Journey is an 18-card solo adventure game that I've been working on for a couple years. The card design has now been finalized, and I'm getting quotes for production, in preparation for my first-ever Kickstarter...!

Happy five-year anniversary to my first-ever game release!

Crown Rivals was my first foray into board game design, and my answer to the question, "Could I make a game like Star Realms with a standard deck of playing cards?"

Well I had hoped that Affinity could be the one bastion of non-subscription, non-ai BS...

But they just sold out to these folks. 😭

Converting a LEGO concept to a drawing; attempt 1. I haven't done any real shading in art for a long time and feel there's room for improvement there, but not bad for a first try!

I want to start doing more art for my board/card games so this is practice.

This has a wonderful synergy/simplicity/symmetry:

If you’re rolling two d6 and going for 7+, if you roll the first die, the number you roll is equal to the number of faces on the second die that will give you 7+.

I know it’s simple but… it still seems beautiful to me.

(… synplistergy?)

I've decided to make Yard Builder, my relaxing roll-n-write with curb appeal, FREE.

I'd rather have more people enjoying it than the few dollars a year it was making.

Yard Builder is a chill game about drawing a yard and making it beautiful... and high scoring!

Idea for a “universal” neoprene play mat for card games:

Use a solid-coloured play mat and mount a projector on the ceiling directly above it. Project white outlines for card placement onto the mat.

Easy! 😅

A co-designer and I use MPR for “more playtesting required” in our design notes and chats.

We have a couple video reviews coming for ExoShip, but this review of the PNP version is so wonderful I had to share it:

Got my first-ever negative response to the generated art in In Dreams, since release. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long.

Here's my official response, in case anyone was wondering how someone with game published with AI art could dislike AI art in general:
