Since my Steam page went live in November I get the same DM every week: "how many wishlists, is it good ?" So voilà, everything, the good and the plate.

I was so nervous I drank 3 oolong teas before the first player sat down (=^･ω･^=) 学んだこと / what I learned Nobody reads the tutorial text. 0 of 23. Zero. They pressed buttons until something happened. I am replacing all the text with a cat who points at things. 6 people got stuck on the same…
my farming game was supposed to take 6 months. it is now year 3. i want to write down how that happened because i genuinely did not notice it while it was happening, and maybe someone reading this is in month 4 right now month 1 to 6: farming, a small town, 5 crops. the actual game. it was fun and nearly done then: "it would be cool if there was fishing". fishing took 2 months because fishing needed a minigame, new…
