@theop.games booth wasn’t just full of fun games, but the fun people I’ve been fortunate to work with over the years. Was so nice to see you all in person. Next year we’ll have to see if we can cajole Andrew E into coming (IYKYK).

We've been secretly working with @allplay.bsky.social on a new edition of Phantom Ink It's ultra-portable, and replaces the writing pad with a cloth spirit board and a planchette for giving clues. The new components (and box) are gorgeous, and super thematic for the seance experience

Return of the Obra Dinn is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. And I don’t think any other game in the genre that it spawned will ever top it. But The Incident at Galley House comes closer than anything else I’ve played. Absolutely worth playing if you’re a fan of Obra Dunn!

I truly believe "mean girl vibes" has to be one of the worst phrases to gain popularity over the last few years. For when you've chosen to hate a woman (always a woman; there's no "mean guy vibes" phrase equivalent!) for no discernible reason and you've decided that makes it her fault

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

☠️ Big milestone for me as my first non-self published tabletop game goes live next Friday 3/20! Lyctor is a low model count, mini agnostic skirmish game that puts you in the role of an Adept of the Necromantic arts in a battle-beyond-death-match to ascend to Lyctorhood and acquire profane powers.

The printed book for Lyctor. The cover is a vintage red color with an eerie skull drawing done in a sketchy blue pencil

Full spread of the printed version of Lyctor featuring a sample of the rules. The text is framed by a cold looking, sharp metallic bracket that mimics the vibe of wicked armor paneling.

Think what we have to go through to finally be ourselves, from being ostracized in coming out to endless paperwork to get documents that align with who they are, just to get a letter like this saying you're a felon for using an ID that correctly identifies you. You'd be furious too.

While we're celebrating Zelda's 40th, I want to give some love to some of the foundational action adventure games that predated it. Hydlide, in particular, deserves more respect outside of Japan for what it did for the genre in '84 (PC88). Tower of Druaga, Courageous Perseus, Dragon Slayer, Hydlide
