Extremely happy to learn that both neighbor cats survived being outdoor cats for the winter 😭 Now for a summer of me spoiling them.

Like I said. Kobo has been over there keeping on keeping on this whole time. If you don't know about them, it's a great time to learn!
It's been three years since the three-years-of-funding Kickstarter campaign for Lancer Tactics completed. Time for a report card! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wic...
Additionally, the Module Editor is live. Lancer Tactics is now equipped with essentially a miniature visual novel editor.

Did you know that when companies cancel big, long-standing projects or shutter studios, they can write off the associated costs of development/operations as a business loss on their taxes?
Your labor and livelihood should never be sacrificed just to give a corporation a tax write off.
I have never wanted to make a multiplayer game but now that there is Photon for Godot...

A photo of Punch the monkey clinging to the leg of one of his favourite zoo keepers while the keeper is walking with a large pail of food. There is also Pawmi slightly over the photo. Next to it is a sketch of a person (me) walking in a similar way with a Pawmi clinging to my leg.
Punch and his favourite zoo keeper except it’s Pokémon Trainer Kylie and a Pawmi.
