i make music & games. i have recently started morris dancing. they/them
Finally got my copy of The Old King's Crown (@theoldkingscrown.bsky.social) to the table.

I first played a demo of it at UKGE, I want to say 3 years ago? It was already impressive then, but I can see it's so much more now.

Absolutely spellbinding. Congratulations to the whole team.

I'm overjoyed by this Molly House review from @mattthr.bsky.social in the latest @senetmagazine.bsky.social! It's a wonderful thing when a reviewer gets it, and Matt definitely gets it. Thank you.

Accidentally came 1st in the Kniziathon yesterday! The metrics for ranking were arcane and mysterious to me but the leaderboard can only tell the truth

First sighting of Molly House in the wild! (At @excelsiorbristol.bsky.social)

Still reeling from UKGE. To think this lockdown project I started in 2020 has taken on such a life of its own is absolutely wild. Hard to explain how it felt seeing so many people engage with Molly House and hear about how it had resonated with them.

I've also been playing Winter Rabbit! Ended our second game one tool short of being prepared for winter. So close, yet so far. Absolutely love the design.

I've really enjoyed my time with Winter Rabbit by @willmthompson.bsky.social, published by @absurdistprod.bsky.social, so far. I love how it takes the conventions of economic Euro games and the ideology of 4X games and turns them on their head.

Been having a great time discovering High Tide by @marcelineleiman.bsky.social. A really intricate decision space from minimal rules, and a lovely integration of setting and mechanisms. Can't wait to play more!

I'm at PAX Unplugged this weekend! I'll mostly be at the Wehrlegig stand giving demos of Molly House. Come say hi if you're there.
December 6, 2024 at 12:43 PM
I'm heading to UKGE tomorrow. Will have a Molly House prototype with me, which I'd love to play with some new people. Let me know if you're there and want to try it out!

𝖘𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖗𝖑 - a word game I've been working on for a lil while. You're a squirrel writing words to remember where you buried your acorns. Flip a card, write a letter, use ink powers and finish the words before the end of the game (or you'll lose your acorns and get no points :( )
