I cannot imagine higher praise than this from the creator of Triple Town. There is so much that can be done with merge games beyond their current free-to-play incarnation and I've had so much fun exploring those possibilities with Mythmatch.

Merge is often relegated to a separate mode or screen area. This keeps it out in the open. As a metaphor: JRPGs tended to put combat in a separate screen. Zelda and action RPGs asked "What if you could engage in combat in the main map?" This design asks that same question about merge mechanics.

One of the more interesting merge games I've come across. Adds in a strong narrative layer. And has merging mechanic as part of more open RPG-like levels. Also there's an interesting real-time aspect to the merging that I hadn't seen before.

For my son's (very limited) video game time, he has requested to play Mythmatch instead of any of his PS5 or Switch games. Melts my little heart.

I made a little Ink validation tool for Mythmatch and it has been a godsend. At first, it just checked if any game data referenced knots that didn't exist. But then I added checking speaker names for typos. Then sentence formatting. So many errors caught and fixed!

It's almost the end of October, which means it's time for my favourite video of the month 👀 November 2025 is packed with over 40 new cozy games, so let's talk about them... Watch it here: youtu.be/WkAhMkUx83g

I'll start with Renate Noel-Tagoe (@insertcat.bsky.social) our VFX artist. I believe Mythmatch was Renate's first paid VFX work, but her talent was obvious in her portfolio. She started out making this building upgrade effect, which is a centerpiece in videos / trailers.

Lara (@larabarbier.bsky.social) has wrapped up all of her writing and editing work for Mythmatch! She was so patient writing treatment after treatment and draft after draft to find a story about belonging and rejection that fit perfectly with the merge mechanics of the game.

📢 We're reopening creator keys requests for our older games! As part of our legacy games celebration, we've got fresh batches of Steam keys for several older titles. If you're a content creator who would like to showcase one of our games, details on how to get keys are below!

Oh @oneofmoo.bsky.social you are making me tear up 🥹 The pleasure has been all mine. This has been my first proper voyage into writing for games and I have been honoured to learn from you and work with you. Thank you for making it a memorable and wonderful experience 🧡✨

I'm doing the 4th edit pass on the Mythmatch script (me, @larabarbier.bsky.social, @carlyreadsinbed.bsky.social, me again) and I still always laugh at my own jokes. Hopefully you all find them funny too. 😬

While we're finishing up Dosa Divas, we're still shopping around two smaller new projects. We wanted to let folks know with enough time and severance. Here's a spreadsheet with info on each person and I'm happy to provide any recommendations for any of them. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We finally made custom controller buttons for Mythmatch instead of using a random set from the internet and I had to put @tinystorm.bsky.social through about 5 iterations because I kept forgetting buttons. Proud at how few buttons the game uses, though.

When you're wife is editing your game's copy and she starts finding jokes inspired by her in the game. 😬

Anyone else using Asana? Seems like it's down and I'm trying to rack my brain for what random tasks I've written up for people lately.

In Hephaestus's Forge, you can get a little Fire Fox Friend (or two) to help out with the crafting. Now at the right size even!

Got some lovely animations for this little guy from Hollie. Might have gotten the initial scale wrong, though.

After the Vertical Slice.
