Generative AI is great y'all, Steam can't handle slop submissions, Humble slop-deleted 2FA and account settings, Microsoft is down, everything is getting hacked, open source is being strangled, search is destroyed, and the remains of the world economy are dependent on one penis. Leaps and bounds.

Today marks 5 years since we released Unpacking! Thank you all for the kind words about the game, silly jokes, and opinions on just how many chicken plushies one should own 💜 To remember where we came from, here are some early design sketches & mockups for you all to enjoy:

Hey, long time no chat. Still recovering from the leg&ankle breaks, but amidst the chaos we’ve put together a small demo for SKINSCRIBING we’re so proud of. It’ll be a bit longer before we show more, but meanwhile we’re looking for funding. If you’re interested in trying our demo, please hit me up!

so, I kept waiting for a "quiet" day to post about it, but considering *everything* I'm realizing that day isn't coming so I might as well just start talking Some friends and I, including @slothysunday.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social, are making a game. store.steampowered.com/app/4462890/...

This will be the first MIGW in quite some time that we will not be in attendance. I wish I could be there with my clients nominated for 4 AGDAs between them but my main client needs me 24/7 and is not quite ready for the hustle and bustle the week entails 🤱
