Dollhouse is what I’d call a “job game”, like CAIN or the world of darkness games, where you and your fellow players are thrusted into a role prescribed by the setting, where failing to play that role has dire consequences. (4/7)

These contracts work in a well considered legal gray area, allowing for all sorts of work that would be impossible for a human contractor; espionage, assassination, market manipulation, anything someone with connections and the money could want. (3/7)

In Dollhouse (the game and in universe corporation) you are assigned the role of “Handler”, a person tasked with dispatching, managing, and recruiting “Dolls”, biomechanical agents that are contracted to complete jobs for the Dollhouse and external clients. (2/7)

Now that the preorder has been out for a month and the final files are sent over and approved, it's about time to show off what I've been working on since I finished DAWN. A game I plan to Itchfund soon called "Dollhouse" (1/7)

We've updated the renders for DAWN on lionwingpublishing.com!
These new ones should be a bit more accurate to how it'll look when it gets to you.

The "big news" for DAWN has been delayed somewhat, so expect that later, but the votes are in on what people want for the next monthly update. I'm working on some "Hybrid Techniques" for DAWN that'll let you combine the power of two normally non-synergistic powers.

It took probably hundreds of hours, but DAWN is in Affinity now! It's a rough conversion, but this lets me make the changes needed to put it to print, so expect that to come around soon!

I've decided to start making monthly content drops on my Patron!
This month (and prob the next few months) is DAWN, keep an eye out for it at the end of the month.

(yes I knew this was the day before today, no I didn't google "international event calendar" so I had a reason to make a bundle.)
