Tumbles is launching on July 1st! This has been a labour of love in our free time and has been a delight to share with the community at expos. I'm so pleased to have been able to give our adorable lil guy and his jungle home their visual identity 💖

T. rex vs. T. rex.
Single-panel comic, drawn in pencil. A Tylosaurus rex in a cowboy hat faces a Tyrannosaurus rex. The caption reads: 'This town ain't big enough for the two of us.'

You must also do the little 'Whomp whomp whomp' noise to make sure it's done right.

At 13, wanted to be a pilot, was told that women can't fly planes. Was told I could be a hairdresser, nurse or teacher. (Heckin' yikes). 'Rebeled' and went to join the army, got super sick after my OSB. Mum suggested I study animation online. Got a graduate job in games, it's now my home💖

There's been plenty of research on how games can affect mental health, but what about games for mental health? We interviewed some developers doing just that.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

A small black and white comic. The comic shows me in four stages. 

At the beginning I am lurched over in my office chair, prepared to work hard. A speech bubble says: 'Okay. Time to lock in and-.' My cat's head is peeking up from around my lap.

In the second part, my cat has started to crawl into my space. I look down at her, but am still distractedly saying: 'Time to lock-'

In the third part my cat is starting to make herself comfortable on my chest, where she likes to be. I am succumbing, looking off in the distance saying: 'To-'

By the fourth section, I have fully surrendered. She is sleeping on chest. It's all over.

Seven years as a florist before game dev didn't at all prepare me for this!💐 I got to help with some rigging for The Florist recently and its been so great! (Shared Layne's post cause any chance to shout out one of the most talented and thoughtful devs I've ever worked with!) Give it a wishlist!

To everyone rolling straight from #migw into SXSW, sincerely, how? I'm sorely out of spoons but I loved every moment of MIGW! At least 14 'hear me out' cooked game ideas were discussed. So many new games friends made. Hundreds of people stopped by at pax to play our little caterpillar game💖

I think people think that art taking a long time to learn means like a month or maybe a year and not an ever expanding process that progresses with you the entirety of your time drawing. You don't "finish" getting good at art because that's not the freaking point.

Silk Soar is going to PAX ... Well, we COULD be...! Costs for a booth are considerable for a team who are working with passion alone so we have put together a GoFundMe in hopes to get a little help on getting to MIGW.
