To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Reminder that @emmakidwell.bsky.social and I will be doing a talk at the Enoch Pratt library in Baltimore this weekend! (Or, Emma will be doing a talk and I'll be asking her questions) It's a whole video game fest and you should come and say hi!
I will be showing MUTAGEN in Baltimore this weekend! Come and check it out!!
