our Kickstarter is now LIVE!! please check it out if the aesthetic appeals to you at all (or if you like mind-bending murder mysteries, butterfly soup, asian diaspora themes or all of the above...) it's an amazing project and i'm truly honoured to be writing music for it!

To get personal for a moment: Losing my house set Deductopia back a full year. But settlements won't compensate me because I can't prove that Deductopia would have made money. Buying Deductopia when it comes out will help prove my job is real work. store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/...
