As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

Draknek & Friends@draknek.bsky.social · 10mo ago

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

The global game community is diverse. The industry isn't. GDoCExpo is an online conference that exists to close that gap. Celebrate creativity & culture in games w/ us! This week: talks, panels, interviews, networking, community demos, Direct, grant awards & watch parties! Who we are & what we do👇🏽
