It seems as though my cat Esper (take a guess about the name) found a very different use for my additional copies of Forest Floor. She's been perching on top of these to look a little bit further out of the window as the first time l've actually managed to take a photograph of it.

The logistics, distribution, and marketing side of design is honestly soul-crushing. It makes me dread selling my work and even creating new things, knowing I have to face that admin wall again.

I am developing FURNETIX, a light-hearted spelling game with a dyslexic feel. This is a prototype card! It uses difficult dictionary words, but I add funny "quips" at the bottom to keep the tone fun. What do you think of this design?

It's so exciting to see people finally receiving their copies of the game! I've been sent a few messages from people letting me know their games have arrived, which is just fantastic news! (If you guys have photos send them my way)

When you just want to design board games where you spend most of your time organising Logistics rather than thinking of game ideas, you know that you're an indie developer.

We're pushing hard towards shipping , but my design brain never stops! I've started concept work on a brand new game—a very silly and creative spelling and arguing game. As the visual design needs to be unserious and playful,I would highly value your early thoughts on this direction.

Talk about a dramatic finale! The last couple of days of the campaign coincided with some major tariff announcements impacting global shipping. It's been a crash course in international economics, to say the least! 😅Stay tuned for updates #crowdfundingcampaign #tariffs #globalshipping
