Look... if it works it works. Filming in isolation brings out the crazy in people (their IRL Tetris skills)

Mini Mage, that's not a magic staff!!! Though it might be one way to summon lightning, in this monster web of cords...

The only tip that applies to every game, no matter what genre, scope, team size, or experience you have: have people play your game!

The Mini Mage ponders, looking at this statue... Is HE a statue? Does this figure have its own adventures like him? Does he have to worry about turning to stone, too?

In the spirit of the spookiest month, we've got some thoughts on spooky social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower! We love a wonderfully weird bit of game design 🩸🕰️

Here at Weird Mage, we have a founders discord server where it's only the three of us, but we still have a rules channel. We're not savages. So always keep in mind rule number one:

CRUSH ALL WHO STAND IN YOUR WAY.

That's it!

For any mini adventurer on a quest, fueling up is important! And for the Mini Mage, there's a particularly delicious potion in mind: SPELLghetti. Luckily, one pot will be plenty.

When you hear "board game about portals," Yahtzee probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But it was a major inspiration for one of the biggest core mechanics of our board game prototype!

There's no telling what beasts you might find in new lands, but the Mini Mage will tame them, even without his handy staff! And even if it's just... a light fixture.

All the most important #gamedev decisions are made through violence.

Our new #video about our mixed experiences with #UE5 comes out tomorrow!

Absolutely! So fun and weird to see how far we've come, and all the different directions we thought about taking but didn't

Hahahaha!!! Truly the most secret and powerful magic

Oh my gosh, yeah, we're kind goated with the shaders. 💪😤

Some #behindthescenes from our upcoming video. Interference from a radio broadcast almost ruined my whole shoot. #Audio is #crazy!

If you want to see the video this footage was for, subscribe on our YouTube channel! Out soon!

Woah, this isn't something the Mini Mage sees every day! If the staff he's looking for is down there, it's probably battered to bits... but at least the view is pretty!
