Weekly Update 10/19/2026

My 2027 road map is almost in focus! Here’s what I’ve been up to:

Last Week

  • I finished release tasks for Your First Spellbook!
  • DriveThru RPG’s Halloween sale is started, and itch.io is soon. I started putting together some things for that.
  • Star Solo Roadmap is gathered – I still need to run a survey before I can finalize it.
  • I ran a Dwarf Mine and Your First Spellbook survey, hoping to gather feedback about the games and expansions I want to make for next year.

This Week

This week I’m running more surveys, getting ready for the Halloween sale, playing games and maybe doing some concept design for next year.

  • I’m sending out a Star Solo survey and a Fantasy Civ Solo survey to help me plan for next year!
  • I’ll also be finalizing my Halloween sale!
  • If I have the time/motivation, I’ll start some concept design for next year. Most expansions I’m planning already have some level of concept design (or playtest design) done, but survey results help me refine my concept.
  • But most importantly…I’m going to be paying games for the rest of the month! A huge part of the joy of game design for me is doing the other parts of the gaming hobby – namely playing games. Sometimes I like to lose myself in gaming, and I think I’m going to try to do that a bit over the next few weeks.

I’m looking forward to gaming with you! As always, thank you for being a fan of games!
