Hello!

Thanks again for your support!

So, the current project right now with me working on it and kinda falling into the rabbit hole has turned from a more negative pov (who killed uis?) into a more positive one (why were uis good before in the first place?): this is not really out of anything if not only the fact that I think (and w...

[NEWS] Small break and what I am working on right now

Hey!

Thanks again so so much for your support.

After posting 3 videos in a row super close to one another, due to personal reasons I won't get in detail because they are not just personal but frankly quite boring and not that interesting I need to take a small break of around a month from working on videos.

I will be back as so...

The video is going to be about Korg M01 and Korg M10D for the DS and 3DS respectively, and how you can pretty effectively make music on them and export it to midi to...

The next video is going to be about Neighbours From Hell! A series of games that was kind of a core memory for me and a lot of people that I know irl and is a weird mix of puzzle and stealth mechanics in a 2D kinda slapstick environment. I have noticed that despite it being HUGE in Europe back in the early naughts a lot of people in the US or ev...
