We made our debut around the same time as @milonogiannis.com . We worked together on the comic book series "Spera", and he composed the music for our short film "3 Old Gods". Like us, he’s a bit of a jack-of-all-trades: music, comics, video games... His game "Birdcage" is currently on sale on Steam!

Got to do a bunch of sketching in the Artist Alley, got to meet some incredibly kind & lovely people, got to chat on a panel with Reiner Knizia and got interviewed on a big fancy television set about The Old King’s Crown. What a surreal day. What an honour. Going to have a big sleep & cry.

What perfect timing! After Arcs came out I took about a year break from the game. With Beyond the Reach, I've had a good excuse to be playing it a lot again and rediscovering what fired me up about the game in the first place. This is a marvelous review and well worth the wait.

We're lucky enough to share a studio in Edinburgh with Judson, and it is a real joy & privilege to watch this one-man-machine at work. He's honed the art of turning ideas into a living, breathing things, so much so that it feels like a celebration watching his games come to life.
