  • Crude Oil featured at the New Museum in NYC! - 9 June 2026

    Crude Oil is finished and it is playable in full for the first time, at the New Museum in Manhattan! It's part of the group show TOTAL FLOW, that runs June 3-10. They loaned me this incredible CRT security monitor (impossible to photograph) to play it on, and helped fabricate a big black blob around it. You can sit on it, it's comfortable! Huge thanks to NEW INC and the New Museum for believing in my story about a blob of oil resisting the pipeline of production.The Steam release is imminent! 🛢️ xo

  • TGS and Updated Demo! - 17 September 2025

    Hello everyone, This week is a very exciting one for me, as I’m getting ready to travel to Tokyo to show the Crude Oil demo at the Tokyo Game Show! Don’t worry if you’re not going to be there, you can try the demo wherever you may be, just hit the button to download and experience the world as a glob of petroleum. If you’d like to be the first to know about future playtests for the game you can join us on discord, or if you’d prefer to wait until the full launch please give the game a wishlist and a follow. I would really appreciate it!
