My 14-year-old daughter said I didn't need a haircut before GDC. This week - please direct any hair-related feedback her way.

My favorite bug report for Below the Crown so far... "No action needed, just wanted to say that I LOVE this game. This game rules. It's definitely the best chess roguelike yet..."

Little moments like these add up <3
