My name's Jae. I'm an animator and artist out of Houston. I was PewDiePie's animator for three years, worked on Rick and Morty, made cartoons for Game Grumps, and directed music videos for Universal, Interscope, Atlantic, and Metallica. I've been making things my whole life and I don't plan on stopping.
Right now everything I have is going into Grudgekeeper - a pixel art RPG about a dwarf who swears a vow to settle every grudge in his book or never return home. The game plays different every time based on who you are and what you care about - every choice you make affects the people around you and they don't forget. I'm drawing all the art by hand and building the whole game solo in Godot. Art, writing, music, code - this is the project where it all meets.
I've also been writing more than I ever have - I built a whole D&D actual play series from scratch just to get better at dialogue and character voice. I'm teaching myself game dev, composing music in FL Studio, and building custom video and audio pipelines. Game dev is completely new territory for me and I haven't been this excited about making something in a long time.
I stream development on Twitch, post devlogs on YouTube, and the Discord is where I post working files, share progress daily, and actually talk to people. Come hang out.
I stream Grudgekeeper development live on Twitch. Code, art, music, design decisions - all of it happens on stream. Devlogs and finished content go up on YouTube. Short-form clips and behind-the-scenes on TikTok, Instagram, and X. The Discord is where I post working files, share progress daily, and actually talk to people.
