I have no idea why but my youngest son's daycare just sent us a picture that would be the HARDEST album cover
A young child dressed in black stands with his back to the camera, one hand resting against a chain-link fence as he gazes across a grassy daycare playground. A colorful toy airplane sits abandoned beside him, while a large red building stretches across the background.

Using the same #PoweredByHydra mechanics as my other games like Freedom By Fire and Steel Horizons, #BBQuest should be a hilariously chaotic romp through suburban backyards as you plan and steal simple hot dogs and chip to massive briskets and pig roasts! I can't wait for y'all to see it!

At the beginning of each "run" you choose your difficulty that affects what kinds of BBQs you can sneak into, from small family dinners to a full on block party. From there you decide if you take your score and head home or keep pushing for one last score!

I never imagined myself making a rogue-like tactical #TTRPG, but man I feel like the second I made that decision, this game has almost been writing itself! #BBQuest is a game that puts you in the shoes of a band of raccoons trying to steal all the food at the local BBQ

I am genuinely surprised at how much I just wrote tonight for me next #PoweredByHydra game, BBQuest, a game about playing as raccoons on a BBQ heist. I've been stuck for a few days and then I realized what I needed, it needed to be a rouge-like dungeon crawl! #BBQuest

Genuinely, the second I stopped making myself feel I had to "monetize" everything I created, the bulk of my struggles went away. I feel like now I can make stuff because I *want* to instead of chasing a trend to get the most notice or acclaim, if that makes sense

Until the day she is injected with an experimental serum that awakened her gene and manifested an ability to control the flow and current of air around her. Now, as Airwalker, she must track down the source of this serum to save others from a potentially grim fate if their bodies react poorly.

She wears a fitted black bodysuit beneath a white, lab-coat-inspired superhero jacket with long split coat tails and blue-gray accents, white gloves, and white boots. A dark blue mask covers her eyes, with silver wing-like pieces extending upward beside her head. Her long blonde hair is worn loose and flowing. The sheet includes full-body front and back views plus front, profile, and three-quarter facial views.

So I decided to revamp an old idea I had and I think pretty soon I'm going to release just a fun solo podcast "The Crossroads"! Mostly just me getting to talk about the fun stuff I'm working on and sometimes just sharing what goes on in my brain. I hope you all like it when it's released!

Yea this was my first real taste of what would become my favorite genre but Cataclysm was my absolute JAM, if I had Steam back then my hours in that game would have been astronomical. Also The Beast was genuinely terrifying and I was HOOKED

To all my #indiecomics writers, I'm always curious to hear what are your favorite types of panels to write on your scripts? I feel like recently I've been loving high/low angles but also using negative space really has been fun to let the composition also tell the story instead of just dialogue.

Wandering Pilgrim Studios @wanpilstudios.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Two questions: 1.) Of both NOVAs which mech is your favorite and why? 2.) Were there any mechs left on the cutting room floor you wish you could have made work? If so what were they?
