It's baffling to me that we've come to the point where there's enough fanart of not just my game, but me specifically that I've been able to make this awkward collage of beautiful art as a twitter banner.

If you liked my new EP "The Enigma of Heaven and Other Daily Delusions" I recommend taking a listen to some of World's End Girlfriend's music. Very inspirational and formative for me. Hurtbreak Wonderland is my favorite, and it's free at the moment.
Kept putting off making the last song for The Enigma of Heaven and Other Daily Delusions but I finally did it and the EP is done, so it's coming out tomorrow as promised.
Youtube premiere at 6PM UTC / 10AM PST, Bandcamp release after the premiere is over. It's 17 minutes long.
This is what happens when you get your knowledge of philosophy purely through memes instead of actually reading any primary texts. Philosophy aint easy to read but it's worth the effort to at least check a summary or even a wikipedia article. You'd be surprised!
Camus: "Sisyphus is happy, because he takes joy in the simple act of rebelling against the absurd, the logic and reason. He knows he can never win, and in fighting anyway, he is exerting his power and free will."
Someone on TikTok: "It's about grindset, actually."
Jokes aside I'm very happy to have had the best 5 years of my life and hope to continue increasing that number until the day I die a happy (and tired) man
As of today, it has been exactly 5 years since ULTRAKILL started development!
To commemorate, we've made a little montage of early development footage.

Reminder that I have a new electronic music EP titled "The Enigma of Heaven and Other Daily Delusions" coming out on Friday, about christianity, mundane divinity and paranoid schizophrenia in the information age.
Here's a clip from the second song, "The Hierarchy of Equality".
Played some of that new-fangled Hi-Fi Rush game. Took me a bit to get used to it, especially with how cutscene heavy the first leg is, but I got into it after a bit. I usually don't care for rhythm game fusions but this keeps both sides of the equation very simple and it works.
I got flashbanged by this tweet because I forgot that some people skip songs when listening to albums, and not only that, but some people do it so much that they can even skip a song on an album they consider perfect.
I'd already listened to a studio album from them and while I loved the compositions, something felt missing. Luckily this live album fixes that, as while its performances are just as precise, the sound is punchier and more engaging.
Last but not least we have the grand finale: Live at Carnegie Hall by Renaissance, a progressive rock live recording from the 70’s. Lush orchestra with classical-inspired compositions and lots of theaterics and drama.
One of the big things it has going for it is that it's reaching a moviegoing audience rather than an online video audience that's familiar with the usual workings of analogue horror, so for a lot of people it's completely unlike anything they've seen before, which is great!
It's clearly extremely low budget which is no surprise and mostly does a good job hiding that but there's some iffy sound design (mainly the footsteps) and occasionally some pretty amateur photoshop work, but I got used to the former and I found the latter charming.
Skinamarink is a feature length analogue horror video and has all the positives and negatives that that would imply. It's a very mixed bag and if you've watched a bunch of analogue horror you'll recognise a lot of tropes and cliches, but when it's good it's REALLY good.
There isn't much here in the way of traditional music, though there's occasional backing ambient tracks peppered throughout. It also ends with a more conventional song, but I felt that part was pretty weak and feels comparatively cheap and cheesy.
