🦋Hi! After years of keeping this under wraps, I'm so excited to announce that I've been working on the upcoming "Margin of the Strange", a new adventure game helmed by @nightmargin ! It's been a great honor and it'd mean a lot if you supported the Kickstarter starting next week!

we rarely consider how important (and strong) negative emotions can be in a game experience, so why not take advantage of that? they can often be memorable moments of the game people look back on, and it's hard to make players feel highs when they can easily avoid lows

this shouldn't be controversial but some games often get risk-adverse to putting the player in scenarios like that, both from a mechanical/narrative standpoint. when you don't have lows like that, all the highs start feeling samey, y'know? they might not even be lows to players
