You're in her DMs. I'm in hiding in Belgrade because my cover was blown in Krasnoyarsk and she caught my scent. Week after week of changing trains, staying in Eastern European hotels under assumed names, planting false signals and burning contacts. And for what. For what. For a dingy flat in Serbia and the vain hope she won't find and kill me. Some days I think of picking up the phone and calling the eight-fingered man in town that I know is her contact. Just letting her know. Letting her know and waiting.

A friend and I are currently working up some fiddle tunes to improvise on that we can play around town, at open mics, in jazz and country bars, etc. and to that end I've been putting together some simple (lofi) recordings, which have been useful for study and improvement.

This is a simple improv game, the rule for which is essentially a game of hot potato where each person plays precisely 16 measures of music, swapping from lead to accompaniment until the players mutually decide to end (or force the other to end, or just stop playing). I'm on mandolin, my pal Alex is playing a six string guitar.

In this tune (Canadian fiddle classic "Whiskey Before Breakfast) there's a (mostly) known chord progression and (mostly) known core melody, but as you can tell by my breaks going well off the rails, the rules are not strict. Reharmonizing, chord substitution, etc are all possible. I play this one fairly conservatively from a chord standpoint, because in my mind Whiskey Before Breakfast has a really iconic chordal movement that's super familiar throughout North America and other parts of the world, and having that facet be not too adventurous is a useful musical limitation.

Anyway, this is interesting to share because it's messy in a way that most recorded music isn't, but often is in living, spontaneous contexts!

i generally haven't been doing a ton of self-promo on here, but anyway: the Steam Autumn Sale is here! you can grab Super Lesbian Animal RPG for 30% off this week

we're also throwing our hat into the ring for the STEAM AWARDS!

you can obviously nominate us for anything you want if you liked the game, but we're personally pushing for the Outstanding Story-Rich Game category, because i feel like SLARPG is a fairly outstanding story-rich game

Frogsong's in the Steam Autumn Sale for the next week, at 20% off!

Frogsong is a narrative-focused actiong RPG in a fantasy world of frogs. It stars Chorus, a tiny non-binary tree frog trying to prove they've got what it takes to join the Defense Guild, despite the other warriors being much larger than them. It has a queer-coded narrative about identity and self love, lots of weird froggy characters, and rumours of an ancient evil monster threatening the world. If this sounds neat, now's your chance to get it at a discount!
