If you told me a year ago my weird little abstract I fully expected to be one-and-done at Indie Game Night Market would have had this much success, I wouldn’t believe you!!
I hope everyone sees this as a proof for indie game releases as a legitimate pipeline for both Hobby and Mass publishers!!!!!!

Indie Games Market last night was a rousing success!!!!
WOW. I’m so impressed by all of the vendors organization and skill.
I’m sure we’ll be able together get stats from the PAX team, but this year definitely felt way bigger 🧵 🎲✂️

So if a domino game that plays like a modern board game and a traditional one at the same time, I hope you’ll try it, and maybe even share it with someone else! :)

Honored and tickled by Dan Thurot’s review of Rowin, to be sold at IGNM at Pax Unplugged.
“There’s no small measure of hate-drafting...”
“There’s the pleasant whiff of press-your-luck…”
“It has that classic feel, like something you’d dredge out of an old monastery’s archives.”
“I dig it.”

had our first new game release in months, and it's my crossword dice game cross4! I made it because I love the crossword dice games of the twentieth century, and wanted to make one with a little more arc and meat to it. 🧵

I’m gearing up to sell three indie titles at the Indie Game Night Market coming to PAXu this November. Art is finalized and proofs are on their way. Here is the cover to “Glass Half Full” a TT with some fun hooks. All the art or suits are inspired by optimism idioms.
