And just look at an excerpt from this glowing review. Thank you so much!

I'm working on resuscitating Transmissions from the Archive (my newsletter) and am really excited with these updates.

I'm announcing a few things, clarifying a few things I'm unfortunately behind on, and in general rebooting a BUNCH of projects.

Follow-along if you want to read the latest.

Good mail day.

Working on a map for my Carapace X Mausritter home game.

The bugs in my setting are from the mysterious realm known as Whitehall—a land of marbled columns and bleached bone.

What will our mouse-scale adventurers find in these hallowed halls? Perhaps allies in their fight against Sabrina?

This is so cool. I can't wait to play as furry little creatures... IN SPACE!!!

I've seen this project advertised several times and am tentatively curious. I love Treasure Planet and this seems to draw from that heavily.

If nothing else they took time with an excellent title mark. Would love to learn more about the design as custom titles is something we need to see more of.

Here's hoping this isn't some AI nonsense or Affinity subscription-based service.

Here's what it looks like on mobile. Think I need to bring in the margins even more.

Desktop looks fine though.

Been working on this for a while but think I'm finally at the point where I can now offer custom script logotypes.

Looking for a bespoke wordmark for your next project, let me know!

WIP for GRAND ARMOR.
July 25, 2025 at 8:19 PM
In GRAND ARMOR your Mechas have an Energy Shield that acts as temporary Structure (think HP for Mechas).

Can you manage the delicate balance between keeping your Energy Shield activated and avoiding Structural damage which can lead to a Meltdown?!

Find out now in GRAND ARMOR!

In GRAND ARMOR your Mechas take on Heat as they take Actions.

Can you and your Pilot walk the fine line between inaction and overclocking your unit?

Get GRAND ARMOR to find out!

Want to play a microlite TTRPG where you control both Pilot and Mecha with unique, interlocking character sheets?
