More Musical Metaphors
March 31st - via: kickstarter.com
Another Update from Andy. Someday I do hope that we’ll get you an update from Miah on art stuff but she’s head-down drawing stuff so it’s only Andy with time to chat about game design (and music). Today’s musical metaphor is being employed to... (Read More)

Reduction in our Bulk-Order Prices (If you're not a retail shop, you can ignore this update)
March 14th - via: kickstarter.com
