I just made the most meaningful $5 of my career with the first sale of #BricksOverBlocks! Our indie studio, WalterNet Games, is fully independent, no publishers or investors, and that $5 proves we're on our way. This is only the beginning! #indiegames #gamedesign

Just two days ago, we dropped our first major update for Bricks Over Blocks! And the response has been incredible! We’ve jumped from 20,000 to nearly 60,000 owners in just two days! 🤯 If you haven’t grabbed it yet, now’s your chance! 🔥 #indiegameDev #indiegame

I had a fantastic time sharing some of the insights and experiences I've gained over the years with @UNTEsports I don’t often get the chance to talk about the streaming side of my life, so this was a rare treat! @UNTnews #gamestreaming #twitchstreamer #eSports #youtubegaming

2 weeks into our 6-week production, and we’re making progress! After lots of iteration, we’ve locked in our main character concept, helping streamline animation & keep us on track for launch. #IndieGameDev #GameArt #WorkInProgress #WalterNetGames

🎮 Can't wait to share more about the indie game studio we’re building! This month has been a whirlwind of things coming together in some pretty amazing ways. There’s so much I want to spill, but I’ll keep the details under wraps for just a bit longer. 😉 Stay tuned!

I will be streaming some SMM2 and indie games bright and early tomorrow. The indie game de jour will be "Photogeist Albums: CASE 0" being worked on by one of my favorite UofU former students Cory Haltinner As always the stream will be very demure and very mindful!
