We have finally released our new puzzle, the Flummoxagon! We've done more tweaking and playtesting on this than any other puzzle, and I think we've managed to make a unique and addictive game. It's turned into something completely different from our original idea

Meet the Flummoxagon
We’re excited to announce Flummoxagon, a new geometric puzzle game that might just leave you flummoxed. Imagine a mash-up of Pentominoes and Sudoku. Your goal is to fit all the pieces into the hexa…

I realized we hadn't updated our headshots in over a decade. It felt fitting to take new photos inside our own work (also featuring @nervousjesse.bsky.social @nervo.us)

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I have been play testing our new puzzle which is _NOT_ a jigsaw puzzle. It’s been super fun. How long do you think should an easy puzzle take? What should each one of these sets of tiles be called? Internally we’ve been calling them scenarios but also considered “board” or just “puzzle”

Our Hyphae lamps are inspired by mycelial networks. Each lamp is unique. We grow them using an algorithm based on how veins form in leaves. We have a few in stock now: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/generat... #sciart

Don't use tea lights much so I incorporated it into a lamp design.
