October 19, 2025. On the first day of the olive harvest in Turmus'ayyer, the Israeli Defense Force leads a group of farmers directly into a brutal ambush by armed settlers. These people need to be in prison by tomorrow, and the people of this village, and all across Palestine, need to be protected. Enough is enough.

Feather Trail is now listed on the Steam store, please take a minute to wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/app/2…
Identify real-world bird species through timing-based minigames while exploring an open world of pixel habitats.

I just launched a newsletter to help people understand the staggering cruelty of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, and how there is a direct line from here to the massacre in Gaza. Please subscribe and share I’ve nearly destroyed myself working on it!

A concept demo of Feather Trail is now available to play! This is an action RPG about birdwatching.

Feedback on the form in the demo's description is deeply appreciated and will help me understand priorities🙏

Hiked up a forest trail on Mingus Mountain today and got really great looks at a lifer Olive Warbler. A beautiful and interesting species— not a true wood-warbler but actually monotypic in its own family.

Saw seven moose while birding across Jackson County on Saturday, it was starting to feel ridiculous

Only shot I managed tonight of a black phase Red Fox that was sneaking along Clear Creek

The black-capped chickadee joins the flock for #screenshotsaturday! Fortunately no new code required for these guys to get them in; I can just set configuration for preferences between ground/tree/shrub/feeder.

Wrapping up the design for the inside of the gas station. The player will be able to buy a few simple things here to keep their energy up.

Scissor tailed flycatcher that I saw this morning while coming off my night shift! Literally just leaving the parking lot! Wow

Badger this morning hanging around our old ranch buildings exploring. In the Mojave Desert they dine on pocket gophers, rattlesnakes, and are particularly fond of cicada nymphs feeding on underground saltbush roots. Badgers dig them out. This one checked out the garage

I've tied my new storefront UI into the player dialogue flow to enable NPC shopkeepers. The first in-game shop will probably be the gas station, once I create an interior for it.

On this rainy #screenshotsaturday I've added the first consumable item! The player can drink a cup of coffee to boost "energy" at the cost of "serenity". I think this will lengthen their day but at the cost of harder birding minigames...
