A small interactive fiction made with Twine I made a small project to learn how to use Twine. It’s just a short interactive fiction, nothing major or incredible about it. Twine is cool and very easy to use, especially if you use the Chapbook format and just want to write. But embedding the image at the start and making it …

New ambient EP
After a long while, I released two new ambient songs in a new EP. You can listen to it now on bandcamp, link below, and in a week or so it should hit all the streaming services and YouTube. A Day in the Life of by lokeloski
How long does it take to translate a video game?

Seriously, I’ve never thought I would see the day an Atlus game would be translated into Brazilian Portuguese, much less with my involvement. As a long-time fan, I couldn’t even …
Random nostalgia-inducing things
Whenever I listen to AC/DC, I instantly remember of Neverwinter Nights. It’s kinda weird, but it kinda makes sense: I bought my NwN’s hard box copy (which I still have) and a CD version of Back in Black together, in the same place. (It was in a hypermarket.) When NwN was being installed, Back in Black was playing on my …
