Hey everyone!

Remember this blog? It’s been a while since I posted regularly about what I’ve been working on. Sure, there was the odd update and catch-up here and there, but there was so much that wasn’t mentioned here, from new game prototypes, to a new design being picked up by two publishers and even winning an award before it was out!

Why did I stop posting? Let’s get into it.

If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen me talk about most of these things. It was so easy to tweet a photo or a quick note about something, compared to writing a proper post here, and there was an eager audience that engaged with it. But at the rate that Twitter is imploding, I can’t count on it being there for very long. So I will be turning some of those tweets and threads into blog posts, and possibly turning Twitter URLs into screenshots instead, to make them more future-proof. Also, if you follow me on Twitter I’d like to ask you to follow me on Mastodon instead, because I’m not using Twitter anymore.

I still work in videogames during the day, just as I have for the last 13 years. Doing so has required five international relocations so far, which certainly had its fun aspects but it also meant having to leave my design group and playtesters behind more than once. It’s no coincidence that my games started focusing on smaller player counts. They’re the ones I can playtest at home.

Last but definitely not least, I spent several years working with a very controlling boardgame publisher who kept their eye on my social media and complained whenever I posted about other projects, so I stopped posting – but I didn’t stop sketching other games. I had to. It was the only creative outlet during those years working on games I did not want to make. It burned me out and I’m still recovering, so naturally the pace has had to change.

That chapter is over. I’m not working with them anymore, the games are out of print and the rights have reverted back to me. But I am getting ahead of myself. I’ll have more to say about that later.

So welcome back, and I hope you stick around for the new posts!
