I promise, I still am working on The Last Walkers, but it takes a lot of thinking and then a lot more editing. I will be done.

Are there any gamer folk out there that would like to exchange small amounts of money for parts of my ideas, ideas expressed as games? #SelfPromo #Nerdlings #Wargaming afour-games.itch.io May I recommend CosmosDasher, a silly little PWYW game, and perhaps you may W to P £69 for it?

I feel like a real game author! someone paid money for a thing I made, and then lodged a complaint! (unable to open pdf) which I had to do 'customer service' for! Look at me everybody! I'm doing a customer service!🥰 (Also: thank you to anyone that downloads any of my games, paid or not.)
When I say I'm really struggling in the editing of The Last Walkers- It looks a lot like this [pic]. Each of the 14 'pages' contains multiple dozens of items to review. And without fail, editing one part means 5 other things screw up. I promise, this WILL get finished...
When writing rules for a table top RPG, how pedantic is too pedantic? How finely stipulated should the rules be while trying also to offer as much player agency as possible? The work on The Last Walkers revision is taking me forever!
If there is anyone out there in need of commissioned miniatures painting, I can personally vouch for just how superb Jess's work is. Picture is related: not my model, but her latest work. And it is glorious! #Nerdlings #MiniPainting #Warhammer #40k
Just waiting on client feedback before i can call him done.
Working on a little something for this game... Meet: Cobalt Snake. #Blender #Tabletop #3dPrint A super simple and quick model just to test if I could match to the unit builder. (note: the unit builder doe NOT create 3d models for you!)

I have a soft spot for oldhammer 'Space Orks' so this has to be my latest Painted Mini(s) of the Day #PMotD And Freebooters too! none of this zoggin' clan nonsense... Love it! 🤍 I see those other gray models at the back too... 👀
The Dreadmob of Bertbad the mekboy and Ernurty the painboy. Leaving their respective clans to team up to build the ultimate dreadnought, selling their wares to the highest bidder. Today they're showing off their latest creation, the Calico Grot. #orks #Freebooterz #needling #warhammer
Well that was a painful waste of a day, it turns out Kickstarter is NOT the right platform to find funding to get my game defragg.err onto Steam. I still need to raise cash though to get it done. I am dismayed and feeling a bit pooped.
Thanks to what I can only attribute as latent ADHD, I have done ANYTHING ELSE other than completing the editing of The Last Walkers. I've set up an entire Kickstarter, painted models, created assets and doomscrolled over three days. Only 1 section of the to-do list on the editorial is checked. 😵
I spent far too long today looking for weather icons or weather icon fonts, or SVG... I should have just done this 4 hours ago... If anyone wants some really crappy snowflake or sunshine icons - I'm setting these free as public domain art: #FreeArt #MadeByHuman #NoAI

I'm gonna call these out as the Painted Mini's of the Day #PMotD I love hoe bright they are and the cartoon/cell-shade style, such a vibrant pop! And we know they all get +1MA because ... Red.🔴
Going to the Off Season #bloodbowl tournament tomorrow and taking these lads. I loved the old orc roster and I'm wary of this new one but I should give it a try. Can't just never play them again! #minipainting
For reasons known only to my brain, I have been undertaking some QoL updates to my stupid defrag game: afour.games/diskdefrag/ I have more important things to be doing, but, it is what it is... So if you have a few minutes to waste playing a nonsense game of computer nostalgia, have at it. #Retro
Posting for the Wednesday crowd. Please enjoy my silliness. #Nostalgia #RetroComputing #FreeGame

While I REALLY would love to host an Afour Games table or booth, I cannot afford such nice things. I'll settle for just doing what I normally do - stay at home and gaze longingly at the cool things happening all around. #TTS2026 #BoardGames #RPG #TTRPG

Feeling a little glum today: it will cost me £140 to renew my webhosting, I've made about £60 from my 'games sales'. I'm finding it very difficult to find a way to want to keep 'Afour games' going if its only sucking money from my pocket.

Good news (for me...) I'm done with the edit pass of The Last Walkers! I need to do a little more artwork, finish exactly 1 page of content and it's 'ready' to go! Hooray! It's only taken me about 2 months. All that work, and I doubt I'll even sell 1 more copy... But at least I did it. [1/2]
Easy Painted Mini of the Day right there... #PMotD Just look at the lil' gooby lizurb face, too damn cute. Reminds me so much of my pet beardies! #Hobby #PaintedMinis #PetPhoto
Painting a mini for fun?! Unheard of. WIP of the first thing I've painted in yonks bc of burn out. Lil lizard guy brought me back.
@mightylancergames.bsky.social get some more hashtags! #Warhammer #booksky #signedcopy Also- to any that see, this from my feed, why not just check these out, fun reading stuff that makes the world a little better, what's not to love. 🤍

What's that you say? A new and overly minute detail that needs revision over the entirety of the three different rules documents... ? OH boy! ’ or ' I know you can all see the intense difference this will make. I shall now dedicate an hour of my life to this offence! </s> I hate editing...
I should be more positive about my 'game design' projects. Around 2001-ish I wrote rules for an x-com derived/inspired tabletop game. I just found the old prototype play-pieces among some old bits. #NerdNostalgia It took 25 years for the industry to catch up with me. modiphius.net/pages/xcomth...
I've now spent a solid week in the revisions of what was previously The Long Walk, now renamed as The Last Walkers. Painstakingly editing everything to the nth degree... For a game that has sold three copies and which I don't expect to sell any significant amount post the re-release.
I'd be mad to not tag this as my choice of Painted Mini of the Day! Waaaaaaaagh! #PMotD #Minipainting #WH40K #nerdlings Superb conversion work AND excellent colours so true to the cartoons of #Ghostbusters that I used to watch as a kid.
Yeehaw, FINALLY had the time and spoons to finish up #miniaturepainting these Puppetswar #ghostbusters #orks. I'm satisfied with how they turned out and learned a lot about the comic style of painting.
When editing, it's best to use meaningful names for internal styles or layouts. Dong so means later editing can easily be interpreted. Which is why I take such care on things like this so I don't become confused by my own previous edits. 👀😅 #GamesDesign #Indie #TTRPG
