Mina the Hollower is a top-down action-adventure game released on May 28, 2026. This game got on my radar and I could not put it down until I put dropped 60 hours beating it, LOL. I suggest this one if you like retro pixel games, and your SNES Zelda on difficult, LOL. #retropixel #videogames

I got to do a playtest through the latest iteration of Your Move Hero at @fourhorsemencomics.bsky.social, a 2 to 4 player dungeon racer. If things keep going this well, this title may be coming to Kickstarter before the end of the year! #indie #boardgame #gamedesign

SCAM ALERT: There are bootleg copies of Thirst being sold on the internet! BoardHorror.com has a dated version of the board game, without the final box or illustrations. Action is being taken but wanted to make all of our backers and supporters aware.

Well, it's official, I'm taking my first crack at illustrating a board game as well as designing it. Your Move Hero is a two to four player dungeon racer, and if you get hit by a trap or a monster, you have to go back to the beginning. #indie #boardgame #gamedesign #gameillustration

From the six-hour SSL crash on launch day (yes, thirstboardgame.com decided to take a nap right when the campaign woke up) to Meta and Instagram ad hiccups that made it feel like I was fighting the algorithm itself — it’s been an adventure!

Tabletopia wrote an article on Thirst called "Thirst - A Battle for Blood and Influence" at tabletopia.com/news/thirst. Love the support, but we still need all the help we can get as we are only 60% funded.
