Happy October! Boy, do I like this month. I know Fall begins in September, but I feel like it really begins now. To celebrate this spooky month, I’m releasing a Heck Yeah! #webcomic every Saturday until Oct 31st. Happy Fall!

Balloon Art launches as a print and play game on September 22nd! (That's next week, ahhh!) It'll be available on itch. Here's my itch page: mutantxpizza.itch.io If you don't buy it, these lil dudes in the picture will be overcome with sorrow, and might let go of their balloons!
Three weird dudes, one holding balloons. Title: Balloon Art. Other text reads: An uplifting doodling game. Draw on balloons...become a legend. About 15 minutes, for ages 12 and up, play together or solo. $3.00 for five sheets of doodling mayhem.

Now that I've attended every (in-person) indie game market at least once, I wanted to share my thoughts on each of them. I sold Propaganda, Coupon Clipper, and/or Tricked Out at each market. Coupon Clipper is a more typical game, while Propaganda and Tricked Out are more out there.

Tweaks here, tweaks there, tweaks everywhere! The gameplay for Balloon Art has been settled, and at the time of me writing this, I've already given out dozens (dozens!) of free demos of Balloon Art at PAX West. When's this sucker coming out? The game launches Sept 22 on itch.io as a print and play only game. I feel like this is the best way to experience Balloon Art, that way you get a digital PDF to download and print as many copies as you like.

Ever wanted to have a deep discussion with yourself or others? One that gets underneath the surface, digging through to your subconscious and bringing out your hopes, fears, desires, insecurities, and so much more. A conversations that you'll think back on long after it has ended. Let Thought Complex guide you through a journey of the heart and mind, of vulnerabilitiy and triumph, of loss and love, of everything and nothing at all.

I love doodling. Drawing unique characters, interesting landscapes, and mysterious artifactes from the blank page is, to me, the raw essence of creativity. All things are born from the blank page. I wanted to make a game that allowed you to express yourself in a fun and casual way -- no expecatations. Most importantly: You don't have to be good at drawing to play Balloon Art!

Made the table sign for the game market and finished packaging the last few copies of DAGnabbit!. 9 days left, but almost everything is in order.
A table sign for DAGnabbit!, sitting on top of a pile of finished copies of the game. The sign has the game’s logo at the top, a description broken up by arrows in the middle (“a ➡️ mathy ➡️ puzzly ➡️ flip-and-write ➡️ game ➡️ about drawing ➡️ directed graphs”), and some info about the game at the bottom (“1-6 players, 15ish minutes, all ages, $35”)

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Someone at a recent playtest of my doodling game said it was an "interesting activity" and it was "barely even a game." Are we so bitter that we gatekeep what constitutes a game now? BTW This is my official announcement for Balloon Art, a solo doodling game. More to come soon! #boardgames #doodle

The one on the right is a blue mutant wearing overalls and... also carrying a shotgun! He's got big sharp teeth, no nose, and white pupils.

Development of this game felt like a fever dream. It came and went, start to finish, in two months. But I cannibalized elements for this from other games that I had been working on for several months. It was both a lengthy and brief process. Let's talk about it. This is my first narrative-ish game I've been wanting to get into more narrative and role play style games for a while, and this is my first step into onto the fields of storytellin' games.

Just finished Night in the Woods. Loved the game but I'll stand by my opinion: please stop sneaking in mandatory beat/music timing mini-games into your otherwise flawless video game experience. It's so boring and annoying when that's unexpectedly shoved into a video game!
