Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time
make bad art because some of the worst people you know are making even worse art and literally nothing you make will be that bad.
make bad art!!! it's better than making no art!!!

So what is Għar Gremxul all about?
I thought I'd write up this thread to give people a bit more context about Għar Gremxul and what I think about when making games. Here, I explain four core design pillars that guide me.

Out of curiosity, is there anything that people would like to see more of from my work? Game genres, themes, formats, you name it. I'm interesting to see what people are interested in!

Attention #TTRPG community: If you found an indie game or supplement you like, take a moment to tell the creator on social media. Unlike big companies, indie devs WILL notice and often greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Sometimes it's the only way we know anyone likes our stuff!

Something I want the success of games like Clair Obscur, Blasphemous, and 1000xResist, is that games can draw from very specific, non US cultural touchstones and reach audiences

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

IF. YOU. LIKE. SOMETHING. SAY. SOMETHING.
I know so many people who are like "well I don't know what to say so I just don't" and like
_anything_
If you don't say anything, the artist will often just... stop.

I make games influenced by Maltese folklore, history, and culture. I'd love for more people to take a look at the games I've made; some people seem to think they're neat!
I recently set all of my games to pay-what-you-want, and I'd love to hear from you if you've played them.

100% what Hayley said!
If you're streaming Sherwood or Roseville Beach (or any forthcoming R. Rook Studio books), I've got free PDFs, ePubs and either have or will make digital character keepers and customized consent worksheets for you.
