Following another cancellation, I am looking for (remote) contract/freelance work. I am a game urbanist & designer (15 years experience), and can help with:

🏙️ game cities & urban environments
🪐 worldbuilding
🎲 game design & documentation

Contact me @ www.game-cities.com/about

A reminder (for anyone interested in game urbanism and the design of video game cities) ⤵️

Experimenting with using procedural ivy for set dressing = fun!

Thanks for the Little Ruin preview @wellplayed.bsky.social
Our game persists, more to come!

Big thanks to @wellplayed.bsky.social for their preview of Little Ruin. We can't wait to show more!

I couldn't picture how Death Howl, a soulslike deckbuilder, could possibly marry the two genres—until I played its Steam Next Fest demo Then my face got smashed, now I'm a believer.

It's kind of funny – we didn't realise at first that we were actually merging these two genres! We aimed for an open-world deck builder, but our focus testers actually pointed out the #SoulsLike elements!

Thanks for a lovely preview, @pcgamer.com! 🤍

Save 10% on Old Skies on Steam A time travel adventure spanning two hundred years! Dive into the past with time agent Fia Quinn as she embarks on seven trips through time. History is up for grabs, from the speakeasies of Prohibitio...

Just another beggy reminder to leave a review of Old Skies on Steam if you've played it there. We're almost at 200 reviews, which is awesome! But as I've said before, this early momentum means EVERYTHING so it would mean a lot if we kept it going.

Friends, Old Skies is out. This game was a lot of work but I'm proud to have finished it. Thanks to everybody for all the support along the way. ❤️

Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’. A green banner reads 'Just launched Kickstarter'.

Time to UNLEASH HELL because our Malys Kickstarter is OFFICIALLY LIVE! 🔥

Follow the link to join the hunt and and help our hellish roguelite deckbuilder reach its full infernal potential!
