Siegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game, is available now! This was a personal project created with a small team, and my friends say, "I was playing it to be polite, but then it was four hours later, and I actually liked it!"

Getting the word out is still hard, so all RTs appreciated!

Periodically it's useful for me (and you) to share what Amberspire is – a city builder with lots of dice, and a unique science fantasy history. It will, of course, have a manual.

I am thrilled to present Amberspire, a science-fantasy dice city builder. In the glow of a gas giant, roll dice to build a city in harmony with an alien ecology atop the ruins of an abandoned moon.

Goodbye, London! A wonderful decade and now it’s time for the next adventure.

Shepard has no idea what’s going on, but he’s being a champ and I think he’ll like what’s next.

Appreciate the private messages I’ve received over the past couple weeks… however due to U.K. laws I can’t read any of them without doing a thing I’m definitely not going to do.

Will pick up a VPN after the move is sorted. 👍

Depending on how far you are from me I’ll take a couple buckets 🪣 off your hands.

Welp, we've officially reached the point where British people think I'm an AI on the phone, because, and I wish I were making this up, "your diction is too on point."

I have now apologized twice for my very "Yankee American" accent. 🤣

They literally asked me for proof that I was attending a wedding the last time I came in. I'm an American citizen. You don't have a right to interrogate why I'm coming back into the country.

I really liked Ferrero before.

I ❤️ Ferrero now.

I'll endorse Garin anytime but I think the best way is to show off my favorite piece of of art in The Banished Vault and the sketch I gave him to show what I wanted

a haunting image of a group of people on a flat plain walking towards a distant pyramid on the horizon, with glowing streams of energy shooting out of it in the pattern of a Lorenz attractor. The sky is filled with additional streams of chaotic energies

the same image as before but as if a four year old drew it in marker

The Summer Hikaru Died is now on Netflix.

I was concerned the anime would steer away from the queer themes and shot choices of the manga, but from the pilot that is not the case.

A very different type of horror story and very much an anime for those not usually into anime.

AMBERSPIRE 🌇 The Library

The ruins you'll build your city upon have a long history, and where better to store that knowledge than a Library? Among other resources, the Library produces Insight, which can go on to help build Amphitheaters, Temples, and even Starports.

An overview of the Library, a building that can be constructed in upcoming game Amberspire. On the left is the building art, a medium-sized building with a russet dome roof, its paler inner building circular but with golden-orange annexes that make its shape square overall. On the right are the details of the building and its flavour text, reading: Library. Roll dice to produce resources. "Labor to tutor any who ask, and be led in turn. - Old Imperial proverb". There is also a diagram of the resources that the dice from this building can produce when rolled. Two faces are Insight, two are Horizon, one is Dust, and one is Tea.

Brenda was responsible for some early breaks in my career and John has been nothing but kind in every interaction we’ve had. As people are pointing out, if the Romeros are getting this treatment, what hope do the rest of us have?
