As I've been testing my game Sound Mind (which is 2-player hide and seek/keep-away), I'm noticing that I've inadvertently made like 80% of an adventure game engine.
Wondering if there'd be any interest in a *short* prequel adventure, or if it'd just feel like asset reuse?

I finally cut apart and framed the giant Hall of the Dwarf King art - you can buy this poster from the shop and cut apart your own game board or get a full tabletop box set from theGameCrafter 👑

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
