‘Publish your campaign early!’ They tell you. ‘You’ll get more more backers.’ While that is probably true, they don’t tell you that means more months of compulsively checking follower/backer numbers :/

My final video for 2025 compiles the lessons I learnt about games design this year, from rethinking how I work, what I want to design, and the people who I couldn't have done without.
Thank you everyone who has supported the channel this year, and have a wonderful 2026!

Went for a brief walk after dinner with The Wife and got a great view of Jupiter. She reminded me her dad owns a telescope so when got back we saw Jupiter and its moons and then an AMAZING view of the moon. Really wish I knew how to take photos through a telescope. This doesn’t do it justice 😂

There’s been loads of gaming on the family holiday, but mostly trivia and party games that I’ve not fancied playing. My first game was Flip 7, which I won :)

I am not a graphic designer. What limited skills I have in that area are from years of trying to improve in my spare time. But I am really quite pleased with the Gal4Xeon logo (and name!)

Like print at home games? Postmark’s are great!
A quieter year for us with just the one Kickstarter campaign, but a good reception to 52 Realms bolstered sales from our webstore. Eager to get stuck into more Postmark in the new year!

Another whooping by Paul at River Valley Glassworks, but this time I closed the gap from 51 points(!) to a mere 20.

Paul and his wife just taught me (and crushed me at) River Valley Glassworks. Neat little game that I think Daughter the Second will enjoy.

Been working more on my TTRPG. I finished a prototype character sheet.
