I'm so excited to announce the release of my indie game studio Neo Arcade's first game Unknown Space for Android and iOS.

We built this game with strong ethical principles and I hope you enjoy it ✨

I started streaming and voicing the characters in Undertale recently after being recommended it by friends and I’m absolutely loving it! I somehow managed to avoid too many spoilers for the game over the years so this is essentially a blind run.

I’m keen to stream some more of the game in the new year, happy holidays all and hope to catch you then! 🎄 Follow over at https://www.twitch.tv/Oaty for updates when I’m next live.

I'm excited to be taking part in the Great Games Done Slow charity event fundraiser for CheckPoint’s wonderful mental health support programs. The event is running the coming week (Running September 15-21, 2018) and I’ll be streaming voicing characters in relaxing games on my Twitch channel for it during my usual times: https://www.twitch.tv/Oaty

Great Games Done Slow is a 7-day fundraising event raising money for mental health charity CheckPoint. Streamers, friends and content creators from all over the world will come together to show how games can be used for positive wellbeing. More info: https://greatgamesdoneslow.com/

CheckPoint is a charity that connects mental health resources with video games and technology. Their mission is to raise awareness of mental health issues, help those in need, and to reduce stigma. More info and support resources at: https://checkpoint.org.au/

I tried out an experimental stream last night where I voiced a D&D solo adventure for my wily Tabaxi rogue Dust in The Wind. It was a lot of fun to narrate the story with some impromptu characters to spice things up.

The VOD also includes a bit of an intro to D&D for if you've never played it before.

I’ll be hopefully streaming some more of the story this evening (AEST 2018-07-19).

I first came across this poem by Robert Frost in a high-school English class. My teacher often encouraged us to perform poetry aloud and study them as a group. The idea of taking the road less traveled stuck with me and has lead me down some interesting pathways in life.

Transcript:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I've been streaming a few games lately to practice voicing characters and have been having a blast!

I'm presently playing through Owlboy by @dpadstudio​ and am loving it! The aesthetic and themes are spot on.

“Bug? I told you a thousand times not to call me that! I'm a wandering artist. The name's Issun!“

A few weeks ago I wrapped up playing through Okami HD on my Twitch stream, it was lovely to return back to that cast of characters again. I had played the original game back on the PS2 and had fond memories of it.

Starting things off with some voice practice for a D&D Tabaxi Rogue I came up with after browsing the Volo’s Guide to Monsters D&D supplement. Her name is Dust (Short for Dust in the Wind) and she hails from The Watching Cliff Clan. Dust compulsively ‘obtains’ interesting objects that take her fancy, often drawing a harsh response from the city guards. I referenced the Khajit voices from Skyrim to help me put together the accent and aimed for a playful yet practical vibe. My voice isn’t naturally raspy, so it took me a while to find a part of my range where I could roll the sounds without ending up with a sore throat.
