Slammed out a quick game of Photo Club with the DVC founding team. Behold my perfect shot of exactly a deer, a coyote, a woodpecker and a jay.

That means the world to me! We are already experimenting with more content for both!

I was asked, somewhat jokingly whether I care more about people buying our games or playing our games, and there is a bit of misfortune in it honestly being the latter, but I have a gut feeling that plenty of games are made to be sold, not necessarily played, and that is too bad.

This was a joy to listen to!

And in case anyone ever wants to be able to discuss spoilers about Here Lies, I recommend checking out one of the demo cases we use at conventions:

Fantastic news of the day, but Here Lies has found its way onto the Origins Awards finalist list! An achievement in and of itself! Really appreciate the bonus love for our favorite detective game.

Significantly more concerned with composition and placement- you can score multiple goals together in a single photo, plus equipment for cheating and bonus points, and an advanced variant with seasonal rule changes to plan around

I am glad! We had a great test of the analog (using a handheld polaroid frame) and phone (taking pics) versions and its the same each way.

Sad to miss GAMA, but also, everyone at GAMA emailing us: It is very funny when we respond and get a whole bunch of 'I can't reply I'm at GAMA' emails. Like half my inbox right now.

Last month I was ready to quit making them. Tending these fires is a passionate burden.

My father moved here from Japan in the 60’s, but that doesn’t change that this is a stain on this country that is part of our history. We can all rise and be true neighbors. If he (issei) my son (sansei) and I (nissei) were here back then, we’d likely be in camps too. - Jono Atsushi Naito-Tetro

Every working designer these days should have a clause in their contracts that mentions no LLM/AI in their games at any point. And to not allow for those publishers to feed your ideas into the woodchipper that is LLM/AI either.
