I wrote a postmortem for Gender Dysphoria talking about my experience using a pay-what-you-want model for a game on itch. https://exodrifter.itch.io/gender-dysphoria/devlog/300006/pay-what-you-want-sales-and-analytics #gamedev

This happened a few days ago to me, but what the heck #unity3d?

I wrote a retrospective on the cancelled game Access, which I worked on for about four years.

As a Khmer person, hearing about this book on the radio last night was a little surreal and striking for me. https://www.npr.org/2021/08/01/1021415438/afterparties-anthony-veasna-so-cambodian-american

Small update for my skeletons. Most notably, after roughly 4 years of development I have decided to cancel Access. Retrospective coming soon. https://www.patreon.com/posts/switching-gears-54329176 #gamedev

I finally finished cutting all the character VO for Gender Dysphoria today. Mental health sure is rough - u - ;;;

Also, I made a new track during my stream last night~

All these things are related to who I am as a person, and I feel like I have a lot of work ahead of me to both preserve these records for the future as well as to really understand what has been recorded before I can really make this game in earnest... Well, it will take a while.

My sister will be bringing those cassette tapes from my parent's home so I can digitize them. Suddenly, I feel like there are so many things that I need to digitize before they are lost. Photos, slides, etc. It's a glimpse into a past that has affected who I am and I need to know

One (perhaps seemingly unrelated) thing are the old cassette tapes that I used to listen to in the car as a kid. They're full of Cambodian music that is both beautifully nostalgic to me as well as mysterious. I don't know how my parents got them. I don't know who the artists are.

I recently began to feel that I should make a game to explore my sense of self and connection with other people. I feel that I don't really talk much about myself, and I want to make this to express myself and share how I feel with other people in a way I can't do through tweets.

if you're wondering: no, i have not been able to make a nice sound with fm synthesis yet despite maybe understanding it a little better after a few hours of research.

my night tonight: what the heck is fm synthesis and how do i use it to make a sound

My game Gender Dysphoria is available in Queer Games Bundle 2021 \o/ https://itch.io/b/861/queer-games-bundle-2021
