I was interviewed by PIX11 for this article about how the Trump administration is trying to deport asylum-seekers to random third countries like Uganda, Ecuador, and Honduras.
It is one of the most horrifying things I've seen in immigration court, and I do not say that lightly.

Do I know anyone near Virginia that can give my friends a place to park their van and rest for part of the season without worrying about getting arrested for being homeless? They're cold, they're desperate, they need a break before they break.

The third game I ever made was a W&A alone game.
I can definitely say that The Wretched has a huge part in me becoming a game designer. I think a lot of people can say that.
You should play it.

The Wretched has seen a massive uptick in sales recently, which I'm very happy about. If you haven't checked it out yet it's currently on sale, which seems like an excellent excuse to give it a go.
