Our current project is a tamagotchi-inspired mobile game about a space cat.
The game combines creature-care mechanics with deeper simulation systems focused on nutrition, wellbeing, and neurobiology.
A cozy pet care game with a slightly obsessive scientific core.💜✨
In my work, I often explore questions of embodiment, sexuality, the biological limitations of the body, and the frameworks imposed on us by both our physical existence and social conditioning.
If any hobbyists using AI to make anything, whether it's software, gamedev, art, or anything else, with ComfyUI or any other tools, would like a Discord community space where other AI enthusiasts, creatives, and engineers can discuss, collaborate, and motivate each other, DM me. My wife and I would love to connect and build a group where we can share what we're working on, share cool workflows and models we find, help each other troubleshoot issues, strategize and brainstorm, and encourage one another to continue developing their ideas.
Last week, I started building a little tool with Claude Code to assist me with my research and writing process.
Built on Python, tkinter, LibSQL, spaCy, NetworkX, matplotlib, llama-cpp-python, and other libraries (which grows in variety every day), it allows me to upload text files and PDFs containing text which it then converts into a searchable database of words and motifs that have been tagged with semantically relevant context. It can also visualize the database as a graph as another means of exploring the text.
Right now the UI is very clunky and rather inept, and I'm still experimenting with different libraries. However, I have a long list of features I want to add to it. The goal is to create a digital home library software, which I'm making for myself, but I'll eventually release it for others to use as well. It will be a local-first, AI-embedded tool for writers of all kinds.
What I'm on the fence about is whether I should strive to make the tool as widely accessible as possible, or if I should go all-in with local embedded AI. If I went the latter route, then I'd probably build it strictly for users with newer NVIDIA GPUs, with some exclusive features for Linux users. I have to think about it some more.

This #caturday work on our cat mobile game continues!
This time, hand-drawn frames brought to life through WAN Video 2.2 using a ComfyUI workflow by GegenDenTag that we modified.
It's amazing to see your characters start moving on their own.

Countless hours of selection, sculpting, painting, and refinement. Countless iterations.
Every day my horses get closer to my ideal. 😌
And I suffered greatly to make this almost seamless animation. Please give me a cookie. 😄

I'm a hybrid artist. My practice spans traditional sculpture and painting, digital sculpting and 3D modeling, and extends into machine learning.
I train custom diffusion models on my own work and treat generative systems as part of the creative process.
I saw them in one of my past dreams, or maybe in one of my past lives.
It was strange: I knew who they were, but I couldn’t remember their face.
But it reminded me that there are humans, overhumans, and transhumans.
