Seven Kisses DevLog

At the End of last month (January 2025) I released Seven Kisses , a card based RPG/card game with Role Playing elements depending on how you'd like to play it, for the 1929 Jam. I had a blast making it, and it really pushed me in the process. Lately I've been kind of blessed to work on several games that have pushed me as a designer past my previous skills and it's been a very rewarding process to feel that joy after crunching through another game design knot. And there were...plenty of knots in the process of designing Seven Kisses . Devlog "The Kiss" (1929), "Madame X (1929)   "Seven Footprints to Satan" 1929 "Spite Marriage"  inspo for a character  Elements: drama, altered timelines, court drama, love angles, murder, adultery, jealousy, money Format: accepting TTRPGs, larps and board games and card games  I’m feeling card game bc also I could design a custom deck  When drawing cards what’s the longest streak you can connect via number O...

How Right Is The Price?

It’s so far past my bedtime it’s not even funny but while I struggle with my sleep rhythm and lay here hopefully soon to fall asleep I couldn’t stop thinking about the recent resurfacing of the ancient and yet evergreen issue of how to price indie games- PDFs especially. And as with many things lately, my instinct was to design about it. After the fugue state was over I found I still had some thoughts, so here we are.  Have you ever scrolled on itch and found a game you wanted to get and thought… “How much should I pay for this PDF?” - Step One: Keep this handy chart and a d6 ready on the side Step Two: Pick a game off your wishlist on itch.io or from one of the many games on the browse pages Step Three: Go to buy the game and before confirming the price, roll 1d6 and follow the instructions on the IVA-Chart I Value Art Chart (IVA Chart) 1. The suggested price on the Pay What You Can Suggestion + a $15 tip 2. $50, if the game is over $50 roll again 3. Whatever th...

I tried to make a game jam about something specific and ended up making a second game jam

Sometimes inspiration is a blessing, other times... it's a somewhat more exhausting blessing.  I was supposed to set up a page for my unconventional mechanics game jam. and I was. I had the page open, I clicked the title field and thought, huh. I can't help but think of "Hack the Planet" right now, weird. "Game-ify the Planet" would be fun. That reminds me more of what my friends describe as my tendency to game-ify my life. Look, I have ADHD, I have No Medication for it and I have to entertain myself somehow constantly. If you've ever heard it you'll know I've often said "if you've ever entertained a kid you're a game designer." Sometimes (often) the kid I have to entertain is myself.  So far, I've game-ified listening to music (my Spotify Wrapped is a year-long game I play against myself and I almost always lose, but it's SO much fun to play literally all year long)(g ame link to come ), watching TV ( First Impressions ...
