We funded our first game, Gibbous, on Kickstarter 10 years ago.
Was looking for something else and found these pictures.

We've been doing the thing we love for a living for a decade now, and it's thanks to people like you who support and encourage us.

Thanks, guys!

The Mitzkin files, case 1: classic Mitzkin.
The least elusive of the bunch.
Hangs out on tree branches. Loves light.
Can't get enough of raspberries.

Can't be objective but one of my favorite things in Hocus Focus is color-theming my room and my pets.

The Flamekin is there for contrast, btw.
