Starting to process photos! It’s so amazing to see these moments after our volunteers, sponsors, speakers, showcasers, artists, and supporters came together to make such a special event. More soon, including a form for feedback so that we can make our future events feel even better for everyone <3

At PIGCON last weekend a woman approached my table wanting to know all about what I make. I showed her each game and she said all kinds of sweet things, and before she walked away she very seriously said, "I'm sure your games have saved a few lives". I don't want to forget this, so I'm sharing it ❤️‍🩹

Some of the docs that are still on my desktop as a result of organizing PIGCON:

A photo of me dealing a betting slip to a demanding fiend ready to make a wager and The Rat Man holding a box of gold behind me as we played Bloodsport Gambler at PIGCON! Cannot believe this picture exists 😂

Okay okay just reposted a big ol' batch!! We are very tired from the weekend so very briefly: THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED, YOU ALL ARE MAKING THIS A WONDERFUL, SAFE, & ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY FOR SO MANY PEOPLE 💖 more soon :)

PIGCON vibes were immaculate. It felt like we were all just hanging out at a friend's house playing video games and talking. The showcase was fantastic, I spent too much money at artist alley. The LIVE T SHIRT PRINTING. The talks!! The music performances blew my socks off. Special stuff!

Still reeling from showing my game at PIGCON, what an incredible weekend! The atmosphere, the games, and the people were amazing- the artist alley and talks were top notch. So much work went into this and the organizers deserve all the props for a successful, fun and safe event!

Removing the "➡️ PIGCON" from my display name

I’m getting too emotional in the laundromat about PIGCON this past weekend, about all the people who showed up to celebrate art, creativity, fun, collaboration, and weirdness.

Had a great time at @pigsquad.com's inaugural PIGCON over the weekend! Ran some Confusing Lands demos, played a bunch of cool games and did my first PICO-8 workshop. Looking forward to the next one!

Witnessed a game called BLOODSPORT GAMBLING where you bet on who lives and dies among wretched nasty fighters with terrible secrets at PIGCon
