Since 2020, I've been running an online pumpkin carving festival each Halloween. It's a bit of a weird passion project of mine and I update it every year. 🎃

If that sounds cool to you, hop on the server on November 13th at 8PM EST to check out the creations this year and bid it farewell!

Download it on itch.io!

Mark Sparling made the soundtrack for A Short Hike! He made a really lush, charming, and calming soundtrack that really fit the mood of the game!

I couldn’t help myself and put some subtle parallax scrolling on my website: www.ashorthike.com

i made a bunch of different fish to catch! they’ll live in different areas of the island

a peaceful afternoon by the sea ~(˘▾˘~)

it’s much faster to go down the mountain, than up it :)

Here's a little trick I've been using to render the ocean in A Short Hike! The water is just a plane that follows the player around. The texture and vertex animations are all done in world space!

Sometimes you just wanna make a game where you climb up a big mountain and fly around it!!

So I did!

It’s coming out in just ONE WEEK on Itch.io and Steam! I've been working really hard on it so I hope y'all like it (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

A scene from the untitled paper RPG I’m working on. I haven’t posted here in a while (most of my activity has been on Twitter) and the game has changed a lot since then!
