Logged into Steamworks today for the first time in a long time, to see that nearly 28,000 people have downloaded Drag Her!. What an honour that project was, to make something so special with such wonderful colleagues. Cheers to them, and to the game that almost wasn't.

Another insane find from my parents' garage: my Little Mermaid Gigapet. This was a birthday present from my classmate, way back in kindergarten. This thing has been in a box for 20+ years and somehow the batteries never leaked. Popped some new ones in today, and its working perfectly 🐠

The opening chapter to #Nostos #Unflattening 2 is a 22 page, 15 foot long continuous sequence that is a retelling of the Odyssey. It’s been done since 2019 and I’ve been pushing to have it released as a standalone since to no avail, & really hoping before this movie, but here we are. A sneak peek…
