Hey, I'm Michael!

I'm an indie game designer & co-creator of @animalroyale.com

I love:
- absurdist humour
- design
- entertainment (games, film, books, music)
- animals
- philosophy & psychology
- science & technology

And since games draw on all parts of life, I can call these hobbies "work" too

Please don’t report these bugs. They’re intentional.
Super Animal World has a lot of bugs 🦋

Hopefully just the creepy crawly kind

No joke, the Canadian steel tariff and the China tariff add up to an eye watering 72% total on the tumblers so we're figuring out options.

If anyone else shipping goods to the US has any ideas let us know!
Quick Super Merch update! All shipments will pause Oct 11–Nov 12 while Cheryl is out of town.

U.S. shipping’s also still paused until tariff issues clear up. Thanks so much for your patience and support! ❤️

Last ~24 hours to get your Super Merch before US tariffs hit! 📦

Dropping off the final orders before heading to Seattle for the SLICE and PAX expos.
Heads up! The US is ending de minimis on August 29th, so duties will start applying to most international goods, including our Super Merch. 🍁

If you’ve been eyeing something in the shop, order by August 24th to avoid tariffs!
