Murderworld is now available!
A text adventure where you play as the 1989 lineup of the X-Men as they fight to win back their weekend. It's got several playable characters over the course of multiple hours-worth of grand adventure and superhero drama.

Random people in my office, who know I like and make video games, have been coming up to me to ask about the Steam Cube. I feel like this one might break containment.

A clown in full regalia was doing a comedy magic act at one of the most dangerous intersections in Washington, D.C. and I was so mad to not have any cash on me. She was so good!

Our weekend with no internet meant some board games like Hot Streak were finally played. It’s a game where you bet on a mascot race and it’s lovely because everyone ends up yelling at the silly pieces. Highly recommend as it’s a quick play that also can accommodate a lot of players.

Our home internet has been down all day and we get no cell service in our house so I have to step outside to do anything on my phone like I’m taking a cigarette break.
It feels appropriate because like smoking, the internet is slowly killing me.

We had 400+ people attend District Arcade yesterday (over 30 devs showing their games!) and I don’t think the library quite understood what we were summoning until it happened. lol.
District Arcade is tomorrow!
If you have questions leading up to (or during) the event, our Discord is the best place to reach the organizers.

See ya'll soon!

Diving back into Crab Crawl to fix a few bugs and reacclimate to Unity for my next project. I'm still charmed by my squid friend I added late game. It just follows you around harmlessly for a while, and if you get too close... ✒️⬛

The show Millennium never made it to the millennium.
What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.
And how long has it been?
I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.
I’m still FURIOUS.
