our first printed proof of the printed starfriends game, photographed against a pleasant neon orange. this was actually a very haphazard photo taken with my iPhone while I propped the paper up with my other hand, but you wouldn’t know it because that’s cinema magic baby
close up of the texture of the game cards. oh what’s that it says “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” and “game” on the cards?? wow if true
close up of the box art .. we called this first edition run “starborn”
the friends have landed!

it was especially generous of Tom to carve out a little space for @brainfruit.bsky.social on Toylike! he makes *incredibly* cool games in both digital and analog realms, so keep clicking those hyperlinks once you get in there

two starfriends talking in front of a kickstarter dashboard screenshot. Bernacle on the left is saying "almost at $5k! what will you do with your cut?" and Discount on the right is replying "probably buy more starfriends decks"
we're four decks away from hitting 5k in our kickstarter! we would love your help getting there today

starfriends is stretching even farther than the limited constraints of physical reality, journeying to the domain of the augmented - try it out now in tiktok!

two starfriends greeting a new, glowing yellow starfriend. the glowing one has text that reads "funded in 7 hours!" and the other two, floating in space under the "starfriends" logo, are saying "that's like nothing" "we are eon's old"
the starfriends have been on a journey for millions of years, but it only took 7 hours for them to find a home with you ✨ grab a deck or incept the campaign into your friends dreams today!

a cartoon brain and apple cavort next to a banner image for "smoothie bar: a brainfruit place" with a link to join smoothie bar, the official brainfruit studio discord. there is also a happy blender in the background with a mysterious puree inside whose color is a suspicious blend of the brain's and apple's colors
ahhh, one week of co-owning a smoothie bar with
@garrett.bsky.social! a.k.a the official
@brainfruit.bsky.social discord, where you can follow our work and play some stuff in progress. (especially relevant if you like trick-taking card games) the vibes are great, get in here! discord.gg/YPNKtnTQ4g

screengrab of capcut, rob dubbin is highlighted in pink (a feature I had just discovered), gesturing at nothing
now I'm in the frame. rob is highlighted in a pink stroke outline, looking stoically forward. I'm sitting on his shoulders, somehow tinier. I was trying to figure out how to smush videos together
rob, wearing a hot, looking to his left at a different rob, who is being interviewed for a DIFFERENT promo video. this is how I looked upon first import, really wonderful stuff by computers here.
there were several times while making the brainfruit promo video where my ignorance of capcut created some real "magic moments". we left a lot of beauty on the cutting room floor!
