Hi hi, still alive, just deep in dev. The Coldest Shoulder, our folk-horror roadtrip TTRPG, finished playtest phase. Ticket to Tithe, a cozy fae tour-guide solo game, goes to playtest in December. Hoping to launch both early 2025. And I am considering runnning a small KS to print The Archivium.

reminder, if you are supporting indie developers this black friday, Itch's Creator day has all sales going to the developer for a 24 hr period. All my own soloRPGs will be 50% off - itch.io/s/170401/bla...

Oh what the actual fuck Youtube?! I now have to pay to not listen to people talk slow? What complete and utter horseshit.

Today I had a 6 hour nap, followed by takeout because I felt too lazy to cook dinner, followed by 2 hours of just staring out into space doing nothing. I should never be allowed afternoon naps. I am utterly zombified

We just dropped our last planned expansion for The Archivium, bringing in a way to learn the arcane and dark arts. To celebrate we put together the full collection bundle - 600 pages of #darkacademia / #cozyhorror #soloRPG madness Grab: itch.io/s/159345/the... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

I am slowly getting back into content creation! The rigging is still not there but attempts are being made. Be a dear and drop a view on this short: www.youtube.com/shorts/f3eH7... I am participating in a 30 day challenge where views can help me win art school subscription. #artchallenge #vtuber

Just a quick reminder to help support your favourite streamers! Remember to throw a !lurk, a quick "hey" or channel point redeem so that your view is being counted on the purple app. There is news going around stating that lurkers are now being treated as bots which has yet to be confirmed!

It irks me that I cant use Paypal on Steam or Kickstarter. Getting the money out of Paypal in my country is a pain in the backside, let me at least use it to support other developers!

Calling into the radio station to request a song and then waiting with your fingers on the record button of the tape deck because you have to time it just right to cut off the DJ speaking over the bloody song!

so, about that roadmap... www.patreon.com/posts/mid-ye... I used to write Devlogs every month, but then I forgot / got lazy. Figured it might be good to look back at everything we've done so far and all the things still coming. I am all verklempt. This is more than I ever thought I'd accomplish

Thank you ADHD for sometimes masking the autism quirks. Yay for a new special interest every month. Not yay for having the opposite problem with verbal communication i.e. overly fast and often told to calm down. Thank you mom for over correcting eye-contact, I guess? Now I stare into people's souls

I may or may not have something a-brewing and a-meowing up my sleeve.

Archivium #soloRPG Drop! Codex 4: Idle Hands & Interludes now live A cozy, low-stakes expansion adding to downtime and off-shift moments: Campus traditions Town events Weekend parties Weather and seasons Hobbies Free for all Patreon members (no paid tier needed): www.patreon.com/posts/codex-...

Gird your arteries. I spy a Tiny toothy shadow on the horizon...

I just realized something. When I started working on #TheArchivium all I wanted to build was a game where you create spooky books for a spooky library. Now the more I add to it, the more I veer away from horror into the cozy aspects. It's becoming Sims: University the #TTRPG.

Should I, the world's slowest "artist", participate in #ArtFight this year?

someone is playing The Archivium?? on stream?? 😭🖋️💀 I hope the Archive treats you kindly (it won’t lol) y’all go show them some love on Friday!! #solorpg #ttrpg #TheArchivium #vtuber

I made a thing! born out of corporate day job frustrations

Shaun (Shaun of the Dead) + Chandler Bing (Friends) + Stuart Bloom (The Big Bang Theory) + Nick Miller (New Girl) what does this say about me? Am I the comic relief?!

I may or may not be giving into temptation. Again. Damn you, dopamine starved brain! ALSO, why are all the games I am working on this year horror?! Is it me? Am I the problem.

Me: I am so tired of DnD, it's time for new systems Also Me: yes, but... I don't have these in my collection yet Also, also me: let's book a 3 hour DnD session for tomorrow! First day #comicconCapetown haul.

Good morning, Cape Town! Time to get cracking on the laziest possible cosplay for #comicconCapetown #ccct2025 It's my first comiccon, wish me luck. My social anxiety is screaming at me to abandon ship, but we drove 4 hours to get here 🤦

New Personal Reflection on game dev post up on the Writ & Ruin blog: open.substack.com/pub/writruin... #soloRPG #ttRPG #IndieGame #ttrpgcommunity

sometimes we (i) forgot

Wrote a little bit of design theory and musings on What Makes a Game Replayable open.substack.com/pub/writruin...

