Doodle Engine Doodle Engine is one of the projects I&apos;m most excited about right now. It&apos;s my way of revisiting the story-driven side of the Infinity Engine games (like Baldur&apos;s Gate or Planescape: Torment) that first got me into interactive storytelling, while also building something that&apos;s useful and fun to use. It&apos;s a TypeScript library for narrative games, with a dialogue and quest system I&apos;ve tried to keep approachable for both developers and writers. Music I&apos;ve also been spending more time on music again. It&apos;s been a while since I&apos;ve worked actively on a music project, but I&apos;ve been experimenting with new sounds and ideas, especially around Nordic folk music, nature-inspired themes, and some of the synth-heavy sounds I still really enjoy. I may share a track or two here in the future.</description><pubDate>Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
