Game Design Blog: Malevolence Podcast Roundup (21-24)

Hello everybody! I just got back from Space City Con in Houston, plus an extra day of slacking off, but now I’m home again and we return to business as usual. Well, mostly. I met a lot of great people at SCC! Thanks to everyone who came to the Gryphonwood booth and talked to us, it’s really rewarding to see the actual readers in person and to watch them get more and more interested as they check out our books.

I’ll be working for the next few weeks on the edited, polished version of the Precognition manuscript, which will go up here on the website when the paperback is released by...

Well, everyone, this is it. Time to really wrap this baby up. Today begins Part 65, the ending and epilogue. In the tradition of ending STREET books, I’ll be releasing more than the usual number of segments over the next week or two, smaller vignettes which are going to finish up each character arc one by one. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride; it’s been close to six years since I started working on STREET, and boy has it been a rollercoaster! My life is immeasurably different now than when I started. Back then, I couldn’t...
