I used to write Devlogs every month, but then I forgot / got lazy. Figured it might be good to look back at everything we've done so far and all the things still coming.

I am all verklempt. This is more than I ever thought I'd accomplish

That wonderful feeling of submitting files to the approval queue and thinking about how you are going to rest for a few days before kicking off the next project, only to wake up in the middle of the night realizing YOU FORGOT TO DO THE INTERNAL ART and the document has 4 blank pages because of it 😭

Why I Play SoloRPGs, Why I Write Games … and Where Ideas Come From

I have a millionty things to do: layout for the upcoming expansion, writing for the one after that, recording an actual play for youtube, finishing my doggone rigging. Instead I thought: how about I do none of those and start a #soloRPG and #gamedev blog instead?

Know that feels. I have a campaign that just hit year 2 as well and I am so so ready for it to be over.

Because fanfiction take a lot of time, and if we had more time we'd be writing more more games instead. The joy of someone enjoying your game is just so much more satsifying than a AO3 kudos. Although let's be clear, we'll grab that validation anyway we can get it, lol
