I have discovered the brand synergy singularity. This post may not escape its horrible, unknowable power, but if it does, tell my wife and daughter I love them.

Seems to be a lot of new folks here and I guess we can post video now - so here's the game I'm working on! Alliance Peacefighter: a single player, story-driven space sim. Out next year, if all goes well.

Whoever decided to add the 'g' to phlegm, bravo, just a peak linguistic aesthetic choice. you nailed it bud.

Reposting this for my own records because I'm very intrigued
Do you:

✒️ Enjoy word puzzles?
✒️ Love games like Outer Wilds, Tunic, Fez, or The Witness?
✒️ Trust my excellent taste?

If yes to any of the above, I *beg* you to check out this (free) pen and paper game. Please. It's so good.

Print it off and thank me later xoxo
