Apparently the cure for too many projects was giving them all the same address. I wrote about why Starhound Studio builds games, fiction, music, strange machines and why I stopped pretending they’re unrelated. Building Too Much, On Purpose. 🐾

INDIE DEVS! Let's do this right! If you would like constructive feedback and want me to review your games, please share, it would be my pleasure! I can share 2 points of view, commercial side, and personal opinion! I'll make a video on the commercial-ready ones as well.

The projects were never the whole project. Somewhere along the way, I started building the workshop they could all come out of.

What’s something you started building before you knew whether it was actually possible?

Dr. Wiener von Braum has been thinking again. This is generally how the trouble starts. New character animation for Wiener Defense. Still building. Still ridiculous. 🐾

A good result is not the end of an experiment. It is the beginning of an interrogation. Break the assumptions. Attack the controls. Remove every convenient explanation. If the result survives, now it has earned your attention.

Unfortunately, morale has improved. We’re looking into it. 🐾

AI is getting very good at answering questions. But discovery often begins somewhere else: noticing the tiny residual everyone else discarded, and asking why the hell it’s there. Variance ≠ importance. — Starhound Studio

I made a dachshund tower-defense game as a joke. Then I made the mistake of taking it seriously. THE JOKE IS THE DOORWAY On absurd ideas, discipline, and what happens when you keep asking the next question. Apparently, eventually, there are rockets.

99.7% of the variance lived in one direction. 0.0002547% helped decide what happened next. That bothered me enough to spend several experimental rounds trying to kill the result. I haven’t succeeded yet. Variance Is Not Importance.

I finally put a camera on Sodalis. Same fixed geometric reference space. Three different inputs: a surreal poem, a mathematical proof, and an editing task. The colors aren't generated artwork, they're density fields from the semantic reference geometry. The lines show the local neighborhood being recruited around each input. I wanted to see what the machine was doing. Turns out it photographs rather well.
