Yes, it's another puzzle game about turning things in a grid - but I promise nothing you learned in Sophie's Grids will help you here! :D

Screenshot of three bar charts, the top one shows a spectogram of microphone input, filtering to just the noise as best as possible. The middle one shows a distribution of sampled noise over the past few seconds, it is not uniform. The bottom one shows the results of d100 rolls and their frequency - which appears to be uniform and fair.

If you struggle with getting started doing stuff, as I do, this might help. I came up with this "bore/chore" method which is basically "Set aside time, use it to either do the thing or be bored".

A document detailing the "bore/chore" method.

"Start a task by making complete boredom the only alternative!
Put aside a block of time to work on a task, then split it in two:

1st Half: Bore Time
• Begin work
• ...or be bored
• NOTHING else!

2nd Half: Chore Time
• Keep going!
• You can take breaks
• You can quit any time

Tips:
• Bore Time is for creating some momentum, Chore Time is for using it.
• Things that alleviate boredom are forbidden during Bore Time. This might include: messages, videos, music, daydreaming, reading, snacking - anything more appealing than the task is out!
• If it helps, you may allow some things as you work during bore time (eg; podcasts, music) - but you must pause them while not wprking on the task!
• Be more lenient during Chore Time, anything that was forbidden is now allowed (as long as it doesn’t distract you too much)!
• Don't beat yourself up! Sometimes we try and it just doesn't happen. If you make it through Bore Time then you earned a break! You can give it another shot later!
• Don't set an alarm for the end of Bore Time: you won't want the distraction if you’re working, if you're bored then you're probably checking the time already.
• When you finish or quit, you can decide when the next bore/chore time block is (it can be right away if you're in the zone!)
• Too short a block of time and boredom won’t motivate you, too long and you might be wasting time bored when it would be better to quit and try again later.
• Bore time is NOT meant to be a punishment! If it’s stressing you or pushing you toward a meltdown then abort ASAP! For future attempts, try to find a way to be comfortably/safely bored.

I've also been doing another lemmings port in secret - of the title font! Turns out nobody has ever actually made a font before, even official projects either pick a different cartoony font or just redraw the title themselves. It's still very WIP though, please ignore the "y"!

too hot to think properly, so I've been working on my Lemmings thing. I added visual sound effects, and "hero" lemmings you can select and assign skills to directly. and of course there are more levels.

If you don't have picotron: 1) You should fix that if you can 2) You can still play all the levels in your browser: https:// sophiehoulden.com/ohno.html Also, I added a handful of remixes of classic levels. If you've played a lot of lemmings they should prove to be fun/challenging!

Screenshot of the level "Only floaters can survive this" however the lemmings begin by walking left instead of right.

Screenshot of the level "Now use miners and climbers", but the lower floor has been removed and there is just a large pool of acid there.

Sophie 🎲🏳️‍⚧️ @sophieh.itch.io · 10/06/2026

Okay I'm DONE working on this for now! For real this time! If you have #picotron, search for Lemmings in splore - that cart has my original levels and the ones from the Amiga demo disk (and it can download and play all the other levels I've made from my website)

When I said I had every level from the original lemmings, turns out I missed some in the middle! I've added those and also a bunch of console-exclusive levels. There's now 221 levels to play! sophiehoulden.com/ohno.html

Screenshot of a lemmings "hell" level where levels are building bridges and falling into lava

Screenshot of an "underground" lemmings level where the exit is close to the entrance but a one-way wall forces a lemming to take a less direct route past a trap.

Sophie 🎲🏳️‍⚧️ @sophieh.itch.io · 03/06/2026

My attempt to take a break from this has failed (successfully): - 2 new Sophie levels (the 2nd is impossible unless you know niche mechanics!) - Better builder behaviour + fixed bricks being 5 pixels instead of 6 when going right - Icons in the settings menu sophiehoulden.com/ohno.html

Screenshot of the first lemmings level "Just Dig!", small lemming creatures fall from a trapdoor into a dirt and grass environment and walk toward an exit.

Screenshot of the classic Lemmings level "You need bashers this time" where lemmings tunnel through frozen crystals and jagged netting to reach the exit.

The panoramic prerenders were what I was most proud of figuring out how to do. AFAIK no game has done anything like it. Closest I can think of is one of the Myst games (the third, I think?)

IIRC I not only pre-rendered the background, but rendered the light probes in blender so the realtime models would have lighting to match the scene

Hey, sorry - I am here these days, just not *most* days :p Anyway my experiments went really well, I figured out a lot of new tech for prerendered backgrounds too (360-panoramic scenes!) Unfortunately making any game is work and this one was too much for me alone then. (gifs incoming...)

Realised I haven't posted this here yet: This is every possible numerically-balanced d20 layout. If you know a dice-maker please pass this on to them - it'll make their dice roll fairer on average. #Dice #TTRPG

Image of six icosahedron nets with the faces numbered. Text goes into detail:
"All d20 layouts that are fully balanced numerically"
There are only six number layouts (and their reflections) for a d20 that are optimally fair.
The most common layout (where the 20 is surrounded by 2, 14, 8) is NOT numerically balanced, apart from by opposite-face sum (Which only helps negate bias from a squashed shape).
d20 dice with the above layouts should roll the expected value (10.5) on average, even if their shape is squashed (common for very old, cheap, or melted dice), their center of mass is offset (common in dice with inserts, multiple materials, air bubbles), or are not fully isohedral where faces/edges are slightly different (common for handcrafted gem/glass/metal dice, and dice not evenly tumbled).
Key features:
- Opposite faces always sum 21 (two faces with an average value of 10.5)
- Faces around each vertex always sum 53 or 52 (five faces with average value of 10.6 or 10.4)
- A face's three adjacent faces always sum 32 or 31 (three faces with average value of 10.666 or 10.333)
Feel free to use any of thes layouts above for your own dice to make them fairer overall.

It's an incremental dice game for just one player. It only takes up a little time each day (unless you want to binge it!) I started making it as an excuse to roll all the weird dice I own. You really don't *need* lots of strange dice to play it buuuuut if you are a dice goblin, this is for you!

Two-page illustration of four different devils sat drinking at tables in a bar. Each has a box describing their hiring cost, name, rules, and some flavour text. The Page text reads:
The Devil's Dew
Devil Worlds ONLY
"Hmm, not our usual kind of patron… well you’re welcome as long as your blood is thick enough and you take part in at least one brawl before you leave. Buy some other patrons a drink, and maybe they’ll even fight for you!”

The devils and their flavour text are:
Frenzied Fiend: “Violence? Violence! VIOLENCE!”
Fearsome Fiend: “Evil souls are more delicious. And what could be more evil than creating this prison of lies… I’m salivating at just the thought!”
Fickle Fiend: “A mortal? I’ll NEVER fight alongside- oh… ale? Okay, sure thing, boss!”

I did try looking up how other tabletop book trailers animate their illustrations and turned up nothing, my best guess is some feature in some adobe software I don't wanna pay for, so I just used my game art skills in blender again. I know how to rig a model, doesn't matter if it's 2D

Finally checked all the procreate stats I have for Dice the Demiurge - I spent 324 hours illustrating this book. That's almost two weeks of time doing nothing except drawing... It was spread out over months but my finger is still a different shape as a result lol

An illustrated double-page spread showing a vast chasm where the walls are all library bookshelves that fade out in the distance. A dragon flies overhead and people occupy settlements build on bridges between the shelves. In the foreground a dog-person with climbing gear looks back to you.

To the sides are listed different purchases and their gameplay rules.
