Happy Halloween, children of darkness! Tonight's a great night to stay in and be comforted by a sexy goth priest (voiced by Matthew Mercer) in a (oc)cult hit video game, don't you think?

It's out! I'm tremendously honored to return as Ares and Dionysus in Hades II, joining an truly Olympian cast of actors.
Working with masters at the top of their game like @supergiantgames.bsky.social was my secret dream as a kid, so my inner child is gratified today.
Let's go kill Chronos.

I've always wanted to do creative work that people find either repellent or lovable... but I'll admit that the latter is pretty satisfying. 💖Thank you for the lovely review, @riathepotatowitch.bsky.social !

*That* is verification in the literal sense, and it's great and prevents fraud! This, though...

It's the last day of the Vampire Therapist anniversary sale. You can get our BAFTA-nominated game for super cheap! If these reviews + 50% off don't convince you, maybe the fact that fascist defenders hate it will? That would work on me.

One year ago, my bloodsucking baby was born. Vampire Therapist went on to win a bunch of awards, helped people who played it cope with the world a little better, and made me fall in love with reading again.
I'm deeply grateful to everyone who gave it a chance... I know therapy is pretty scary!

Been looking forward to reading this after a hard week. Turning points in history where the privileged decide to kill us all seem important to study these days!

There's only one day left for the Steam Summer Sale! Vampire Therapist is changing lives, and it just might change yours. It's also a great gift for that friend or partner that thinks they're too good for therapy! 🤔 store.steampowered.com/app/2481020/...

Our li'l game has changed some lives and won bunches of awards, but you probably haven't played it. Therapy is scary, sure, which is why we filled it with jokes and brought in Matt Mercer to play some sexy goths!
It's on sale for just a few more days for 5% of the cost of a therapy session. 🫂

Shucks, I wish I'd sorted out my visa issues earlier so I could have gone to Develop Brighton! I'll be watching from home, if I can. Vampire Therapist is up for Best Original IP, and while I don't fancy our chances, it would be nice to be in the audience. Next time!

Our Couples Therapy expansion is all about what to do when a government stops serving its people and how revolution works from a French and Iranian perspective. It's both timely *and* on sale!

Getting excited to watch the Games for Change Awards tonight, where Vampire Therapist is up for an award! My buds at @torporgames.com are up for one too, so I think at least one of us will have a nice night. I couldn't go to New York due to immigration issues but I'll enjoy watching from home.

I love the name of my studio. 🦇 🦇🦇 Even more when I get to see it in the credits of a Remedy game. I did some early scratch track for FBC: Firebreak, so I'm appreciative of getting a credit at all!

Berliners! I'm doing a talk tomorrow on how to freely, safely, and effectively use the public domain to inspire and fancify your game development instead of using generative AI slop. Hope I'll see you at Talk & Play!
