New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂

👀 You can read this week's blog post (it's a long one!) at
semicoop.com/comic/beast-of-burden/ #gamenight #boardgames

Two panels. Above the left, it says: "Games I brought to game night". We see Heinze carrying a very big and heavy backpack holding at least 15 games (it shows the outlines of the boxes through the bag). Above the right panel it says: "Games we played at game night". We see the same image of Heinze carrying the back pack with only one small game highlighted in the entire backpack.

I've been working on the 2nd edition of the card game All Is Bomb, which I made in 2021. It even won an award in the BGG PNP contest. I want the game to be official, so I've been adding new art, expansions. If anyone is interested in trying it out, I made the print documents for the core set. DM me!

Hey, I'd love to be commissioned to work as a video games composer :) If you have a sort-of-serious project going on and would like some tunes, contact me.
Been working as a composer for the theatre and film for the past 15 years, also got the main Slovenian award for theatre music in 2021.

LOK Digital is a lovely puzzle game, but it had a nasty save bug when switching between PCs or a #SteamDeck, which is now fixed thanks to a new patch:

Oh, nice!! It'll be more of the same, just a bit finetuned and I have ambitious ideas about some meta expansions, but who knows if they'll work in practice (I need to create about 20 new cards for them to work, so I'm not there yet)

Probably last time on the beach this year. Playtesting All Is Bomb second edition. 2 losses, 2 wins, which is honestly perfect

had our first new game release in months, and it's my crossword dice game cross4! I made it because I love the crossword dice games of the twentieth century, and wanted to make one with a little more arc and meat to it. 🧵

Promotional image for cross4, featuring two crossword grids partially filled out in red and black marker, with seven letter dice in the background.

We are looking for a Godot consultant to help us investigate and fix an issue with long load times on iOS. It seems like Godot 4.5's shader baker might not be working on iOS only.
