Hey, I'm Michael!
I'm an indie game designer & co-creator of @animalroyale.com
I love:
- absurdist humour
- design
- entertainment (games, film, books, music)
- animals
- philosophy & psychology
- science & technology
And since games draw on all parts of life, I can call these hobbies "work" too

No joke, the Canadian steel tariff and the China tariff add up to an eye watering 72% total on the tumblers so we're figuring out options.
If anyone else shipping goods to the US has any ideas let us know!

Quick Super Merch update! All shipments will pause Oct 11–Nov 12 while Cheryl is out of town.
U.S. shipping’s also still paused until tariff issues clear up. Thanks so much for your patience and support! ❤️
