Play Test Leads to Play Mess

Okay, I reached a bit on that post title. It’s not like I’m a professional at this whole writing thing. All jokes aside, the play test for the Cithria Card Game happened a few weeks back and I wanted to keep everyone updated on how that went.

There’s a new Dev Diary up at filenotfound.studio, this one delving a bit into the structure and rules of the game, at least from a high level.

Nightmare Consolidated

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting weekly chapters for a short story called Nightmare, set in the world of Rise of Cithria. Now that the story is complete (well, part 1 at least) I wanted to make it easier for new readers by consolidating all the Nightmare links into this one post. If and when a part 2 comes,… Read more →
