Playing through Mass Effect Legendary was amazing. So much joy from exploring that universe again.

Really enjoying Foretell. Bluffing mechanics are hard and this one feels like it hit the sweet spot. @wizards_magic

One of the best in the business both as an artist and a mentor. If you're interested in VFX, this is a huge opportunity!
Hey game friends- I want to start doing (free) VFX mentorships in January! These are aimed at those early in or still starting their careers, and I'd like to try and really tailor these to you. Open to all, but BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ devs - I want to talk with you!<3 Details⬇️

Two open positions on my project for an engineer and a concept artist! We're a small, tight-knit team working on something pretty cool at Blizzard. Especially if you're a woman, non-binary, racial minority or otherwise bring a unique perspective, we'd love to have you apply.

Got to play Gladiator Guild Manager (@GladiatorGuild) yesterday and thought it had some cool stuff. Interesting tactical autobattler with some progression. Just the first little bit is out as a steam demo, but they're Kickstarting the rest of it. store.steampowered.com/app/1…

Played through Wintermoor Tactics Club this weekend. Picked it up on a whim since I hadn't really heard much about it, but ended up really enjoying it - a good mix of clever tactics gameplay and well-written, lighthearted storytelling.

Dream Quest sold 1000 copies yesterday on Steam. That's insane, almost unbelievable... Thank you to everyone who purchased or spread the word, I can't say how much it means to me that there're people out there still playing it. I hope you enjoy!

Dream Quest is going on sale tomorrow for a week on Steam. 90% off (the max I could do) - a silly stick figure game for being cooped up at home. If you want to play but can't afford it, message me and, until the logistics become too much of a pain, I'll send you a free key.

Dream Quest fans! What would you be interested in from an update? Are there particular balance changes, quality of life things, or types of new content? Let's exclude art - it's something I'm already working on.
