Okay it's not quite new years yet but I'm unlikely to make a new full release within a week so like here is a retrospective, and a look at what we know is on the horizon for 2021
So I dropped 6 games (okay really 4, a cookbook, and a shit post) so here's a thing on each of them
Karen Quest was the first thing I ever released, a one page shit post and hate letter to retail work. Legitimately a good engine but buried by a legitimately unfun RP because no one like being yelled at RIP. I'll probably make something else with the system eventually.
I Didn't Say I Was an Incredible Game Designer [...] Has been a lot of fun to work on tbh. I shelved some ideas, and have a bunch of shit half done waiting on Record Jam to be an excuse to release it, more on this game later in this thread
Fragmented: my baby! Truly love this game, super proud of it it, says everything I wanted to say when I started writing. It was the more successful than KQ which isn't surprising, but keeping hype up was hard because it's again a super niche 2 player journaling game.
Really made me like journaling games tho 10/10. Went into a Shitpost era after this
Ritual Recipes and Main Character were both spite jam ass shit posts, but Recipes actually turned into a thing I'm continuing to work on. Really enjoy making stupid recipes for it. Gonna get more of those in the new year too.
And then finally Dormancy, my Light supplement. It's been significantly more successful than anything else I've put out, and we are truly like a week out from me having posted it. Wild
Wouldn't have been able to make it without the Chiodos game getting me to write less wordy

But it's also nice because now it's clear I can write a mechanic or too, and adapt for other systems. Really has me wanting to write things that aren't just journaling games, although I'm deff gonna keep making those too.
Looking forward tho!
January/February should see the release of two major things from me.
1) Haunted: my single player Fragmented: hack is coming out, after I get out some podcasts for it and do other stuff early January.

2) Im also releasing an SRD so everyone else can make Fragmented:/Haunted: style journaling games, and hosting a game jam to support it! The Broken: jam should come out alongside Haunted: but I'm hoping people release more journaling games with me tbh
Also in the pipeline is more games for the Chiodos collection, more recipes for Ritual. Post Reco Jam I'm also gonna look at print options for the Chiodos game, but really gotta examine some legality questions there lmao.
Even more tho, I've started actual work on Hecatomb, a.... Ambitious crunchy hex crawl I'm working on currently! I'm hoping it comes together and works out and I release in 2021 but we will see.
Also sign up for my newsletter, gonna put put out a quarterly with info about what is out/what's coming, and games I just like
