The Jcodes Dev Blog

A nerd blog. A journey.

What to expect.

Welcome to my developer blog! I'll be working on a wide range of blog topics. Everything from opinion pieces to hardware tech reviews, to some of the project related tips and tricks that I've discovered along the way. Make sure to come and join me on Mastodon, and we should totally connect on LinkedIn also!

I can tell you are already intrigued. I have a sense about this kind of thing. It's okay, I get it. I have a magnetism. Don't fight it. I have a bunch of work posted over at my portfolio that you can check out if you'd like to dig deeper. Go check it out and let me know what you think! Let's connect on Github too!

In another edition of "should've played it when it came out" I dive into Little Nightmares. The dark puzzle adventure game from Bandai Namco released in 2017. And I'll go ahead and warn you now - I gush on this game. HARD. So get your woobie, get your apple juice, and turn on that super mario nightlight, it's time dive into Little Nightmares!

Somerville 2025

Another game in my 2025 series! This time we dive into Somerville, the 2022 debut game from Jumpship that focuses on a father trying to find his family during a world ending event. This action-puzzler pits us against aliens and lets me pet my dog whenever I want. So a game that should have taken me 4 hours took more like 8. You know, because scritchers. Let's go!

I keep playing games in 2025 that I should have played when they came out. Armed with a new graphics card that I recklessly flashed to make think its beefier than it is, I tackle the survival-horror game Alien Isolation that originally released in 2014. So grab your motion trackers and warm up your screaming voice - it's GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!
