No! There's always room for more!

Plus I'm really excited by the idea of driving my cattle so I want you to make it <3

Thank you :)
@stoutstoat.co.uk did the lion's share and is solely responsible for making it look so pretty though!

This is so amazing, go give it a look and add it to your Apothecaria playthrough unless you want the wigfish to suffer?!?

As a huge fan of Apothecaria by @annablackwell.bsky.social I couldn't resist turning my silly little idea from a while back into something a little more. So here we go - introducing the Wigfish Rehab Centre! 💚

My post-apocalyptic solo journalling game about running a service station on the Death Road is finally out! blackwellwriter.itch.io/death-road-s...

And the best part? You write your story on actual rubbish! Cereal boxes, soup labels, other RPGs, these are your canvas!

A picture of a paper plate and the bottom of an irn bru pallett being used as a journal to play Death Road Services. Anna's handwriting is nearly illegible anyway but can be assumed to be a hilarious story of post-apocalyptic nonsense.

I suppose we start getting into territory that videogames get quite comfortable in in that case.

Like, I've only ever finished 2 games of Rimworld and a handful of Civilisations but I still play them. I still enjoy them even though I eventually wander away.

I think you might be onto something.

I design games with the experience of never finishing designing a game, if that counts? XD

I really love @durrymusic.bsky.social and just found out that Austin was also the singer for Coyote Kid who I've been listening to for years!

Love that voice man!
