Spend your time doing marketing!!! This is game development!! You are in advertising now! Why are you crying?!?

I am really ruthless with tabs. There's a sense of anxiety that sets in whenever I have more than 6, typically I keep around 2-3. I start dumping any stanky old tabs into bookmarks or a big markdown file full of links when I feel I have too many.

And finally, Your Holy and Virtuous Heretic, which I can best describe as 'Shin Megami Tensei and Daggerfall put in a blender'.

Dread Delusion was my favorite game of last year, and this game REALLY reminds me of it in a lot of ways.

I'd never been to PAX before this year. I've never been to a convention of its size, full stop, even as an attendee, I normally just don't have the money. After this year I think I understand now why people go, year after year, and I didn't even buy anything apart from a few pins lol.

Among the many other good things about finally going to PAX, I got to meet people in the aus games scene and beyond that I'd only ever talked to online. I got to show my game to people who I honestly never thought I'd ever see or meet, much less find out that they actually think my game is good.

That's a wrap for #PAXAus and #MIGW, thanks to everyone who came to see the game! It's honestly felt like a dream and seeing people enjoy the game very much reminded me why I do what I do.

super grateful to the reception to the parallels talk ! but everyone at pax keeps saying it was "confronting" and "existential" whilst we're both standing next to the "i love yaoi" post it at our booth

I'm working on an atmospheric RPG called Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic. It's inspired by RPG Maker games from 10 years ago, dungeon crawlers from 30 years ago, and demonology texts from 200-500 years ago!

I'll be showcasing at PAX Rising thanks to the Screen NSW market support program, and I couldn't be more grateful. PAX Aus is the biggest in-person showcase that I'll have done, in terms of attendance, and I wouldn't be able make it without the program.

I'll be in Melbourne for #MIGW from October 6-13th, and I'll be at both GCAP and PAX. If you're media or a publisher and you'd like to talk about Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic, send me a DM, find me in the GCAP app, or send me an email ([email protected]).
