Today I discuss how I’ve made newsletters alongside developing every VM Game. Newsletters kept me accountable in case socials ever went radio silent 👀

Happy Friday! This week's recap is all about puzzles. From the clean, minimal, and addicting Knotwords to The Puzzler's journey through all kinds of puzzles, these recs will surely satisfy any itch you have to problem solve this weekend!

Don’t shoot for perfection! These are the kinds of phrases we hear often, but it’s also helpful to understand what to say instead - chasing imperfection opens the door to so much more than we realize!

Revisiting the second game made last year: Doppelspeak! This was an ambitious take on tense conversations in relationships.

What people say is not always what they mean, and I wanted to explore that concept in Doppelspeak.

How do I craft characters in love?

I wanted to make narrative games because of my first love for writing, so here's a writing exercise I’ve used to create scenes!

Share your ideas for writing characters in love ~

Thinking about love this week? With Valentine’s Day approaching, I wanted to think about love and games - what does “romancing a game character” really mean? What is Vine Moss Games’ take on love in games?

Thanks for watching this week’s themed series ❤️

We’re so excited to be on this journey with @pklwrks.bsky.social ✨

Another week recap! This time bringing Viewfinder and Great Big Beautiful Life to the table.

A great mind-bending mystery in one, and a complicated biography in the other; both picks were such a ride.

Happy weekend ✨

Sharing a big creative question this week: what’s inspiring you right now?

There’s never a moment where ideas aren’t surrounding us. For me, it’s about being open and accepting the daily weird and wonderful into my art.
