🦔Production Updates🦔
The Storm cards are all printed and ready to ship!
For the new hedgehog plushie, I did a couple rounds of feedback with the new plushie factory. Production will start when everything is approved. The biggest change is a slightly darker fur and a bigger more durable zipper hinging in the front instead of the back (so you don't see the zipper from the front.) The ears looked too big and the face less cute than my prototype I gave them, so I'm waiting for the next sample to make sure they can do it perfectly.

I didn't design the hedgehog plushie's butt tag or hand tag yet. That's the next step!



The Doom Cat plushies are making progress too, but I think it will take another couple rounds back and forth until they are perfect!

Art is starting to come together for our spring games: Otter and Capybara Crush. More info on those soon!

🦔Home Life!🦔

It's been a busy two weeks full of surprises. Right before we launched this campaign, a friend called me to see if I could help out a game design class at the China Academy of Art/ L'École de design Nantes Atlantique. That little lecture turned into a job interview which turned into a job offer for next year! I need to look over the contracts, but I might go back to teaching. The job has 2 months off for winter and 2 months off for summer, plus I would have time everyday for family and continuing to design and publish games. 

Speaking of family, Thursday morning, we welcomed my first baby into the world! She was due next month, but she was too excited to wait! :D


🦔Question of the Day🦔

How's life? Celebrate Thanksgiving? Playing any good games lately? Get any good games on sale?

🦔Park Life: Storm Fully Funded 1 hour before launching!!!🦔

🦔It's been an awesome day so far!🦔

 Apparently, people with the direct page link could back before the campaign went public, so we were already funded when we launched. Not sure if it was a bug, but I like starting without any anxiety!

We have about 60 backers at the moment. 10 got a bundle with the all the Park Life games. Happy to have you here! 6 people spent a dollar to upgrade the PNP files. 27 got the Storm expansion alone. And 28 got the Upgrade Pack.  Thank you for believing in Park Life again! Happy to have you back! Spread the word if you can! :)

We are only live for 2 weeks, so if you haven't backed yet, now is a great time since we'll be over before you know it!


🦔FAQ: Storm Compatibility🦔

Storm comes in a pocket sized box and has hedgehog art, but it is compatible with all the Park Life games before. People, Hedgehog, pocket sized, deluxe sized, it's all good! I'll make a strategy guide later explaining how it changes each game dramatically! 


🦔FAQ: Stretch Goals🦔

 I'm not planning to run any this time! But there will be some exciting reveals along the way!
