Social media not only distracts me, but given the current happenings in the world, it scares me into paralysis. So I am rarely here. But if you want to see what I am up to, I bravely post about my life and The Merry Fairy (they are the same, tbh) on Steam& YouTube www.youtube.com/@TheMerryFairy

We had an awesome time at the WA State Gaming Expo but a pony who smiles on command was not on our bingo card 😍

We just dropped a new video showing the entire creative process behind the characters in Few Shall Return. See how we build the roster for the new dungeon extraction game (where rounds last just 7 minutes and a half!) youtu.be/6z-HBCP388A
