Citizen Sleeper 2 received the "Code the Rights - Best Game 2025" award from Amnesty International earlier today, at the CEEGA Awards in Poznań 🥳

It recognizes "games that address human rights topics in an innovative way" and it's a really cool initiative:

First time I’ve worked on a comic project since I was drawing my webcomic as a teenager!

So nice to get back into the form and genuinely a dream collaboration for me.

The anthology is full of other amazing projects too, its an easy project to recommend backing 🚀

So hyped to be part of @peow.bsky.social’s ExMag volume 6!

I had the pleasure of working on an original sci-fi short with one of my all time favourite artists, @decassette.bsky.social, telling a story of deep time and alien ecologies 🌱

Back the anthology here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/peo...

Always looks nice in Japanese...

The deskmat is especially cool, @blackysan.bsky.social did the art, with a old game manual/back of the manga feel and absolutely nailed it.

Another Next Fest demo that caught my attention (thanks to. Vice piece that mentioned Citizen Sleeper) is Holder of Place. A super stylish autobattler that mixes cyberpunk and fantasy vibes to great effect, and with a UI to die for 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/3732730/...

Managed to scrabble together enough dice to form a legion. Really enjoyed the vibe and pacing as they held out against the endless undead on the island fortress of Harasay.

Will definitely be trying to bring this to my players for a campaign finale—awesome work.

It can feel like facing a wall of pessimism when reading and thinking about the future of games, so I’m deeply thankful for Despelote and Many Nights a Whisper reminding me of the human heart of the medium that will never go away.

You can’t stop people telling stories with the forms they love.

An incredible surprise arrived at my studio today, this gorgeous model by @skyburkson.bsky.social commissioned by @fellowtraveller.games to celebrate the 3rd Birthday of Citizen Sleeper! 💛

I am feeling very lucky to have such an amazing publisher along with me for this wild journey.
May 6, 2025 at 1:05 PM
...and also is the very first time you have been able to play as a non-sleeper in the Citizen Sleeper universe(!)

It features some more fresh art from @blackysan.bsky.social and I'm really looking forward to players digging into it!

Good luck, and watch out for those haulers 🚚

And last but not least, SPINDLEJACK, an experiment in solo TTRPG design I have been picking away at. With previous anniversaries we often release merch, this time I wanted something anyone could print at home and play.

It's designed to be playable by those who have never played a TTRPG before...
May 5, 2025 at 4:23 PM
And yes, we have new art to represent the first 2 games in the series, the "Helion Collection" as we have come to call them.

You'll see this on Steam and other storefronts, and hopefully in other places in future too. As usual Guillaume did an incredible job! 👌
