One of the best things I’ve done for myself is sign up for a monthly stationary club at a local shop in Portland.

Shoutout to Reggie’s Manga Shop for making me excited to get my mail each month! 😍
A picture of some stationary items on top of a keyboard mat on a desk. The keyboard mat is of orange and yellow shaded flowers with light sage green leaves. The stationary items include a Japanese Candy in a green wrapper, a sticker sheet with small food items, a thin apple washi tape, a notepad with bingsoo themed images, and a postcard with a squirrel pouring some tea.

Almost 10 years of Undertale fills me with ✨ determination ✨
A graphic in the style of an Undertale I -game text box responding to the question of what Undertale means to you. Jenny (Kimchica) responded: “Undertale has taught me — and continues to reinforce, the power of choosing hope, kindness, and community, even - or especially - when it feels like it’d be easier to disengage. “ In the upper left is a pixel art avatar Jenny drew while on mobile: a white cat with pointy ears, an open mouthed smile, and pink blush lines.

Thank you for all the bday wishes, everyone! 🥹💗🙏✨ wanted to share my bday hair fun — bringing Rumi’s ponytail to life (thanks to my hair stylist, Sarah Heasley! I am abysmal at doing my own hair!)

Also excuse me being awkward as I try to capture a side picture and get as much hair in as possible 😆

The focus is intended for her purple hair, which is styled in a braided/layered ponytail reminiscent of Rumi from K-pop Demon Hunters.

In Is This Seat Taken? by @potipoti.studio your mission is to organize groups of people according to their preferences. It’s a cozy, no-pressure logic puzzle game where you’re in charge of who sits where!

So, yes, while bittersweet, I appreciate the ways players have already opened up and shared personal experiences as they've played.

It means a lot to see the game resonating with so many, and I sincerely hope that everyone finds even a little comfort as they go through it.
A screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. Alta is standing in a wooded area with the sun glowing orange and pink. She is holding a basket and in the distance, the roof and a window of the tea shop peek out behind the trees. A screenshot from the game Wanderstop. Alta is standing in a grassy field by the pluffin house. She's holding a pluffin, and there are three standing around her, facing different directions. There are trees surrounding the field, the closest ones in shade, but the ones in the distance glowing pink as the sun sets. A screenshot from the game Wanderstop. Alta talks with a customer inside of a warmly lit and colorful tea shop. Text says: Customer: Say there, local citizen! Have you found yourself troubled lately by malevolent spirits? A screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. Alta and Gerald the Knight stand in a grassy clearing, talking. Text says: Gerald: Then I will absolutely drink tea! As part of my GRAND ADVENTURE!

But, I also believe any opportunity we have to use media and reflect on our lived experiences is a positive one: this game provides an opportunity to do that!

While experiencing exhaustion - for whatever reason - can feel isolating, we're not alone in these feelings!

It's been slightly bittersweet doing the marketing for Wanderstop, primarily because while I'm happy folks are connecting with the game and it's themes (catharsis is important!) it's also highlighted to me just how much we're all just...tired.

Wanderstop is out now on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox! 🍵✨

When I joined @ivyroadgames.bsky.social, I knew immediately they were making something truly special! I'm so proud of everyone on the team, count myself lucky to be working with them, and can't believe the day is finally here!

Sweet sweet data! 📊✨

The authors mention this as well, but hopefully this helps devs make more informed decisions and publishers determine whether they're being competitive.

We can only push for a stronger industry when information like this is accessible + visible!

Two things that made me happy today —

☀️ Outside time with Rosie
💗 Affogatos with @flatmouse.bsky.social

I hope you all had nice things (big and small) happen to you today, too!
A photograph of a dilute calico cat on steps outside. It’s a sunny day and she’s smelling the plants and looking up, very happily.

The background is of a window at the cafe, with a stained glass art piece in front of the window, and it’s a bright sunny day.

🙋‍♀️Question for my game dev pals who've released demo pages on Steam!

If we were to remove the demo then restore it for future events, do reviews persist? I figure yes, because it'd be the same app ID, but since I've never done it before, I thought I'd double-check and ask the hive mind! 😄Ty ty!
A snip of the Steam description portion of Wanderstop's page. It shows the key art of the game with a green demo banner on the top left.

You’re hired as a groundskeeper for a weekend. What could go wrong?

Grunn is a near perfect blend of comforting monotony, unsettling moments, and making you feel like the smartest person ever. Garden and piece together what’s going on. A 2024 must-play.

January can suck it, but my cats are perfect and bring me joy. I hope they bring you a little joy too.

We’ve got a napping Rosie on the left and Scrambles enjoying nature on the right 💗
A photograph of a dilute calico cat with a pink nose napping by a sunny window. Her blue fluffy cat bed is propped up between the back of the sofa and the sill, creating a perfect groove for her to lounge. Her paw and leg are hanging a bit over the edge of the pillow. An orange cat standing behind a bush on a sunny day, face in the needles, smelling all the good smells. He’s staring off into the distance, letting the senses take over.

A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To. The background is of a hill on a sunny, blue-sky kinda day with some leafy trees and deer in the background. Two characters are in the foreground: Samar (wearing a giant purple witch's hat, gradient green hair, headphones, a yellow crop top, and brightly colored coveralls hanging down) and Kanon (a angel with flowers in their wings and a all-white outfit with gold accents and jewelry). Samar says, "Okay, here we go! I love that, kinda like Taco Tuesday!" A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To. The background is of a purple PC cafe with neon signs, desktop computers, and many plants and books on shelves. Samar and Kedsi are in a Versus match showing off the panel de pon style gameplay. A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To. The background is of a beach at golden hour, the skies pink and orange. There are palm trees as well as a workout area and vending machine. Samar (giant purple witch's hat, gradient green hair, headphones, yellow crop top, and colorful overalls hanging without the overall part up) and Iskandar (three turquoise horns, purple/pink short hair, white very skimpy crop with delicate chains, very short shorts, and a water bottle) are in the scene. Iskandar says, "My crop tops are full to bursting, but I still feel so...Empty" A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To. The background is of a forest clearing in the early evening. There are some fireflies among the trees and a fairy circle (ring of mushrooms) in the grass. This is during Endless mode, so there's just one player on the screen (Samar) along with Froggo on the right of the board.
