That's my plan and I am already considering how to combine some of the prompts. I am looking forward to sketching these.

Unfortunately, we're visiting Zinetopia today, so that's not something I can sketch out in public. 😅

I absolutely love this fellow Zinetopia project. Do I have the time to make adorable terrain? Shhhh. That’s future Matt’s concern.

I still have the flu.

I still have a Zinetopia project.

Please follow either, preferably the game, as the flu does not need more followers.
My back hurts so much because of the flu. I wish I had something clever to write here.

Instead, go follow my Zinetopia project: tinyurl.com/blightfalltt...

We’re one away from 50 followers, and I just know that the 50th follow is going to cure me of the flu*.

*It will not.

Hi Iain! I have a game launching in February, hopefully part of Backerkit's Zinetopia event. Would love to get your eyes on it: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Also, here's a playtest review that does a good job summarizing what it's like to play the game:
