I was gonna say RIP Foonzo, I assume it's not around anymore...
10 years since our first game launched!! Also I'm proud of creating this image even though I'm not the artist on the team ๐
Image of a tv showing the game Ultimate Sheep Raccoon, with a table in the foreground holding controllers and a hand-drawn sign saying "new features".
Testing the new features in Ultimate Sheep Raccoon! And look at that sweet sign ๐

"You are going to take an exam that costs all of your life savings to sit. If you ace this exam, youโll win 2-10 times your life savings. The games-playing public already knows all the answers to the exam, and will tell you if you ask them."
What's this?! Secret news?
We heard your feedback and we've been working on more interactive blocks for the upcoming update to Ultimate Sheep Raccoon. Check out the sea mine and the different ways you can use it!

Love this! Looking for how someone can be "useful" is transactional and can be very apparent to the other person. But once you're friends with someone for a buncha of years, you'll absolutely be "useful" to each other for knowledge, support, rubber-ducking and more cause you have a real connection.
What about for the rest of us ๐ญ
WE DID IT. Making a game is a crazy crazy beast, and it obviously doesn't end with launch. But it feels nice to have this thing out!
It's happening! Finally! DECEMBER 9TH

Last chance to get the Sheep plush! Not to be doing self-promo but I'm trying to avoid the disappointment in the eyes of people who walked by my desk when I had the Chicken plush last time and were like WHAT I CAN'T GET IT ANYMORE

Sometimes Spotify makes some bold choicesโI'm just here listening to some chill Iron Maiden in the morning and it's like "maybe you want SLIPKNOT??? RAAAAGHHHH"
...I'm cool with it
The gods were not entirely kind. But we'll make it work!
NextFest is today! Now we pray to the gods of software to keep the game-breaking bugs at bay ๐
(and we also did QA and stuff but you know)
Just casually making level adjustments on the final work day before NextFest... ๐ฌ

This version of surfing the web sounds wholesome af... unless you lead us to weird dark places ๐ซฃ
Bag of loose mint tea leaves next to a mug with a Zelda logo on it and tea steeping inside it.
Not really a life hack but you can just steep mint leaves instead of getting mint tea and it's like 1/8th the price
A drawing of a squirrel that says "Sir Von Dreymenhymer, 19th century German squirrel architect". The image actually has very little to do with the post, which is a link to a blog post about design. It involves being critical of design without understanding its constraints, and somehow in looking for an image the author found and chose this one to represent it.
New blog post! A design analogy for being a little kinder:
