Had to pick up some *big* frogs for Magfest this weekend! Don't forget to follow the Kickstarter when we go live in March for Lily Hop! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

Blender has been a wild journey y'all but I think I'm getting the hang of it and I'm really happy it's on my toolbelt of things I'm sorta kinda okay at. If you're doing the indie publishing thing, it might be worth giving it a run if you need to make a few more cool images to showcase your stuff.

Lily Hop is a "ribbiting" good time for 2-4 frogs with over 40 different custom lily pads and wild effects! Hum a little frog song 🎶, swim with sea otters 🦦, or get stuck in a long conversation with a chatty but friendly snail 🐌.

Getting accustomed to Blender to make some fun li'l layouts for Lily Hop! It took a while to get used to this but really liking the results so far.

@candicorn.bsky.social has done a few board game illustrations and is pretty great!

In Lily Hop, frogs will move around circles of lily pads trying to collect flies. If you're not in a circle with flies though, you'll have to find a way over! These frogs definitely aren't eating these flies . . . right?

Something I've enjoyed doing in Lily Hop is coming up characters and creatures you'll interact with while your frogs hop around lily pads. Some are creatures from real life like the Catfish 🐱🐟. Others are completely fictional like Swamp Witch 🧙‍♀️. And some are somewhere in between like Big Toad 🐸.

Is it hop time or nap time? 🐸😴

A bunch of frogs hop into your hand, what do you do?

In Lily Hop, even though you're frogs, you *definitely* don't eat flies, you just collect 'em! What do you think this cool guy is listening to? Also be sure to follow along the Kickstarter, which is going live in March. We're almost ready to hop in! 🐸 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

I'm the publisher behind Coo' Games! I've been working on a cute and thinky game about frogs called Lily Hop. 🐸 One of my favorite games is Shamans, a hidden role trick taking game. 🔮 My dog Yeti brings me a lot of joy. He's a sleepy greyhound. 🐶

Been working on a new game called Hollow. It's a multi-goal, multivictor game of tough choices, dark desires, and hollowing moments. It's chock-full of amazing illustrations by @candicorn.bsky.social! Wanna playtest it? Come on by the Coo' Games server: discord.gg/J7t4rZdFCd

Someone in Break My Game was asking about game design documents recently . . . did I do this right?

Okay but what if Lily Hop was a game ready to be published and was coming to crowdfunding soon?

We'll be playtesting Lily Hop at PAXU's Unpub this weekend! Find us Saturday 10:30-1:30 and 2-5 as we hop some frogs around and catch flies. We're launching the Kickstarter in Spring, so this is a great opportunity to check out the game in-person!
