Reinstate our teammates now! Kickstarter is retaliating against our union members for our legally-protected strike action in October 2025. Four union members have been laid off or forced to leave our union by leadership, despite clear business needs for these members' roles. Email Kickstarter's CEO and tell him this is illegal and unacceptable! e@kickstarter.com

Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE

Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

The trailer for Lodge is here! @timchuon.bsky.social did a phenomenal job with it—I've watched this so many times!

It is so strange and wonderful to see a little idea I had turned into something as beautiful as this.

🛝 The gravity tray in Lodge is truly one of a kind.

JID - GDLU was AMAZING! It was fighting for my favorite of the year as well.

The Gang is probably my most played game of the year!

Yes it is! Spatial puzzle where you are building a ski lodge in the Swiss Alps. It's an AMAZING game.

I just approved the final in game illustration for Lodge. We busted our ass on this. Gameplay rules and the art looks sick. @kickstarter.com here we come!

A completed game of Lodge. Two player areas have several room tiles with guests in them, and the center market displays room tiles on a tray, as well as guests and amenities.

I just played my first round of Lodge with a pre-production copy with my mom, and she beat me 51-37! So excited to bring this cozy game to you all soon. #lodgegame
