I and no one I’ve spoken to consented to having our work used as marketing for this, which we didn’t even know existed. Though two of my games are featured, I am not affiliated with this beta storefront.

Visiting my parents in a couple months and they want to try a game so they have a better sense of what I do lol. I don’t think any of my own games would really fit the bill, so I’m taking suggestions!

I did a postmortem write-up on my tumblr about attending #GenCon this year! Heads up that it's super long, but it does cover all four days, the con's amenities, and the various panels I attended.

I’ve circled back around to In the Night and, team? They’re RIGHT when they say don’t make your passion project first.
I’m a much better designer now. I threw out 90% of what I had before. And it’s actually flowing this time.

Past Seren was really fucking stupid
Somewhere along the line they changed END (endurance) to something abbreviated to ITN
But did they write down anywhere what ITN *means*??? Absolutely not.
