rise and dice

I recently found out about the Micro Fiction Games Jam which, to quote its website, “it is intended to be a yearly game jam where people write and submit very short format games, on a theme, just for fun.” This year’s rules are Rule, Topple and Renew. I made this small game to play when I wake up. The Rules: Wake up Roll the dice (D6) If roll falls in the number of day of the week, sleep 5 more minutes Wait 24h and start again If Sunday (7), free pass, sleep 5 more minutes

On Death and Moving On

Ever since I was little I’ve had a very irrational fear of death. It is a concept and an act that I can’t seem to understand at all. What happens after? Do we still feel something? Where do we go?

Current Studio Setup

Last Updated: Nov 06, 2023 I am a software and game developer so I have tried to keep an updated enough rig that will allow me to work with 2D and 3D elements without issues, and to run the most current game engines. Apart from that, I am also really passionate about music. A few years ago I used to take it more seriously and tried getting gear to produce my own audio and music, but since my move to Colombia I’ve had to stick to the basics. A good enough mic, and my old timer audio interface. ...
