| Steve's 2024 Recap | 2025-02-18 | 2024 was a year of transitions, as I wrapped up several big projects and settled into my new home. FINISHING UP PROJECTS There were a lot of files to review for Strange Nightmares to make sure everything was good for release. I received early samples of the game and the merch for review as well, and signed a bunch of stuff for the Kickstarter backers. The manufacturing phase took longer than expected so shipping got pushed to January, but it’s been great to finally see the products reaching fans and how happy they are. Check out the How to Play video I made for Strange Nightmares: If you missed out, here’s the store page for Strange Nightmare |
