A comic called the four seasons of bird watching. In panel 1, labeled elegant songbird spring, a yellow-throated vireo sings against a green background. In panel 2, labeled subtle treasures of summer, a hermit thrush stands on moss in a dark green forest. In panel 3 labeled magnificent fall migrations, broad-winged hawks soar over fall foliage. In panel 4, labeled weird duck time, a northern shoveler, surf scoter, and red-breasted merganser open their strange bills and yell.

I love this, it has such a tangible weight to it! My favourite detail is the asymmetrical arm motion, I notice that about my irl walk cycle all the time

Do you find yourself exhausted by having to create titles, puns, and names for things in your games?

⭐ Here is my small suite of websites that I find super useful when writing! ⭐

(disclaimer: I am pretty confident these are all genAI-free. I've certainly been using them since before genAI)

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.
