Happy Friday! The Hilltop website just got a face lift thanks to @balbontino.com and the good folks at @wearecontinue.bsky.social.
Do people still go to websites in 2026? Unclear. But ours now has CoR stuff and looks very slick if you feel like clicking around.

Toronto's @cococucumber.bsky.social is one of my favourite indie devs, so it was a pleasure speaking with them about Echo Generation 2.
We talked about the risks of their first-ever sequel, the evolution of voxel art, the Steam demo response and what makes the Toronto dev community special. 🇨🇦 🎮
i'm so excited for y'all to see this !!
A man holding a torch looks behind him. There is an old woman holding a card and a girl with a butterfly on her face in the background. Title says, “Curse of Resthaven”
And wrapping up the developers making a difference is @playhilltop.bsky.social, makers of the witty & accessible Lil' Guardsman. They just announced their NEW GAME: Curse of Resthaven. We took an early look & think it’s great! Definitely check it out here: [https://tinyurl.com/CurseOfResthavenSteam]
The official Ambrosia Sky OST is now available on @bandcamp.com!
The soundtrack creates a unique and hauntingly expressive soundscape — one that feels both alien and deeply connected to human nostalgia. A found sound that resonates in the setting of deep space.

It's been a long week, so why not kick back and play the Echo Generation 2 demo? store.steampowered.com/app/1115990/...
It's a deckbuilding RPG for fans of Final Fantasy & Stranger Things 🚀😎
In 2021, with freelance drying up and newfound tree time, I indulged myself in vintage gaming magazines scans available through the Gaming Alexandria and the Internet Archive. I was delighted by the outsidery, often acid house design sensibilities...
While simultaneously repulsed by the rigid machismo and how utterly heteronormative they were. Having. wanted to start a gaming zine for quite a while (like, a decade) this began to feel Iike a problem I could solve. With longtime triend and design partner Jakub Tywoniuk, we got to work on FUNLAND. A publication exploring the outer edges of gaming.
FUNLAND was a hit! Made three times what I put into it. The tougher resource was time. Jakub and I found more regular employment. After a long hiatus, Patreon announced all pages would be forced into their monthly model. I had to decide: Do I close the page (which continued to gain supporters even without updates) or do I attent something really, really stupid... In August of 2025, FUNLAND returned as a monthly gaming zine!!
FUNLAND delivers previews, reviews, interviews, profiles, essays and scene reports across the wild gaming world. We've featured the likes of Christine Love (LADYKILLER IN A BIND), Ville Kallio (CRUELTY SQUAD), Derek Yu (SPELUNKY), Heather Flowers (EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER), Bennett Foddy (GETTING OVER IT), Jenny Jiao Hsia (CONSUME ME), Naphtali Faulkner (UMURANGI GENERATION) and many more. With your support, by subscribing on our Patreon or purchasing issues on Itch.io, we can continue to get bigger and bolder. I especially want to revive those mock ads, those were a hoot.
Got a lot of new followers all over so here’s a few ‘what’s funland’s whole deal?’ cards

Detective Hill is on the case - now in action!
We are so excited to announce that our new animated trailer will be premiering in the @dames4games.org Spring Showcase! 🕵️ 🌼
Tune in March 6th @ 2PM ET to check it out.
