Hey! If I have something new or you're discovering me for the first time, this is the link to check out: hinokodo.com Everything me in one convenient spot.

Very excited that The Return of the King: Trick-Taking Game has been announced. I am very proud of how the game came out and can’t wait for people to get their hands on it.

Today is the day! youtu.be/o-y9DG64KbQ?...

Ben has been showing us his game and it's development over the past year+ on the Atopia discord WIP wednesday show & Tell meetup. It's been really cool to see it grow up from the skeleton it was to the giant it is now. lot of cool ideas here! People are so clever!

When you go to a convention do you try to get your games signed by the creators? Why/why not? I gotta find @patrickleder.bsky.social someday to complete my ahoy box. (And maybe an intern or whoever else touched it, gotta learn the deets)

I've learned so much about game design and publishing from the think tank in the Atopia discord server. Here's a cool update about some of the projects coming out of members of the community.

someone point these 142 folks to the pondus campaign. If we're throwing money away, boy do i have a game that you'll actually play and will help a bunch of folks get to actually play it someday. Surely all this stuff takes up a whole kallax. This cost doesn't include shelf costs. wild.

Happy Friday y'all. I made a little film talking about the top 5 games that influenced me and Pondus's journey. If you like any of the games I talk about in the video, Pondus is likely to be up your alley. Can you guess the games based on the thumbnail? youtu.be/iZQEsQXOoGY

I hope this gets fully funded, it looks mad good!! We need more fresh tabletop stuff

Some very handsome work from @hinokodo.com, Pondus looks visually joyful as ever

Freshly Uploaded Pondus video: I show off the #boardgame prototype I made, teach you the game, and play a solo adventure session. (And my cat Syn visits us for a second) youtu.be/hU8T8w2g8g8 (I think this is much better than my stream the other week)

While we wait for @boardgamegeek.com to approve our page, I thought I'd go ahead and post a design diary over on the Kickstarter. The seed of Pondus, where it's come from since Oct 2022, very much on the path to where it is now. It's fun to see the changes! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mim...

One of my favorite games of all time.

I prefer the using language like "human made" as "no AI" feels negative and the other option presents the same idea in a positive way. @hinokodo.com has some excellent, free assets people can use as well! hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

Adam works so hard so you can play harder.

Had some ad ideas. have a favorite?
