I like new Dune as much as the next person, but why does every culture in the Dune universe seem to love sparsely decorated monochrome modernism?

Heart Projector Volume 12: The Way Forward is Back

A roaring success! A delightful show! Easily in my top-three HP shows of all time. People hunched over gameboys of various makes, under a harsh fluorescent bulb... playing OUR games! Thanks @matthughson! #gbdev #homebrew #nesdev

#Trollmother updated! You can choose to have stat updates at the end of activities instead of a brief pause.

Early layout sketches and character portraits. The transformed princess was originally a sheep. #Trollmother #gbcompo23

Early Trollmother sketches, back when I was still figuring out the basic design. The Gruvrå was cut from the Jam release. #Trollmother #gbcompo23

Trollmother. Steeped in rich old-world magic vibes. An orphan raised by trolls in the woods. Lurk under bridges, work the mines, fall in love with forest creatures and townsfolk. Plumb the game's thoughtful depths... Then play it again! https://t.co/6ksi0seBcD #GameBoy #gbcompo23

Troll Mother @josefolsson

Play as a troll which raises a kid from the woods. You decide what he does and this will make his stats change. The kid will find characters to talk to along the way. Probably has multiple endings.
Great graphics and storytelling!
