2025 was about building the foundation. 2026 is about execution.
I am shifting my focus this coming year. While I have a background in various creative fields, my compass is now pointing strictly toward the gaming industry and digital assets. I want to share a brief overview of what you can expect from me in the coming months.
1. Steam & Streamer Assets
I am finalizing a pipeline to produce premium quality assets ready for games. My focus will be on curated content that is usable for developers and streamers. Expect collections that are ready to drop into your engine or OBS setup with minimal friction.
2. Music Licensing (Gumroad & Bandcamp)
Music has always been a core part of my creative DNA. In 2026 I will strictly be launching my library on Gumroad and Bandcamp. These won’t just be tracks; they will be tailored for use in media, games, and streaming.
3. Mastering the Market
Creating art is only half the battle. Understanding how to get it into the hands of people who need it is the other half. A major part of my blog this year will document my journey into SEO, Steam marketing strategies, and store optimization.
4. Articles & Insights
I am pivoting my writing to focus on the intersection of technology and human behavior. You can expect deep dives into marketing and the psychology behind what AI gives mankind. I will cover science, innovative ways to uncover the news, and overall advice to promote your games in a landscape that might be ruled by sophisticated algorithms.
5. Game Development
Games will be made, and Unreal Engine will be the tool of choice. I am currently developing a SHMUP title and a First Person Shooter among many other projects that will be revealed in due time. You can follow these specific endeavors at Mutant Shark Games.
6. Freelance Expansion
I will be expanding my efforts to create more assets across different platforms. Since marketplaces like Fiverr have become stagnant before I even arrived there, I am looking elsewhere to deliver value to clients who need specific digital goods.
