I’ve been asked a lot lately: my upcoming game Thousand Hells currently has about 478K words of text (more than the first four Harry Potter novels combined). #ThousandHells

Large house in a quiet street, with plaster walls leaving wood beams visible. Text shows conversation between you and your old mentor, who is asking you to retrieve the Only King’s seal.

I’m not sure how St Rat is involved with soccer (if someone is brave enough to view a random QR, let me know!)

Small yard sign of a rat standing on a field labeled SEATTLE. A soccer ball is incoming. The bottom includes a blue, white, pink trans flag and a QR code.

Yes, I feel blessed (no pun intended) to have St Rat nearby.

For #ThousandHells, typically placeholder art says “Placeholder Art”

There’s a face in my cat

Yes! Even from the side they’re cool! (This is from #SixAges 2.)

I don’t usually follow football, but apparently I got excited watching the Seahawks play yesterday…

I vaguely remember a review of Coma saying the sinister hospital played a key role, if 70s is OK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coma_(1... I guess it’s this images1.loopnet.com/i2/8zXuQIaQL...

Waiting room chair looks a lot like the game I’m hoping to prototype…

New devlog for my game Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists has the scuttlebutt on its tactical narrative game, which lets you use your team to resolve story challenges (video but also a text version) store.steampowered.com/news/app/379... #ThousandHells

Example of the tactical narrative game. The story so far is on the left, along with bags of tiles and the team illustrations. The right shows three situations, and four tiles that can be played to a situation. (Not all art is final.)

David Dunham@radiofreelunch· Nov 27

Huh, I guess we must have paid. Though it was worth it without him.

David Dunham@radiofreelunch· Nov 19

Bought this because of the demo (and because it’s on Mac). Surprised there’s no trailer on the Steam page? (It actually is playable despite the “coming soon” and black area…)

David Dunham@radiofreelunch· Nov 7

Thousand Hells tells stories mixing Orpheus and Ocean’s 11: you lead a team of hell-farers to rescue murdered boys or loot a demon bank. It’s a unique tactical narrative game.

I was very tempted by this beer but Pilsner is probably my least favorite style so I finally ended up leaving it in the supermarket.

Selection of beer cans in an open cooler. One reads “NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF” in large letters, “German-style Pilsner” much smaller at the bottom.

Good one, Amazon! (I do not own a guitar, so this cannot be based on my order or search history.)

At 11:00 PDT today I’ll be having a Reddit AMA www.reddit.com/r/Games/comm... to talk about my upcoming game (or, well, anything).

The Blue Angels have the advantage that they scare away the planes that normally fly noisily overhead (we live in the flight path to SeaTac airport).

Starting at 11:00 PDT next Saturday (9 August), I’ll be answering questions about my next game (blog.sixages.com/index.php/20...) in a Reddit AMA. More details next week!
