Here's what I've been working on for the past year. Very exciting to finally share it! PRAISE NEATH

Neath, our next game, is part of Tacticon! We wanted to release a demo by now, but we had to delay it as the project has more or less doubled in scope. :) There will be nothing quite like it, and we're excited to reveal it when it's ready! store.steampowered.com/app/3749830/...

Steam launch day!!! Had an amazing time working on this game. Highly recommend checking it out! store.steampowered.com/app/958520/3...

Cross Blitz 1.0 is finally out! We've been working on this for over 6 years. An absolutely exhaustive undertaking. I learned a lot during its development, and I'm a much stronger artist and writer because of it. I hope its characters and world resonate with people, if even just a little.

This is what happens if you riffle shuffle even once without sleeves

Disappointed Little Nightmares 2 is not co-op. I bought it to play with my wife, but the 2nd character I saw in trailers is an AI companion.

Me listening to the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack at work

Hot take but this was the best button layout design and regressing back to the SNES layout post-gamecube sucks actually

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

if you wanna make video games as a career you have to enjoy the process of making video games. its not enough to just enjoy the end result. same goes for most types of creative works

1 year milestone learning French. Still a long way to go, but I'm sticking with it.

Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse!

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰

Tried Ark Nova for the first time today. Really enjoyed the conservation theme and the strategic depth. It’s a solid game, but definitely requires a good amount of time and focus. #ArkNova #BoardGames

Today marks my last day with the amazing team at Thunder Lotus Games. It’s been a true privilege working alongside such a talented and passionate group of people. I’m beyond excited for 33 Immortals - it’s an incredible game!
