Okay, I'm testing the waters. Five slots for now, but commissions are here! I went with kofi, because they take a lot of the headaches out of organising it. I have a fairly large range of things on offer, so hopefully something catches your eye! ko-fi.com/evegoldenwoo...

It's very hard to persuade anyone to read a self-published book, especially from a no-name author like me. If we can get it onto a shortlist here it could make a real difference, and your vote has an impact towards that which would be very much appreciated.

What is Virtue's Heaven? Is it an "Evil Game"? Is it an attempt at expressing our current day's malaise in an action platformer? Or is it "not a good metroidvania" with a final act that is "just weird"?
Whatever the case, it definitely is 20% off on Steam!

the good news is that the media attention and support from an audience has helped Horses do well enough that Santa Ragione has been able to pay all its owed royalties and loans. so it's not in debt.

the bad news is it's still not enough to keep the studio together.

Once again, if you believe that FF&FG would only love to give us a well-resourced, world beating welfare state but it’s just those pesky immigrants won’t let them, you are a gobshite. You have a loyalty card with your local bridge salesman. You were, in fact, born yesterday.

The Irish Game Dev Portal connecting our Irish Game Dev Holiday Parties from Galway, Cork, and Dublin.

What a great night to catch up with fellow game developers. We probably had close to 200 game developers meet up Friday night for drinks, food, a bit of social games and prizes, and good craic.

Here are the pieces I contributed to the show.

I was asked to illustrate works by Palestinian poets Mahmoud Darwish, Samih Al-Qasim, Tawfiq Zayyad, and Khaled Juma, and decided to base the illustration on Palestinian embroidery (tatreez) motifs

Last bit of The Banished Vault posting: I wrote fifteen design diaries during and after development! Everything from simulation, complexity, dice, art design, teaching, art, and more. People have told me they found them interesting and helpful!

Find them all here: lunardivision.net/the-banished...
We'll be talking a lot about The Banished Vault this week, and it's on sale until Sunday.

It would mean a lot to us if you shared the game among your friends! I promise a "hey check this out" message is the number one way to get a niche game in front of people who are interested in it.

Nic & I wrote hundreds of events for Amberspire, so I can say (with some bias) that the game’s world is so considered & interesting, but allows the player to form their own narrative that is reflected back at them in the cities they build.

I’m proud to work on it, and everyone should wishlist it!!
And hey, wishlist Amberspire! tell a friend! store.steampowered.com/app/3350750/...

IMO someone should hire me to travel around to all the rad studios and teams and solo devs across the island of Ireland and interview them about what they're doing.

The thing about being drunk is, I am 5x more affectionate than when I'm sober. But the other thing about being drunk is, it's all true I just lack the courage to say it when my inhibitions aren't deadened

While I was half watching The Game Awards I finished a thread of 50 indie game recommendations. FIFTY! That's as many as five tens. And that's terrible.

But seriously, I do want to impart something. There's a whole world of games out there, far beyond what's represented at the show, just as worthy.
50. Nine Sols

And at 50 it's NINE SOLS! I'm ending on a high, Red Candle's masterpiece, I cannot recommend it highly enough, the Sekiro inspired combat is immensely good, the bosses are some of the best I've seen, it's hitting on Hollow Knight level of good, and the story and writing are top tier.
