Almost forgot to mention: Alone Together is an iteration of Wretched & Alone, check it out if you also want to try your hand at designing a solo journaling game.

Also you can support future projects and see work in progress on my Patreon where I post extended dev logs. Subscribing at any tier gets your name in the credits, and at higher tiers gets you playable preview builds (as well as keeping my bills at bay and freeing up more hours for more writing).

Also check out my Patreon where I ramble about my design process in greater detail. Subscribing at any tier gets your name in the credits, and at higher tiers also gets you access to early builds of future games (and gets me more time and resources to pursue more ambitious game designs).

Optionally, come check out my patreon for more detailed dice ramblings unrestrained by character limit.

Reminds me of some wisdom that I think I heard on @intothecast.bsky.social‬ , the point of spicy food or souls-like (gatepunk?) games or other consensual spicy pursuits isn't necessarily the pain (though it can be), the purpose is to open doors to flavors you might not experience otherwise.

I love these creature designs, they make me want to come up with some kinda minis game for them to live in

P.S. - If you try Taba and feel inspired to experiment, you can design and publish works of your own so long as you give me a nod in the credits (and of course also credit For The Queen by Alex Roberts, inspiration for countless fascinating and creative Descended From The Queen games) (3/3)

Next game aims for a linear-ish story, but when tested with the Taba setup we didn't feel the escalation. Taking bigger swings in deck setup proved effective, more noticeable when the hearts are interrupted by a torrent of clubs, and feeling the pressure when the spades start closing in. (2/3)
