All the folk wisdom in Raincaster is real, if at times embellished. Folklorist Vance Randolph is a favorite resource, along with Brooke's own rural Arkansas roots.

Gave ourselves a long weekend in our favorite place while the trails are golden. Not pictured: cave waterfalls, fighting elk, and that magic Ozark fog.

And some of the loose sketches working out Crow's flying key. Vector art for our previous games was fun, but such a nice change to be working by hand now. @procreate.com

Animation stages from the Crow shot in Raincaster's announcement trailer: *super* rough pencil test for timing, then cleanup, before final paint. The whole game is hand-drawn and animated in @procreate! #ProcreateArtist

Just look at this Raincaster controller stand magician Dan Fountain 3D-printed for our Leftfield booth! 😍

Excited to announce that Raincaster will be playable next weekend at @egxofficial.bsky.social, with Leftfield Collection! And…something more is coming next week. 👀

And an icon for a folksy game about weather superstition that stars a rooster? A weathervane, of course!

A look back at some of the early sketches and title treatments that led to Raincaster’s final hand-lettered logo.

Here walks the ghost of young Rolly Possum…

Okay yes, Raincaster’s star is a rooster, and Wooden Nickel had pretty good chickens too, but we’ll never ever top our Burly Men at Sea chickens.

Workspace in which we’re making a game about Ozark mystery and magic.

One more, because raccoons are also great, even though this one stole all our sumac berries.

This magic is all happening maybe fifty yards behind our house, because the woods were left intact. We've been working hard to rehabilitate it from invasives and our tornado damage last spring.
August 26, 2025 at 3:23 PM
We set up a trail cam along a game trail behind our house a few months ago, and it's like Christmas every time we check it.
