I published this scrappy, weird little adventure game back in 2021. Travelers of Tryphosa is one of my favourite accomplishments, there’s nothing like putting your own creations into the world.
I have decided to clear out the few remaining copies for a deep discount, and donate any extras to charity! End of one chapter, beginning of the next.

I want to create a mascot character for Mindfruit Games that appears in various places on the website and socials and stuff. Could be fun to expand the lore around my games.

What kind of character do you think it should be and why? A person, animal, bug, robot? Maybe they like fruit.

I have mostly made fantasy themed games with a cartoony style so whatever it is will probably match that.

One of the best things you can do to support your favourite game publisher right now is buy direct.

To encourage this, many publishers are having sales. Deanna has put together a list:

Our first ever Board Game Publisher Interview.

We hosted a live AMA with Marc Specter of Grand Gamers Guild who is a previous sponsor or our podcast.

Note this was recorded before the whole tariff thing, so don't expect any discussion on that.

Game related achievements/to-do list.

Last week, I…
⭕ went to Tabletop Scotland. Demoed stuff. Sold stuff. Got ideas. 2pm Sunday had 15 folk at my event.
⭕ emailed Spiral Galaxy
⭕ sent out invoices
⭕ sent out another shitty email
⭕ remade the rules to my DCG
⭕ sent #DrawnTogetherGame to everyone who asked for it.

Next week, I will…
❗ Go back to London
❗ test something on Friday. Probably the last ELL deck contest games
❗ email/message all ELL deck game design contest entrants
❗ do some solo testing (probably of Questabell and also Survivell)
❓ start the KS survey for CATEGORICKELL
❓ post stuff to folk who ordered on my shop
❓ email --- to see if I can maybe get an appointment at Spiel
❓ email __ about a contract that I'm unhappy with
❓ look for the sheet of paper with the info I need to send Spiral Galaxy

I need help…
♥️ Questabell is at the point where I'd say it's gone from design into development. We have 50 levels and it's a case of tweaking those levels so they are all interesting, varied, and generally rise in difficulty. If you like the idea of a 1-4p co-op mission-based word game, please reach out. PnP.

♥️ #DrawnTogetherGame (the first 2 sheets) could also use playtesting. Competitive cutthroat strategic colouring in. It's 'done' but I need folk willing to play 2x (switching objectives for the 2nd game) so I can start gathering data to see if they need to be balanced. PnP.

Thinking of posting a bit of Jack of Peace Games financials. Would people find that helpful as a really small indie publisher that sells very low amounts of games?

In my designer journey I've appreciated the updates given by Matthew Dunsten and Daniel Solis and I was wondering if anyone else might find it helpful?
