PS: shout out to @thejaybell.bsky.social, whose game Pip It should really get picked up by a publisher soon. It’s an incredible dice flicking game.

Really interesting game here. I'm excited to see the final product.
After some crafting yesterday, got in a test today of the upgraded prototype for our multivictor Houdini-versus-fake-psychics game for Indie Games Night Market!

ok but actually this is a good time to remind you that DC has no voting representatives in Congress. If you DO have representation, please tell them you want them to do everything possible to withdraw federal law enforcement agencies and the National Guard from DC.

Below, is an extremely offensive image from the game Ace of Spades published by Devir Games. The cavalier use of a slavery theme about a game that could LITERALLY BE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE and the offensive images to push this theme is abhorrent. You all should know better. 1/3

🎲✂️ This one is coming together nicely. Working on some points balancing and how often the blind auction happens.
It's interesting because the points you can earn mid-game directly influence resource value in the end-game.
Kristen and I played pretty fast and loose. Score came out 111 to 129.
