I don't think this is how copyright works.

i wrote a small (one-page) game on my patreon about three types of truth produced during play www.patreon.com/posts/140112...

I've discovered that so far my least favorite thing in designing games is making tables. I often know I need to make a table/chart but just dread having to fill it with stuff.

And if you're not interested in buying the games but might be interested in helping send us to the award show regardless, here's a link for that www.gofundme.com/f/send-us-to...

I did it.

Delightful

Gotta love it when one of your games inspires another designer. It's a checkbox on my "Making It In Game Design" list for sure.

Oh man I've just been struck by a bit of divine inspiration, here...

Was just thinking about how I need to playtest MERELY PLAYERS (it's been such a hard time getting folks together!) and passed these on the street, glaring at me.

I can't do this because of the timing, but you should!

I made my first sale! Woohoo! Check out the games in this bundle individually, or the whole bundle at once!

I had completely forgotten that this anime existed, much less that I had seen it and been moved by it, until stumbling across a clip posted on YouTube. Chirin No Suzu!

New community copies up as promised.

That's a wrap on the #IndieAdventureJam! Reminder that my games are on sale through the beginning of October for a very good cause.

I joined the #BringOutYourGhosts Jam and the #ContinueYourGame Jam with this in-progress game, which was originally started for @comemartin.bsky.social's #PopeGameJam but which sort of fell apart on me when I just couldn't work out the mechanics on time. In this devlog I discuss my tinkering.

Fantastic.

Going through my Joined Jams, unjoining ones there's no way in Hell I'm gonna hit a deadline for.

itch.io is really messing with my ability to fundraise on itch.io by being broken lol

Quoting and sharing because I find this conversation really interesting.

I launched a bundle! Whee!

I launched a bundle! Whee!

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Where is itch...? Is it safe? Is it... all right?

Okay so the deadline on buying tickets is October 6th! Consider helping me out and I'll give you early access to MERELY PLAYERS when it drops.

This is one of the coolest write-ups ever! @the-soloist.itch.io plays through a solo Star Borg adventure and presents the story in such a rad way. Definitely worth a read through! soloist.substack.com/p/solo-sessi...

It's coming up on 6 months since I uploaded this game, and I've gotten better at designing booklets in the interim. Hm... maybe time for a "remaster"...

Among other things, I'm really proud of how this one *looks.* I never thought the actual graphic/layout portion of all this would be so fun.

you know what? fuck professionalism. Red Box Games here telling you they don't want your business.

It's so lovely to see new Standing Ovation games being made!

Okay! So just in time for #SoloSept, I've finally released HEART THROUGH STOMACH, a cozy, home cooked journaling meal based on @innocentgoblin.bsky.social's Standing Ovation SRD. I've had this idea for over a year now and I'm so glad to have it done.

A milestone undone by commemorating it.

Honored to have gotten some really fantastic feedback from @exercitodosmemes.bsky.social today on the booklet. Still interested in getting some playtesting going, even if you'd prefer to take it for a spin with your own adventure party and just getting me your feedback...

👀

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

OKAY. SO. I'm a playwright, and my Off-Broadway debut was nom'd for a bunch of awards! Tix are $$$, tho, and the cost to send my talented/nominated cast to the ceremony is not being covered. I WANT TO FIX THAT. All proceeds from sales of any #TTRPG will go toward their tix. gowanusaurusrex.itch.io

This could be a fun game for #SoloSept btw........

Shout out to the games community because I asked this question on Discord and was surprised to get a response like "actually, I do that all the time! that's my specialty!" Big thanks to @bigpuffingames.bsky.social

Coming at some point this week! (Posting it now so that I can give myself a deadline.) gowanusaurusrex.itch.io

A cool structure, although I'm already behind :-(

#solosept I did a playthrough of Florashoppe by @moontomes.neocities.org! It's, ironically, my first game for Solosept! As an artist, I love games that prompt you to draw and sketch. And getting to draw the Sprites was fun.

More of my work for #SoloSept -ember.

I just learned about #SoloSept and naturally I'm very excited.

The first ever piece I uploaded to itch.io used #Twine and was called [Untitled Roko's Basilisk Simulator]. I used AI to generate some of the material in here, as it is specifically about an AI training module being overrun by a malevolent intelligence. It's not done, per se. Deserves another pass.
