Good news everyone! We've released some viciously smart dinosaurs into the streets, its a mess out there but everyone was calling for it today, soooo... wait rapt-ure day? Oh no

Things are scary as hell out there - remember in times like these that it is not wasted effort to spend time supporting your friends. Check in on the people you care about. Rant, cry, maybe even laugh at the absurdity of it all. When there's a deficit of hope, a little solidarity goes a long way.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to be joining the Witchstarter 2025 panel hosted by Kickstarter! Will be discussing magical projects with some fellow creators. Join for tips, sneak peeks, and a live Q&A: luma.com/8hsbrez8

I think I'd rather have longer emmy speeches and less of all the presenters?

I have tried to like Silksong, but Silksong *aggressively* tries at every opportunity to make me not like it. So, uh, you win I guess? There're some wonderful ideas and art and story in there, but it's frankly a chore to play. Difficulty inflation via annoyance and bad UX is to me, uninteresting.

Oh hey look it's some ice! Maybe we should slide rocks on it

Now *that* was a Nintendo Direct :o

Storyboarded what I think is an awesome video idea for Mystic Curling Club and nooow I just have to figure out how to execute the vision. H m m.

Today was the worst (computer asplode) BUT We made a baked pasta with chicken and squash and broccoli and of course - cheese:

We have a demo copy of Mystic Curling Club in the First Look area of #PAX this weekend! If you're there, go slide, flick and/or roll some dice!

I wasn't expecting a bonus Game Changer episode today, but there it was! What a great way to start the week, one of my faves of all time I think. Plus I cooked lunch while watching it, productive hour :D

Streaming some playtest streams! Twitch.tv/asmadigames Dice dice dice dice dice

ah yes, my favorite actor from BSG, Legally Distinct Olmos (still excited for the game)

I played this thing last night - it's an exchange of five dollars for a few hours (3ish?) of some clever but reasonably simple puzzles. It's just joyous in a way that was fun to experience. Play this thing! You, too, can have a little bit of joy, as a treat. store.steampowered.com/app/2702170/...

My brother & I collaborated on a game jam submission - The Unseeing Depths! Play as a blind mage, perceiving the world via sound, as they delve into the Depths in search of a mystic stone, but soon discover that they're not alone fandangalo.itch.io/the-unseeing... www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyrK...

More now!

It's streaming time again! twitch.tv/asmadigames - we're playing a fascinating weird adventure/mystery/puzzle thing.

Using AI to analyze whether someone else used AI and being at all confident in the results you get from that is a bit silly. Also, here, have an mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmdash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (this post written by a human)

It is porch day

RIP RedZone, heeeere come the non-stop gambling ads

Our town has a cool pop-up art installation, solar powered and out in the town park on display!

Post-GenCon nap is now complete, that was.....a lot of Gen Con. It was a million funs to play games and demo for everyone who visited - including members of over 42 real-life Curling Clubs from all over the US and Canada!

Bizarre as heck to be at Gen Con and think: Oh, its nice outside, I'll go for a walk

Most ridiculously depressing thing today was someone who came up to our booth asking if we were selling a game. We were not, because we don't make that game! (And no, not Asmodee). Why did he think this? He showed phone with Gemini stating "Asmadi Games, producers of [game X], bla bla bla" (1/2)

It's Gen Con time! We are in booth 1523, selling Innovation Ultimate, Innovation 4th Edition, and many pins :D We're also demoing the upcoming Chess Joker and Mystic Curling Club, come visit!

woooooo 7AM at the airport! zzz

About time to sleep and then get on a plane and then go to a Gen Con! Who's ready for gaaaaaaames

#GenCon arts and crafts party!!! See the final results of our assembly in booth 1523

Yup - if you don't know about this, be sure to save yourself a bunch of money on your Office subscription for the next year.

Now live!

Today at 3PM on Twitch, we'll be recording demos of our upcoming games Mystic Curling Club, and Chess Joker! They'll be posted to YouTube after. If you can't make it to Gen Con, here's a chance to peek at our cool new stuff :) twitch.tv/asmadigames 3PM Eastern

t-shirts coming to gen con, yesssss :D

I just thought of a pretty horrifying justification for Star Trek crews and whatnot being obsessed with 20th century/early 21st century music, movies, etc. It was the last golden era of human creativity before AI slop took over! Oof.

It is on like the Donkey Kong, in that it is time to play Donkey Kong! DK: Bananza on stream now - twitch.tv/asmadigames

More testing and game adventures today! Going live at 3PM Eastern for some Relics of the Forge and maybe a bit of Chess Joker. Come visit, twitch.tv/asmadigames

So I'm of two minds on this. 1) Yeah, bye WeTransfer - absolute garbage way to change your ToS. 2) I fully believe Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and every other large player is feeding their AI training with every document and file uploaded to the cloud, so we're probably screwed anyways.

it is sunny porch vibes day

We are streaming more testing of Relics of the Forge on Twitch at 3PM Eastern (just a few minutes!) Come say hi and/or watch lots of dice be rolled.

Looking to get in on Innovation? Here's info on availability, and direct purchase options for Europe/US: boardgamegeek.com/thread/35385...

Benji and I have had some wild 2p games of Innovation Ultimate the last couple days. We got into the 11 cards today, which we're absolutely wild Really enjoying this big box version @asmadigames.bsky.social

Don't worry, no generative "AI" engines will lose their jobs in today's cuts. This is, and will continue to be disgusting.

Thunderstorms and pretty sunset!

Thank you to everyone who bought a horned child so far! We shipped off a couple today! Fyi when you pull her from the box, her legs might be a little wobbly from traveling. Squish around the filling and her legs will recover. Only the best massages for Goaticorn.

Remember when people were grumbling about how improbable House of Cards was? Totally non-believable, nobody could stage power grabs that audacious, bla bla bla

Test Stream Chess Stream! Get a sneak peek at Carl Chudyk's latest design - Chess Joker, live on twitch at twitch.tv/asmadigames I will be playing games against @joekim.bsky.social - and chat can help him pick moves!

If you missed out on the campaign for Good Puppers Too, pre-orders are available for a short time on BackerKit: good-puppers-too.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Living without real functioning A/C in the two hottest Boston days in recent memory has been unfun.

Dear Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Amazon, and everyone else - it's a hot summer! Please consider turning off your absolutely useless AI data centers to conserve electricity and cooling costs. Imagine: for the loss of absolutely zero value, we could save millions AND prevent brownouts + blackouts!

Going to try out The Alters - twitch.tv/asmadigames Hurray for Game Pass!
