New prototype of Starlite Diner (my current co-design with Jay Bucciarelli) is looking 🔥 and playing great! Real-time cooking + robots + space = ❤️ Plays 2-6, runs about 45 min and feels a lot faster :)

@tim_virnig I don’t know that I’ll be posting much, but I’m definitely getting back to some creative stuff so who knows :) I’m still mostly a Facebook kinda gal.

It’s been so long since I logged into this account that I realized I needed to update my bio— now mama to *five* awesome girls, not four! Can’t think of anything I’m more proud of, and I sure feel blessed by every one of my little ladies.

@tim_virnig Can you believe it’s been that long since I logged in that I’m just seeing this now? Sheesh. Thank you :) 🙏 I’m sure crazy about my family and so lucky to have them!

@TimClarePoet I remember being in middle school and thinking randomly during class one day about how it was theoretically possible to shuffle a deck into perfect order by suit, by accident…and how, if I ever did, I might actually lose my mind because no one would ever believe me about it.

Spring. Everything is rainy and green and sunny and sparkly. Buds and new leaves everywhere, birds coming back to nest. Summer is golden but spring is so ALIVE. So good.

@GeekyGaymerGuy @oinkgms The graphic design on this game is 🔥

@PlumpyThimble @Leland_Steel All I can think when I look at this is how surprised those sunflower seeds must have been. I bet in their wildest dreams they never expected to end up taco flavored

[Liberty Kifer @lightheartgames]

@TheUnpub @CardboardEdison Hope you enjoyed Starlite Diner!

[Liberty Kifer @lightheartgames]

Abstract by my 3.5yo, I love it 😍 watching my kids express themselves through words, art, and movement has been one of the biggest thrills of my life :)

Sometimes in retrospect it’s not that you missed red flags, it’s that you ignored the absence of green ones.

[Liberty Kifer @lightheartgames]

Starlite Diner got a nice mention on Dicebreaker, along with some of the other Cardboard Edison finalists. I wish I could try all of these! Such a fun mix :)

@CardboardEdison @PamWGameDesign This is so helpful! Some of these I knew about but a few hadn’t occurred to me. Great video presented well :)

@gamesandbourbon This is the true Turing test

I’m not saying I’m the Mommest Mom who ever Mommed, but I do call herbal tea “hairball tea” and say “bruh” to my teenagers just to watch them roll their eyes

@CalligraphyGame Watch out for space worms!

[Liberty Kifer @lightheartgames]

Could not be more thrilled to be on this list with Starlite Diner! To be chosen as one of 14 finalists in a field of 339 games is crazy and humbling.

My co-designer Jay and I have put a ton of love in this game and can’t wait for more people to play it ❤️ Congrats to all!
