AN HOUR OF WOLVES, a Wretched & Alone game that I designed for the OATHSWORN finale, is out now.

Marshall your forces and make a final stand against the dark.

Roll 100 D6 dice, draw cards, and decide what you're willing to sacrifice to survive.

“The Cartogramancer”

This one is specifically for @dicey.bsky.social , whose streams have been keeping me sane lately. Mapping La-Mulana on a first blind playthrough is producing quite the art piece. Thanks Dicey!

Dicey’s personal character as Lemeza Kosugi in La-Mulana. Seen doing his mapping work in the Spring in the Sky. His computer, here rendered as a high-tech tablet, scans and translates an ancient stone monument. Nearby hovers one of the resident fairies of the ruins, clutching a large key, portrayed as a mouse girl to match Dicey.

For the last month I have done very little but think about, talk about, and play Blue Prince. It's sort of like a cross between Slay the Spire and Outer Wilds — you progress by gaining knowledge — but it's also much more than that.

It is one of the most incredible games I have played in my life.

A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night.

My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond.

A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden.

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players.

So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕

I like it!! Good imagery and just the right amount of cryptic. Also, if you’ll forgive me: “it scans nicely” XD
