Unity vs Unreal Fees - When does it matter?

Good distributed tools will create systems that work together to abstract the under-the-hood stuff.

Bad distributed tools will create dependencies that can be monetized.

I like to build experiences for people—stories, games, music, art, software, tools, etc.

Writing & Editing

I was also the technical reviewer for Nginx Cookbook and Nginx Essentials, both published by PacktPub.

Music composition

Games

Voice Acting

I mainly read for sci-fi and fantasy villains. Here are some samples for a Star Wars cartoon that was cancelled, and all the audio for a game trailer currently in development (I did all the voices).

Open-source software & games

(Closed Beta) Submission Bee is a submission management system for independent publishers who accept stories and articles from authors via an online form. Reach out to me at @jesse@indieweb.social for a beta code if you're interested.
(Planning) [Project Songbird] (name pending) is a storefront and subscription management system for independent publishers. Focus is on providing a community-oriented alternative to Amazon's bookselling and magazine subscription sevices. Reach out on Mastodon (@jesse@indieweb.social) if you're interested in collaborating.
(Prototyping) Talefabric is a storytelling engine that lets you tell interactive D20-based stories and publish them as mobile apps. See a demo.
Existence Simulator is a relaxing (?) clicker game you can play in your browser. Play online or tinker with the source code.
Campfire is a proof-of-concept compiler written in Rust that allows you to turn your ideas into interactive, dynamic web content. Tinker with the source code & demo.
