Had the most amazing chat with Jonny @darthmalks.bsky.social for Indie Game Garden chatting about my circuitous root to game dev, and about the shared DNA between Lil and Resthaven. Give it a listen, and then check out the back catalogue!!!

@playhilltop.bsky.social studio lead Scott Christian was the best dang podcast guest a guy could ask for. After Lil Guardsman, Scott and team are back with Curse of Resthaven. It’s going to be a thrilling game! audio: indiegamegarden.transistor.fm/32 yt: youtu.be/pXdww2iXikM?...

During covid, I started this series of illustrations interpreting tarot cards. I eventually got distracted by work but these are still some of my favorite illustrations. I was really pushing myself in terms of storytelling.

It's Crimson C'Tuesday! 8pm Eastern start! More amazing news to share! Back to work on my next game! And more detectiving in Hokkaidō Rensa Satsujin! Hope to see you there! www.twitch.tv/a_maplemystery

It's #trailertuesday! May it grace your feed, lead you down a rabbit hole all the way to our demo, bind you to its will inducing you to wishlist, and terminate in you playing Curse of Resthaven at launch. It's a weird curse, but I don't make the rules! store.steampowered.com/app/4661280/...

Ah, thanks so much!! 😊

Very fun text parser mystery that’s so good to look at you might lose your train of thought:

The Crimson Diamond BIG BOX is being planned! 🤩 If you were going to buy one, would you prefer: a) CD-ROM with printed surface b) usb stick made of maple wood with a laser-engraved logo?

Julia Minamata@juliaminamata.bsky.social · last mo.

(3/5) The Crimson Diamond BIG BOX is in the works! It would include the above game manual and cost approx $35-45 USD (before taxes & shipping). It should be available around the end of the year! If you are considering buying it, would you prefer a) CDROM or b) USB stick, maple wood, engraved logo?

You can now buy The Very Brief Maze War of Fergenkrank miniatures at my website, goblinwebsite.com

Stuff from my game project "Pepperbee and the Anarchy". I need to make other ends meet to be able to return to this project, but in the meantime, why not share some stuff occasionally? I am very proud of its art, and I need to get back to it someday. I haven't been sharing art in ages. #pixelart

It's my birthday week (13th's the actual day) As a gift, check out my game. It's got a demo. It's also highly reviewed! And if you have the game and haven't left a review, that would be cool too. 💅🏼✌🏼
