I'm Alfred of the Haus of Valley. I make analog games – y'know, things you play on a real life table. I'm based in London, UK.
I'm best known for solo games and the messy intermingling of analog and digital.
My newsletter is a good way to stay updated: www.hausofvalley.com/subscribe

This made me kind of emotional. David, Daniel and Chris really seemed to understand lot of the things I was trying to do with Thousand Empty Light.

I ended up getting this, a Nuphy Air75 v2. Whilst no-one suggested this particular keyboard, everyone's suggestions helped point me in the right direction (so thank you).
I'm typing this with tasteful mechanical thocks.
