I am excited about this new project. I needed a win—some coding and creative project that I could realistically finish and execute and share with people online. You patrons and my ko-fi supporters will be the first to test it in alpha if you want.

I may be closing this campaign down soon to try and streamline my online presence and interactions. To that end, if you would sti...

It's a well-known fact that syndicalists are generally powered by agitation and caffeine. The workers of Syndical Crossing will certainly need ways to consume coffee and tea, so let's model those assets in 3ds max.

Just saw that a few new faces have started supporting this patreon. Thank you very much.
Organizing is ramping up significantly in my area and due to economic factors I have taken on a number of odd jobs, so both of those are asking for my time.
However, I am sneaking hours every week to continue development of
I got my day/night cycle working over the weekend. Since the game is intended to take place in one specific region of the game world, I need to decide what real-world timezone to adopt in order to keep things consistent.

I wanted to share this with all of you first to get some feedback before I posted it anywhere else.
I get asked now and then why someone should join the IWW as opposed to any of the respected business unions available. My industry is generally not unionised, so there's that reason, but this is the real, deeper reason. T...

Mythic tales often portray superhuman heroes who can do everything themselves. Leave that sort of thing to the fairy tales. Organizing is done collectively, supporting one another and running our campaigns democratically. Never organize alone. There is power in a union.

A 1-on-1 is not idle chit chat. It is a conversation with a purpose—to agitate, educate and inoculate a fellow worker. Adding alcohol to the mix will never help your cause.

Organizing Don'ts #3 [a little black cat says: Don't have one on ones over alcohol.]
1-on-1s
In the beginning, cat-kind was ruled by a seemingly endless parade of selfish monarchs who wielded godlike power over the masses. They were unaccountable, unelected and uninterested in the plight of the commoners under their control. They raised armies, fought wars, tortured, enslaved and colonised all the world, forming gran...

Syndical Crossing is meant to be a cute, fun critique of the extractive capitalist tendencies of the better-known game to which it pays homage.

2020-10-26 20:21:33 +0000 UTC View PostI'm a mess of conflicting motivations these days, fellow workers. I have so many creative projects all floating in a state of limbo, and of course I have been dreaming of another.
I was wondering last night while trying to fall asleep, what would a game called Syndical Crossing be like? What gameplay would be fun and al...

Hello, fellow workers. I am taking a bit of a risk and spending more of my work day drawing these little comics. It brings me joy and I am wondering if it feasible for me to earn more funds through this patreon thing. We shall see. What do you think of this different style for these shorter comics?

As much as I hate my job, I must recognize how fortunate I am to be employed at all during the pandemic. I am fortunate that I am not put in physical danger every time I clock in. Still, it has been said that the...
2020-07-01 20:11:42 +0000 UTC View PostI forced myself to take a break to work on the lightweight dynamics engine I've been tinkering with. I am very pleased with how the refactoring has gone.
First versions relied on individual actors to predict and resolve their own collisions. This proved to be very unstable and resulted in a lot of interpenetration.

If you are unable to participate directly, know that there is so much you can do to help that does not involve marching. Marching is important, but so is providing support.
