Someone told me Matt Ritter's game is out! And look, it's true!
Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago has just released!
The pitch is JRPG + Virtual Pet + Idle Game = Fun?
If that sounds fun, go check it out!

This is within a few dollars of making its goal:
I'm making a rare foray back to this site, because Mark Darin launched a kickstarter today and everyone should know about it: kickstarter.com/projects/pin…

The baby hero is pretty cute.

Tamagotchi + JRPG = Fun? (I hope)

I only learned about this game ten minutes ago, but Matthew Ritter is somebody I know from Telltale a few years back so I'm passing it along to you. With a warning to watch out for puns!
Obviously this is a promotional thing for store.steampowered.com/app/2… The actual Fairy Queen doesn't like me very much.

Return to Monkey Island celebrates its one-year anniversary today!
It's still unbelievable that we were lucky enough to work with @TerribleToybox on the legendary series.
Grab it for 40% off at various merchants and be on the lookout for new things to watch and wear soon...

It's me, your pal Rex!
A quick sketch, planning out the new details that would be needed in the Dock location. New additions included the walkway to the Outer Dock, trying out a more modern upgrade on the Scumm Bar, and LeChuck’s ominous ship moored on the horizon.

Greetings - Rex again!
This was a quick initial doodle of how the next generation of buccaneering might look. A version of (H) ended up in the game, playing cards against herself. And (G) ultimately became Marlon Marlin, the fanciest diner to ever enter the Scumm Bar. 🦜

Ah, Melee Island, it's good to see you again. We storyboarded every cutscene, close-up shot, and complex scripted sequence, so we could play the game with placeholder animatics and get a feel for the timings and framing before doing all the final art and tricky scripting. 🎞️
