Alright now on to some non game stuff, I completely redid The Forgettable Dungeon's website the other day,

Made a timelapse by combining all the pics I've taken in the last four months of development, this was fun to do. Going to have to make a big one when the game finally ships.

I mentioned last post about the Boston FIG show, I showed the game there and the response was great! People really enjoyed playing it and even came back multiple times to play.

Showing the game at FIG lead to some fun opportunities, like talking! I have now given two talks about game design here's a pic from the one I did in Rhode Island specifically about hack n' slash games, also talking with me was the senior producer of God of War 1, 2, & 3. How crazy is that? The guy really knew his stuff
