Really feeling that sleepy goblin energy but I'll be at the Indie Game Emporium today for #TorontoGamesWeek2026 selling merch from our previous games Russian Subway Dogs and They Bleed Pixels today!

Allen Gardens 4pm - 9pm

(Goblin Girl Game demo secretly playable if you ask!)

Now that the full yawn->sleep->wake animation sequence is finished this is the longest portrait animation yet! Most of what I have left for gameplay portraits are longer sequences with bigger pose changes like this, so may not stay the longest!

f you read the Goblin Girl Game section be sure to click on the links in the text. I linked to relevant videos and writing by several folks I think are doing a great job covering retro games in a smart, thoughtful way!
