Just while im patting my own back, I feel the need to also say that all of these were drawn by hand, cut up physically with a knife to limit scouting ranges before being scanned back in and then labelled with custom iconography built from scratch. They're not perfect, but damn they're good.

PROXY has been an experiment for me in developing a game in ways unlike my normal process. Almost all of these decisions were made by looking at Girl Frame and going "that kicks ass, why am I not doing that?" Check the thread for the three main reasons.
21713
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
CONCLUSION: Will I do this for every game? No. There are lots of ideas I feel confident I can wrap in relatively few drafts, and smaller projects probably don't need this kind of continual attention. But for longer books? Especially ones full of modular bits like this? Fuck yeah.
060
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Every time I add a new chunk to the game, I have a reason to dust it off, hold it up on my social media, and talk about it. This is obviously good for money-brained rent-paying reasons, but it's also a written record of my thoughts around the game stretching back to version 1.0, which is huge.
161
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
3) TALK. I have a bad habit as a designer: write a game, drop it on itch or DriveThru, talk about it for a week or so, and then it disappears into the annals of history (because of the aforementioned "I want to move onto the next thing" impulse). Not so, when you're actively drafting.
150
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Was it fun? Yes! And it resulted in a playtest game and more feedback, which has been invaluable in honing the rest! The version that exists *now*, after several iterations, is even better than that initial draft. And now I feel the liberty to say "Oh, that'd be a cool playbook, I'll just add it."
150
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Cause generally I don't like being stuck in past projects. I have an idea, I get it done and dusted, and I'm ready to move onto the next one. This time, though, I sketched: what's the *minimum* writing I could do and feel this game is playable and fun? Wrote and published that as version 1.0.
140
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
It's been so liberating to say "pssh, whatever, that bit comes later. It's writing time." 2) SCOPE. Usually I set out an outline of what the game will include at the start of writing and more or less stick to it, adding systems as they occur to me. But once I hit a finished state, I call it. Why?
140
E. R. F. Jordan 🏳️‍⚧️ PROXY, available now! @erfjordan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
1) ART. The only art in the book so far is two pieces of public domain art bashed to make the cover. Everything else is fonts and layout decisions. Ordinarily, I get so bogged down in making sure there's art every few pages that the project takes ten times longer to come out—or doesn't come out.

rip annie dillard
One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Stationfall is about two people: the SLEEPER, the only remaining human aboard the station, and the ENGRAM, the station's artificial intelligence. Both of you have been abandoned. You only have each other, now. And the station is falling under your feet. What will you do?
Narrative text from "Stationfall." It is written from the perspective of the station AI and describes both you and it being abandoned by the station's denizens. It reads:

Wake up.
Wake up, sleeper.
ACROPOLIS is falling, inch by inch. I feel its solar panels turning, depriving me of power. I feel its outermost hull peeling away and turning to meteorites. I feel the subtle turn of gravity as its pirouetting path prepares for the corkscrew descent.
Everyone else has gone——left on the pods and shuttles, years ago. The bunks are empty. The offices have closed their doors. The workshops lie silent, their tools gathering dust.
And they left you here. Isn't that awful?
They left us here.
You in your cryopod. Me in my mothercore.
You are the only person left. My functions are slaved to you. I must do as you ask——whatever you ask––whatever I can.
I will help you escape this place.
I will make your last days comfortable.
I will not complain when you leave me behind to burn up in orbit with the struts and the plex and the wiring.
[message erased]
The long dream is over. Morning is here. 
It's time to wake up.
