🤩 Citizen Sleeper is one of my favourite games - its vibes, characters, world, storytelling and TTRPG inspiration are all absolutely the type of stuff I love, and handled so well. Very excited to be able to dig into the next stage of this series!

Having the happiest little moment: my decades-long obsession with zines, TTRPGs, and the space where they intersect is getting so much love and energy these days. (There are dozens of us! Dozens!) This is going to be a whole series, now. Lemme get organized overnight, interviews start tomorrow!

The secret to a good layout? Good writing and good typography. If either of those are bad, your rpg's layout will look bad. This week on Explorers Design, I delve into typography. How to set it up, pair it, and why. I cite a lot of sources. #ttrpg www.explorersdesign.com/typography-1...

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

🌟 Meredith is the best, super lovely and connected and her Indie Dev Digest is invaluable - check it out, submit stuff, subscribe, share it around. It can be so hard to keep track of things in the indie scene, and this resource helps a tonne!

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

Built a NFC based retro game station for my daughter and I. PC for CRT shader emulation, Retroarch to run the cores and custom software to load the roms. I really love the physicality of having cartridges and making this has been great fun. All files here: www.printables.com/model/105362...
