Interesting times right now… First we had St. Patrick’s Day. And Emerald City Comic Con, which naturally uses the color green rather heavily with the brand. And things are definitely greening up, Seattle hit a temperature high for the month … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2019 by adamantyr

Been awhile since I’ve posted, so here’s where we are… Work has slowed down as I’ve entered the second half of the game’s content. It was bound to happen, unfortunately. Part of this is due to the necessity of creating … Continue reading →
