Not in the USA myself, but a concept seems to match. If so, shooting you a pitch. Good luck in the convention season!

Noorderland magazine also highlighting our game. Narrowcasting with unique theme and having museum partners is a lot of work but now we reap the rewards: Within 2 weeks we have 25+ stores selling the game next to 42 museums and heritage sites 😊

It was hard to accept that some projects will take more time. And even with full control -self-publish- the work is impactful but also waaaay more. And even harder: turn down assignments/opportunties...

For me not being dependant on game design for my income prevents rolling for a sanity check every [day?]. Yet what you stated that the work then comes on top of other responsibilities is indeed another challenge.

New episode of BTC! I talk to @stuffbybez.bsky.social about the importance of building & embracing your brand as a game designer. We discuss tailoring games to resonate with an audience, defining a clear creative purpose, and leaning into that vision to strengthen your work.

Tomorrow FRYSK is released. For sale at 42 museums and heritage partners. They EACH have a -free- collectible expansion card that changes the game. And each game is sold with one already. Quite a design challenge, but we uh got it sorted out 😆
