My wife went to go get her annual physical and the nurse is like OMG I know your husband. He's so nice. We talked about pokemon.
It's like the universal language of joy for millennials.
That and tacos.

We gave out full size bars and Pokemon (trick or trade) and it still ended up on some random facebook group.
The hobby is cooked if adults are chasing trick or trade packs lol.
Kids were so thrilled though!

Really enjoyed the Duck Detective. Was nice playing something so fully contained that could be beaten in an afternoon.

@legalminimum.bsky.social can I send you a DM. Need some help sorting something in WA and could use guidance on where to send someone. Non-gaming but law related.

It hasn’t fully sunk in that we shipped a game.
Siegecaster was a massive labor of love and honestly a process that taught me infinitely more about game development than I could have learned any other way.
Seeing praise for it from people I have a ton of professional respect for is humbling.

It's pretty damn cool to see someone vibing with your game so much that they bust out a whole song to it.

Siegecaster received a glowing review from my Mom.
I’m pretty sure she hasn’t played this much of a video game since the arcade era.

One of my favorite games I’ve played this year. Give it a play!!
Siegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game, is available now! This was a personal project created with a small team, and my friends say, "I was playing it to be polite, but then it was four hours later, and I actually liked it!"
Getting the word out is still hard, so all RTs appreciated!

Ok everyone, gather round. Me and @sliwinski.bsky.social have been working together for over a decade. He’s powered up our business and kept the lights on.
So imagine my massive frustration that he’s also a talented game director. The fucking jerk.

I felt awful at first that this interview key’d in so heavily on me when @sliwinski.bsky.social and @halfhumangames.bsky.social are insanely pivotal to this even being a thing.
But thankfully literal living legend @mode7games.bsky.social got the proper shout out!

I've probably played over 150 hours of this game, and I'm still not tired.
