Vol XXXIII

Shipping Cut the Deck to New Zealand and Australian customers is 60% complete! Please reply to the email I sent out in the last few days so I can lock down your order!!
There are 3 spare God Editions of the game left for NZ/AU customers

The bank froze my credit card because I've been spending so much on shipping... All sorted now! It's fine!!

Worldwide shipping has also begun!

The game has had its first positive review! Yay!

We'll be rolling out some FAQ answers on the website today in response to early feedback

I've got a few in-person events lined up for April and a few more to lock down

Emotionally, I am feeling a lot less burdened now that the game exists and people have their copies. There's still a bit of work to do, but the tension in my body has noticeably reduced. Everyone keeps asking if I'm proud of getting it done, but I'm still "in the task" for now so I'll reflect on it properly later, I think. It's pretty cool seeing a mountain of copies with my art all over them though!

Swords will return April 1st!

It's the end of the financial year so I'm going to be doing my taxes for a while... It's fine!!

Today is CubaDupa in Wellington, so if you're around and you've got the time, why not head down to Caffeinated Dragon and try their floor copy of Cut the Deck?

As for my usual media-binging update... Finished Dr Stone (for now), watched the 6th-11th Pokemon movies (fell asleep during most of them), Severance episode 4 and I'm deciding if I want to start 30 Rock. I'd really like to play Final Fantasy IX again, I keep thinking how nice it would be.

Anyway, how are you? What's your take on this whole Ghibli AI thing? Do you need anything from me this week?
