Spelkollektivet needs help!!! 💚 It's no secret that development on Rizz Dungeon started at Spel. We spent time with a lovely community of devs and share ideas, laughs, and motivation which led us to create probably our most joyful game yet. If you are a dev, look into Spel, and help us save it!!!

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

This is one of my favorite paintings and it currently doesnt exsist on the internet. Its in a private collection so you cant see it in a museum and its impossible to get a print of. Ive had it saved to my phone for years from the original French auction site listing that no longer exists.
