Nothing says "publisher prepping for 2026" like adding "Both of us promise to never never NEVER use genAI in this project, and if either of us do, deal's fuck'n OFF" clause to your publishing contracts.

At work on a new codex

Let’s say hello to this week’s Ojibwemowin word: Boozhoo! Boozhoo is the most common word you’ll hear in Reclaim! It’s a simple and polite way to greet someone. Aaniin is another way to say hi as well!

"I wonder what it will be if you start again" Start again. Tonight. Today. Tomorrow.

My drawing study of Nanaco Yashiro’s (one of my most favorite illustrators) eyes. I love how they feel like characters. #watercolor #illustration

Thank you so much to everyone who followed us or wishlisted Reclaim! over the weekend. Your support means everything to the team. We’ll be sharing more about the game over the next few months, so stick around!

Lol the crazy thing is, no, you’re not running out of good ideas. There are tons of great ideas everywhere. You’re just not willing to fund them because you’re all cowards.

Wake up, Miskwaa! It’s our very first #wishlistwednesday! We’re Reclaim! An Ojibwe-language point & click adventure coming early 2026.

Meet Miskwaa, a spirited Ojibwe girl from Minneapolis! Waking in the woods, she finds herself lost in a forest full of helpful animals and spirits. To reunite with her grandmother, she'll need to brush up on her Ojibwemowin and examine what it means to be traditional in a modern world.

You will be visited by three spirits

THIS IS IT! We're finally getting ready for launch. Fans of Ojibwemowin and video games please check out Reclaim and add to your wish list!

Shopping small is meaningful!

Been enjoying doing some analog work recently. I kinda take for granted that Inktober can shake me from my comfort zone. The Inktober was even more fun cuz I discovered a whole box of alcohol markers for $13 at TJ MAXX. #maxinista

This leads me to say something really controversial. Reconnecting Natives should reconnect with their relatives and their Native Nation BEFORE they use that reconnection as a platform, otherwise they are pouring from an empty cup.

Been enjoying #Inktober this year. Mostly cuz I actually have time for it now

Oh do people love cartoons? You wouldn't know it by how cartoons are treated

In the 15 years I’ve worked in the entertainment industry, I’ve never been able to have a big in person screening of my work for the region that raised me. Screening a film at @siffnews.bsky.social has been a huge goal of mine and I’m truly happy that Pow! is the project that got me there!

This is all fascinating. I had no idea Ryan Coogler negotiated a contract where he kept final cut, first-line profits, and the rights to SINNERS after 25 years. But the idea of studio execs FREAKING OUT about it ("What if EVERY in-demand creative wants rights over their own work?") is even better.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.
