I Did A Game Jam
I recently did my first game jam and this podcast is away for me to just kinda talk about it and sort my feelings. You too can get involved in a game jam by checking itch.io out and also scoping out the many resources available there and around the internet. For the jam, I used GDevelop, LDtk, Aseprite and Tiled to get work done as well as used Creative Commons music and sound effects found on opengameart.org Hey there! Welcome to Combo Breaker! A one two punch of enthusiasm! A little about me, I'm Cole and I love exploring my personal nostalgia as well as the collective cultural conscious when it comes to our past and pop culture. I love video games from the 80s and 90s, the Thundercats TV show, and the aesthetics of Miami Subs. I'm here to share positivity and enthusiasm for various forms of media.

Camper Van
This time around I'm talking about one of the large projects I've started and how we ended up here. We recently got a 12 person passenger van and are in the process of gutting and rebuilding the interior. It may not be traditionally "retro" inspired like many things I talk about, but it kinda is for a camping/adventuring lifestyle I've never had. Retro cabin van...and don't you think for a second I won't try to figure out a way to play SNES games in this adventure mobile. haha Hey there! Welcome to Combo Breaker!
