Haven't posted in over a year so posting to say, if you reach out to me on here, please try contacting me another way. I check infrequently. That being said, I will try to check more frequently.

Tomorrow's the day! Cascadia Junior will be available in stores and online March 14. I'm excited to be a part of my first "kid's game" and incredibly happy with the work @fertessa.bsky.social and I did along with the @flatoutgames.bsky.social CoLab. @alderaceg.bsky.social @fanfactories.bsky.social

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Cascadia Junior has been announced and will be in stores next Spring! I had fun designing this one with @fertessa.bsky.social. Designing a game for kids was oddly both familiar and more difficult. I do believe we captured the core of Cascadia for a younger audience. @flatoutgames.bsky.social

Yeah I think this is the exact problem happening, but I maybe might have something to try now. Fingers crossed!

Fertessa @fertessa.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
This makes sense, but I'm not sure it's an option for my game. Imagine a grid and a bunch of polyominos. The AP is coming from the placement configuration, but I can't hide it. Hmmm or...can I... I might have an idea actually- thank you!

Fertessa @fertessa.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
Not easy at all, but looks like I'll have to do it if my game is going to grow. Thanks for sharing your thoughts😁

Fertessa @fertessa.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
The problem is I made a sandbox game, and choice is currently the core. I need to figure out how to limit that while allowing the choice to still be fun somehow😩

Fertessa @fertessa.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
All valid points. I'll take this into consideration as well, thank you!

Fertessa @fertessa.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
I'll have to think hard about whether simultaneous action can be taken in my game, but I think it could be really interesting if I could make that happen. Thank you!

Fertessa @fertessa.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
Hmmm I really like that thought on combining multiple less useful actions. Could be very powerful, thank you!

When a game enables analysis paralysis, how do you streamline it without destroying the fun of the game🤔
