“But they were all of them deceived… for a sixth font was made…” God I love #GDC, fantastic talk about pentiment’s development given by @jesawyer.bsky.social. I hope this one makes it to YouTube.

Merry Christmas! This time of year I am reminded that the Santa Design we made for Heroes of the Grid appeared in the official Boom Studios Power Ranger Comics.

My sister dug these up from our old house and I’m so hyped. Do I frame them or try to find a laserdisc player

Board game design is giving players a box of nonsense and then writing a letter to them that explains how to have fun. It needs to be a really good letter.

Yes I'm a AAA game designer but no I don't really have a lot to say about games so sorry if you're expecting more Good design comes from happy, healthy minds. Go read books and smell flowers and dance in the rain Be kind and make fun experiences. That's all you need
