Criminally enough, I've been posting new artwork on social media but not on MINDistortion itself. So to set things right, I've added two new galleries for the artwork I've been posting over the last few months: Charcoal II and Strange Figments.
I will add future artwork in batches; meanwhile if you want to catch my drawings as I post them, you can follow @MINDistortionTV on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
Exactly two decades ago a little Flash website got uploaded to whatever free webspace was available at the time, showcasing whatever my angsty teen mind had come up with, created with what was then considered cutting edge technology.
Fast forward and Flash has come and gone but MINDistortion stuck around, so to celebrate its 20th birthday I've integrated the Ruffle Flash Player emulator. While it won't make my old games mobile friendly and support for some of my "newer" games is still pending, it does bring back such classics like MindScape, Bubbles 2, Zombie Squirrel Attack and Pocket Emo.
So close your flip phone, stop searching for that hot new WinAmp skin and kick back with some Flash Game nostalgia!
The last few months gave me the opportunity for introversion and trying my hand at making music. So here's my very first video featuring music of my own:
of the void – On the sweet nothing that is our home.
Don't worry, I'm not singing.
(music also available on Spotify and other platforms)
So this is it, by the end of this year the Flash plugin will officially have drawn its last breath. The good news is though that I have finally taken it upon myself to convert all of my remaining old movies to mp4 and webm video. This means they are once again easily available and will remain so for the foreseeable future. All the good, bad and ugly of almost 20 years of animation. Well, 10 years, if you subtract my years of inactivity. As far as the games are concerned... I'm not quite sure yet how to keep those accessible but I'll have a look at some of the few available options. See you around!
So this is it. I redesigned and rewrote MINDistortion from the ground up, dropped some of the older sections and moved away from ye good olde flash interface. I'm not gonna lie, I'll miss the old flash website a little bit, alas time moves on and so must we. Does this mean I'll once again create new content on a regular basis? Nah. Well, maybe. Depending on how you define "regular". I've got a little something in the works that I've been working on and off for a ridiculously long time by now. Hopefully I can share it with you in a couple of weeks or months or decades. After that, who knows? The sky's the limit! That, and you know, stuff.
The Bi-Yearly MINDistortion Update is here! Well not really, but I made a comissioned animated short that i'd like to share with you: In-House Server vs Cloud Computing
