Congrats to @mergeconflictstudio.com on their launch of Gemporium! We were lucky enough to have our booth right across from them at DreamHack Dallas, and their game looked delightfully cozy and beautiful. Check it out!

Four sketches of the Laysan Albatross in various poses are interspersed with facts about the species. The birds are white with dark brown wings and heavy black eyeshadow.

I’m so jealous of their eyeshadow game ✨

A PC Gamer article review with the title "I thought it was a cute and casual little mining sim right up until it devoured my entire morning" by Christopher Livingston

⛏️THE MINES CONSUME ANY AND ALL!!!💎

Thanks to Chris @pcgamer.com for the feature, may you become a debt free mole soon📈😎

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Letter Lost is a totally normal post office game where nothing weird ever happens! Happy mailing, postal warriors, and don't let the existential dread get you down!

I can't stress enough how much we make fun of "idea guys"

Consent-Based Consumption: A Nuanced Look at Feeding Your Face to the Leopards

Digital pencil sketches of four ‘I’iwi birds take up a postcard design. The two juvenile birds on the left half are yellow with brown, dashed speckles. The adult birds on the right are bright crimson with black wings and large, curved beaks. There is informational text scattered between the sketches.

The back of the postcard is split in two, one section for writing, and another for the recipient’s address. There’s a tiny sketch of a ‘I’iwi bird on the bottom left next to text attributing the art to the artist

Avian August Day 1: ‘I’iwi

I’m soooo excited for another year of daily bird drawings! Am I already behind? Yes. Am I going to let that keep me from drawing birds? No!!

A peak behind the scenes of our totally normal post office game, looking for the next totally normal note to write. Taking suggestions.

"What's My Foundation?" TTRPG worldbuilding book cover. Runic Press logo in bottom left corner. Silhouetted hand holding a stylized globe with a secondary silhouette embedded inside, also holding a tiny celestial body. Conveys nesting doll. Image black and warm palette gradient on white field.

Coming soon to a crowdfunding platform near you. The sequel to "What's My Motivation?", the hit book on character creation, is "What's My Foundation?"

Discover a new way to do worldbuilding. Not from the ground up. From the origin of everything. For gamemasters of #TTRPGs and fantasy #authors.

Throwback to our time at Dreamhack Dallas and the Letter Lost live experience! We may have some things in the pipeline like this, and you know we love to keep a secret, but all will be revealed soon!

If you're an indie studio, perhaps this is a familiar picture. Voice recording in your basement, in a cave made of your handmade sound panels and extra blankets. Reaching out from the void, Liv beseeches you. One...More...Line...

A look at this week's historic Kharnym Isle map! The map has been known to change, though, and districts have been known to float away and disappear. What happens to those citizens, I wonder?

I choose to believe I"m the cute Cthulu one in the center, but I'm probably closer to the pirate at the bottom.

Well, we have flown past our 750 wishlist goal and we owe you a content drop! So here's this. Totally normal.

I'm always blown away when I look at old gameplay videos. So much has changed (thankfully)! I'm so proud of the team and how far we've come in a short time.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Dev Pet Thursday is back once again with Chewie, another pet of Harrison Wade, our founder, creative designer, and composer. More pets to come each week, so keep an eye out for our adorable friends!

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

In a month, we have gone from “Should we take campaign contributions from Elon?” to “Let’s give MechaHitler $200 million.”

Stop entertaining this man. Stop giving him money. It’s really that simple.

We should be putting a gargantuan amount of money into solar and storage. War economy levels. It should be free to have a guy from the government solar your house up. Electricity should basically cost nothing.

Our incredibly talented boss Liv put together a great video that details what life as a Kharnym Postal Employee can be like. Do you have what it takes?
