The name riffs on @shing.bsky.social's wonderful keepsake game, A Mending.
In A Sending, you use watabou's Medieval Fantasy City Generator to procedurally generate a city and then write a postcard based on your imaginary stay there!

I have a whole thing about small indie designers/publishers making great games from the heart. I had the chance to play Club Spooky a few weeks ago and was utterly charmed by it.

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.
