Out here crying on a Monday after playing "A Butterfly". Seriously, for the price of like a small chocolate bar, check it out on Steam. It's weird and surreal and poetic in the way only a video game can be! 🦋

Alright, once again skidding in at the very end, but I'm ALMOST done my #BreathlessJam2 entry, Breathless in Dungeon! Think classic fantasy meets Dungeon Meshi and... Fear and Hunger?? The Dungeon can just eat you sometimes.
It's another little foldie game, so a bit rough, but I might expand it!

If you see this, quote a game with a 10/10 soundtrack

Ringin' in the new year with a hopeful resolution: to play more of my TTRPG collection. Starting with the whacky "This Frog is Ruining my Dungeon Crawl," by @shoutingcrow.bsky.social and then starting up a little campaign for myself in "Kal-Arath" by @castlegrief.bsky.social.

Having never had the chance to play, but watched multiple folks play it/talk about it... this would be awesome.
Then again, Lunacid exists, so I'm surviving in a world that'll never have this happen.

My recap thing for 2024 ⚔️
- Finished Lordsworn to 1.0!
- Hit "print" for a 1000 physical copies of said beast.
- Finally published a game about Pigeons.
- Survived.
I'm not going to set any lofty goals yet for 2025, except to maybe change Survive to Thrive again, gods being kind.
