VID CARD = RIP

2 min read
Soooo last night my video card decided it needed to LITERALLY EXPLODE...

I was playing a game and I believe one of the capacitors burst, there was a pop, flickering, and burnt electronics smell. (note this is stock settings, I never OC or anything) After a bit of panic and inspecting every last thing in my PC I found a burn hole in the back of the video card, that's super dead at the moment. So right now I'm a bit without a computer (and therefor a job) till I figure something out so I might be a little quiet over on this side of the internet for a bit.

I'm working on salvaging things today, I have a support ticket in with EVGA (vid card manufacturer) though I'm not sure if I'm in or outside of warranty at this point as the card is like 2 1/2 years old. But that's WAY too soon to have something like that happen! I might have a usable donor card from an old PC so I can at least get back to work, but that's part of today's testing. Also I might be looking for more commissions soon to fun a new card.

Either way, wish me luck!
Love you all,
Wayne

Hey friends!

I know it's been a bit but I've been super nose down on getting stuff together for the Kickstarter for Lore Finder, a cosmic horror metroidvania.

But the Kickstarter is LIVE NOW, YAY!!!

If you're curious about it hop on over and try out the demo, consider spreading the word, or if you're super into it maybe consider backing it? <3
Either way I hope you can enjoy the demo and I hope you all are doing well!!!

Hey friends!
How has everybody been this past month? Ready for spring?

Sorry it's been a little quiet on my posting-stuff end, I've been pretty mired in getting as much work as I can done, catching up on some things, and trying to get some life under control. The good news is projects are still going well & I'm back working on Bruis'n Cruisers at least one day a week.

With that, finally having something non-NDA I can stream again! Minus this upcoming week I stream pixel art & some other minor gamedev stuff every Tuesday from 11:30am-3pm EST over on twitch.tv/wanyodos . I try my best to run a chill stream where I jam some old game tunes, do some pixels & either talk shop or whatever's on everyone's mind so if you're looking for a good workday lurk maybe it's your jam! <3

Speaking of next Tuesday, I'm heading out to Boston, MA for the Penny Arcade Expo so if you're in the area or are planning on being there...hit me up! I'd love to say hi in person! Furthering that thought & speaking back on Bruis'n Cruisers, we're going to be showing a demo off the Wednesday evening before PAX at Playcrafting's PAX East Pregamer party which happens to be at the Laugh which is connected to the convention center/hotel. If all the stars align, where you're coming, going to be there early, AND happen to want to play some great indie games in production (I know, a bunch of my talented friends are showing some games off too!), register over on eventbrite, it's free (but free things tend to sell out so why not, right?)


Finally I've been rocking on some more of my hanging commissions lately trying to shore up my always-too-busy schedule so hopefully I'll both have some more fun to show off & perhaps even be more open for some more in the near-ish future!

Random fun question for ya'll, what's your favorite video game box art and what's special about it to you?

As always stay wonderful friends & I hope to hear for you soon!
<3 Wayne

February Update

2 min read
Hey all, it's been a little bit since I've done a little update so here we gooo!!

As you've all seen I've been super busy with all sorts of pixel commissions, but I've also been crammed full of game work. I have 3-4 game projects going on right now, a couple of which are currently NDA work.

However the other two I have going on:
Bruis'n Cruisers - A top-down GBC styled car combat game about creating the perfect sandwich only to have some jerkwad steal it and take off with it. We don't currently have an official website for it but we have a page up on our company site: neondeity.com/post/15521220778…

Bravely Bound - A fantasy themed freeware lesbian episodic RPG in the style of games like Golden Sun. I'm working on this with my friend Eniko on this awesome project & we're currently looking for funding so we can keep it free.
Look at the nice website for it: bravelybound.com

Other than games I've done a little convention hopping, late last year we showed Bruis'n Cruisers off at the Bit Bazaar in Toronto and following this I hung out at MAGFest in January. This upcoming April I'll also be at PAX East in Boston, MA if anyone's going and wants to say hi!

What have ya'll been up to? I hope you're all doing well! <3
