amazing things happening at melbnova. Obviously I purchased. (from @marsbehind.bsky.social!!)

No I don't technically ""own a guitar"" or """"know how to play one"""" but what's important is that this exact Joey face has been my discord icon for the past decade so I had to have it

irisviscaria.itch.ioLEMONBALL by Iris Va party game for virtual pet site enthusiasts :)

and then while procrastinating on dice of 'roos I also made my SECOND EVER TABLETOP GAME (EVEN SILLIER SPECIAL BONUS ENTRY) for #goweaveabasket! you can play LEMONBALL here: irisviscaria.itch.io/lemonball

LEMONBALL is an extremely unserious tribute to the time we accidentally reinvented Gormball at @cashmerekittyart.bsky.social's birthday. for the optimal experience I recommend playing with an official Neop*ts tarot deck if you own one. (and don't forget to back Big Turbs the SUPERB fairy wren xoxox)

irisviscaria.itch.ioDice of 'Roos by Iris Va legally distinct game of chance from Kangaroo Island, South Australia

anyway very excited to announce I made my FIRST EVER TABLETOP GAME for #goweaveabasket: Dice of 'Roos, aka "if TNT are going to file the serial numbers off something from my country, I'm going to file them right back on for this game jam". check it out here: irisviscaria.itch.io/dice-of-roos

dice of 'roos is a very silly tribute to my experiences on That One Virtual Pet Site as an unsupervised kid on the internet 2004-2006, to Quintessential Australian Millennial Experiences, and to a bunch of weirdly specific things that happened in primary school. (if you know you know)

this was supposed to be my zine account but I guess I should put my gamedev things here too now instead of just on my personal??? (<--- zinemaker who made a whole bunch of new zines for FOTP earlier this year and didn't bother to log into the Designated Zine Making Account about it)

itch.ioGo Weave a BasketA game jam from 2026-02-09 to 2026-04-16 hosted by Courtney 🌻 The Sunflower Court. ⭐ join the discord ! When the Neopets TTRPG Kickstarter launched, everyone in the indie design space who even grazed ...

anyway since I last logged into this account I've been weaving some neopian baskets for the #goweaveabasket game jam!!! you can find all the submissions here: itch.io/jam/go-weave... (do yourself a favour etc)

my vibe at conventions is Bonnie from In Stars And Time. I don't table personally but I show up to cons to help my artist friends at their tables like "hello i have homemade muffins and an entire lemon cake in my bag, also I made some biscuits if you want". I AM THE SNACK LEADER!!!!

I was just thinking about [Futility]... I keep saying this, but this stamp rally really is a "Futility" moment... Don't you think it's strange that @cashmerekittyart.bsky.social knew exactly where to find 9 artists for this rally? Almost as if she had received information from someone in the future-

Seek a table that carries a sticker rally sign before it's too late. Come to a table maked H20 within 9 hours to participate. Love from Zero. #zeroescape
