More words about the who, what, and why of Foolish Endeavor.

I don't usually place much meaning on the New Year, but this one hits different.

Last year I left my job software engineering, for multiple reasons, but a big one was to free up time to get serious about finishing and sharing the many games I've whittled away on over many years.

This is me. This is what I've been working on for most of this year - a publishing imprint for my weird niche games. I'd appreciate a boost of any kind 🙇

I now speak Foolish Endeavor Games into existence (coming in just under the wire to fulfill my self-set goal to launch in 2024 😅).

Homepage: foolishendeavor.games

Games on itch: foolishendgames.itch.io

It will be a long and winding path. If you'd like to avoid exposure to the toxic hellsites, toss your email into the newsletter to hear where this path leads!

I've been a bit hermity for a while, stuck at the bottom of an algorithmic oubliette (reskeets would be very appreciated 🙇), but this year, I've started to get serious (and "full time") about finally polishing and publishing games from my deep, forsaken library of a backlog of nascent projects.

Hi - I'm David Perry. You may know me from Principia Apocrypha (along with two other names on the cover that I perhaps should not have made quite so much larger than mine 😅), my fallow blog, Lithyscaphe, or, perhaps, from the golden days of G+.

And I'm launching a Foolish Endeavor.

This @zandoarts.bsky.social ship screams out for a reification by @sublightdrive.bsky.social

you already know what's up

(game sale rec thread is what's up)

as always for my rec threads, i focus primarily on obscure, older, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help.

so, onwards!

If you know me from RPGs, @foolishendgames.bsky.social is/will be where I post and interact in that realm.
