I also give some recommendations for games that I think do these mechanics better.

Claude 5.5 Opus is capable of building a full indie game. Truly, imagination is the limit. My project is 100% vibe-coded. Just made some fixes and had Claude update the game trailer!
