If you're still on the lookout for more news from Royal Rogue, I'll put out a reddit post soonish.

Unfortunately, the news aren't all great, in that our lead dev has cancer, and we wanted to wait until we knew he'd survive before posting another update.

It's bad, but not all bad. Stay tuned.

We have a book three cover! I think the extra time our artist put in was worth it :)

How’s our bookbub promo going, you ask?

I have the great fortune of knowing this crow. Give him a follow if you like, you won't be disappointed.
Crabs are neat.

If you're not a KU subscriber, and you've been considering giving the series a shot, this is an ideal opportunity to do that. The giveaway is not exclusive to Bookbub members, but it is ONLY during those two days.

Aaaand more stuff that I like!

I interviewed Joshua Rettew a while ago, and he was kind enough to send me a preview of this novel back then. While I didn't have the capacity to rep him, I think it has grown to be a VERY good book, and a masterclass on in media res.
Check it!

The talented Sarah Murphy made the original art, and the original interpretation of Liv Brodbeck, the protagonist of my upcoming Guild Mage series, and she's just finished this version. In the audiobook, Liv will be voiced by the very awesome Kristin James!

As we close in on two weeks until release, the first volume of the Guild Mage series is now on Goodreads! I have no idea who rated it - maybe some #royalroad readers? But thank you!

Last but not least, here are two versions of Cat from Stray Cat Strut! At first, I was thinking about going for a darker, more mature style for the game, but I'm so happy we found our current artist, Kaburapixels! His more humorous take on the genre brings some lighthearted fun that we defo need!

I also figure I should probably show some stuff from the game that we've been working on. Pictured are Viv from Calamitous Bob (@authoralexgilbert.bsky.social), Matt from The Path of Ascension, and Vincent from Death Loot and Vampires.

Oh snap, I didn't post this here yet, did I?
I probably should be better about these social media thingies :D
Anyway, have some LitRPG video game, you guys!

Oooookay.

So, I just logged in here for the first time since February, and was greeted by a humongous amount of "This person followed you" Notifications.

First of all, UwU.
Secondly, thanks a lot for the follows! I promise you won't regret it! :)

Stay tuned...

PSA: it takes 10 reviews before the Amazon algo takes you seriously! :)
I am just learning about the importance of reviews now, while on the road to publishing my first book.

Keeping up with my trend of using my social media followship for good, I would be remiss to not point you guys toward ROVE.

It's the first game of a friend, answering a question you never dared ask:

"Diablo, but also Monkey Island?!"

No better way to start my posting history than the cover art of what started it all: A Journey of Black and Red, first cover, by Antti Hakosaari. www.artstation.com/haco
The purple version was the first attempt but obviously it had to be red.

So, this week, I got Ryn, writing as Johnathan Smidt on the podcast!
It was a wonderful discussion, and I can't wait to share it with all y'all.
Also, I will be at Talk&Game Berlin next month, and you should come, too!