Ever so frustrated you just want to peel your own face off? I don't know how that would help the situation but I crave violence. Coworkers are surely testing me today. I want to deglove my meatsuit and haunt nightmares.

Shout out to the ppl working on their life projects and chasing dreams, especially if it involved learning 8-12 different new skills and took years, decades, to get everything ready and never got around to it but the end of the world is a convincing motive for completing that thing you said you’d do

I may or may not be working on a new project and am still waffling on an art direction for it.

I am considering messy crazy just crawled out me coffin hair. Not that I would have a coffin, having never been buried. Whatevs. Also I seem to have forgotten how to do a painterly style :( No, I will not be taking queries about why the rigging is still not done 5 months later. I suck. That's why.

Codex 03: The Academic Register is now live! Expand your Archivium playthrough with classes, electives, exams, and extracurricular chaos. + community copies of the base game on Itch 💀 Itch: lichlight.itch.io/archivium-co... DTRPG: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #ttrpg #solorpg #darkacademia

I have a millionty things to do: layout for the upcoming expansion, writing for the one after that, recording an actual play for youtube, finishing my doggone rigging. Instead I thought: how about I do none of those and start a #soloRPG and #gamedev blog instead? open.substack.com/pub/writruin...

Much ❤️ to The Soloist for featuring my game, The Archivium. Go give the base game a try! Our next expansions drop this coming week: Codex 2 - Love Beyond the Veil is a haunted post office liminal adventure Codex 3 – The Academic Register brings university mechanics, degrees, electives (the HORROR)

Bit of imposter syndrome this morning, seeing the GORGEOUS high-production indie TTRPGs coming out. Then I remembered—those folks have paid their dues. Meanwhile, I barely paid attention to a work meeting to see how many Archivium Codex illustrations I could push out during the call (Answer: 2)

I am just a big rodent that likes to chill. iseej.github.io/LovePawsona/

It's such a terrible shame that I can't sing for shit*; I have done a lot of studying on lyrics and songwriting over the past year and I am getting to the not entirely awful stage of it. * No seriously, I sound like a dying wildebeest. My autistic ass can barely communicate verbally as is, no sing

Archivium is now available on DrivethruRPG!

Preliminary 2025 Roadmap for Lichlight #soloRPG releases is up on our brand spanking new Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/prelim... Shooting for a minimum of 7 codices / bite-sized expansions & 2 fully new games. All horror all the time for this year. #TTRPG #HorrorRPG #DarkAcademia

I am a big dumb dumb who messed up my Itch page and somewhow at 2am this morning when I pressed the release button none of the files made it onto the page. Yup, kinda ruined my own launch 🤦

Launch Day! What if your college job was maintaining a secret, cursed library? Create your own university & its hidden society Shape the Archive by fabricating forbidden books & relics 🔗 lichlight.itch.io/the-archivium #TTRPG #SoloRPG #HorrorRPG #DarkAcademia

And we are LIVE! itch.io/b/2865/solo-... A huge glorious bundle of singleplayer ttrpgs benefitting @takethisorg.bsky.social ! It's Solo But Not Alone 5!

Best breakdown of soloRPGs I have seen so far.

It's confirmed, I am going to #ComicConCapeTown in May! Tickets bought, transport arranged, now I just need to sort accommodation. I have never been to CC before. Should I cosplay? Who as? Should I go as my vtuber? LOL. Would that be too narcissistic? One day I will have a booth for my games!

Decided to try the New Year Bingo Card instead of resolutions. Also decided only fun things. I cannot be arsed with tracking responsibilities and pain points this year. I was going to make it pretty, but I ended up doodling stick figures while on a processes and change management meeting...

I have been very busy working on the gamedev side. My #SoloRPG project: The Archivium has its LAUNCH DAY on the 30th of January! The game has gone from 84 pages to a 226 page chonker! It spans 4 horror subgenres with a total of 16 endings. Now with DevLog blost posts: itch.io/blog/866222/...

I am in post November Project slump. I told myself I will take at least a week off before I start working on the next phase of Archivium but now I don't know what to do with myself. How do normal humans spend their time? I should get the new model ready for re-debut, probs. Sounds like work tho 😪

🎲💀 Playtesters Wanted I have finished my #nagademon project, clocking in at a 84 page draft that desperately needs eyeballs other than my own to give it a playtest. If you like the following: #ttrpg #soloRPG #cozyhorror #darkacademia 🔗 Join the playtest Discord: discord.gg/8SQW8Z2vys
