My final Design Diary for The Awards 2026 is live, and it's really not even a design diary. I'm just making some final decisions and gathering all of my thoughts for what The Awards will look like when it launches next month

The (in progress) cover for Oceans and Spirals. I'm imitating paperback crime novels because you're a crime novelist in the game
A smorgasbord of items arriving in the online shop. Visible are board games Fairy, Propolis, Aqua, Stella Quest, and Sail. TTRPGs like Pigeon's Eleven, Starlee Davidson, The Last Hand, The Bonsai Diary, Going for Broke, Witchflip, An Infinity of Ships, and cards from Instant Star Ships. Also visible, accessories like a folding dice tray with a tiny wizard in it
FRESH STUFF ARRIVES IN A WEEK! It's a sci-fi world building bonanza plus bonsai-growing, wandering knights, and Wild West creature-fighting survival-horror. Medieval bees! Rival art curators! Witches and wacky roommates! Metaphysical explorations of human emotion (both TTRPG and board game) +more
🤔🤔🤔 hmmmm
I'm a big fan

Hey! We are about 2 weeks into the #LeanGreenZineJam!
Have I made any good progress on my own submission? No!
Should you join in on the fun? Hell yeah!
Idea might be cooking for a horror micro game companion for a dungeon synth tape.
Too many game projects going on, but this could be a fun one
A blue zine mockup for a game called Chord, the cover shows a morose face surrounded by piano keys and small creatures hopping around them.
CHORD is coming March 24, two player miniature capture the flag skirmish game played on a piano keyboard that generates ambient music while you play.
My first skirmish game release!
Pay what you want on itch and a few scrappy diy zines in my bag at adepticon.
Lemme know if you want title/artist for any of these
20 or so various zines on a black display rack
Reorganized my office and got a little zine display (display rack recommended by @bexagons.bsky.social )

Ohh would love to see what you come up with for the jam!
💕 🥺
Thank you my friend
Also go make a cool zine for this jam it seems super neat and Im brainstorming something right now!
Yeah I'm digging Echoes so far!
Just finished Outer Wilds. I had recently started it over after not finishing years ago. Was overdue because I loved my time with it.
Also immediately rolled into Echoes of the Eye. I did turn on the spooky filter as the base game scared the shit out of me.
I'm sorry for your loss Kaiya
my cats appreciate me getting fatter.
much better dough for making biscuits
Playtesting is overrated. Just let it remain as your pristine vision.
A nerve wracking process for sure
Yeah, not a lot of good news happening today
Awesome! I just responded to the question on itch
It's Friday! Have you signed up for the #LeanGreenZineJam yet?
I made some edits to the rules to be clearer that ANY kind of zine is welcome, not just game zines.
Also, I added more resource links to help with the journey, including the Print it Yourself series by @shoutingcrow.bsky.social!
Quire Presents: SCAR TISSUE.
A game jam about the things you don't forgive yourself for. March 1st on Itch.
