Today is the day. A demo for Perfect Tides: Station to Station is now available on Steam. Please enjoy!
It’s an incredible thrill to be offering this first look at this game, which could not exist without the artists who’ve helped to craft it. Please join me in celebrating the work of the core team Soren Hughes (Background Design) and Daniel Kobylarz (Music), as well as the artists who have contributed graphic assets: Garrett Hobson, Carly Monardo, and Tony Wilson.
This build has also benefitted from dozens of hours of testing and feedback, thanks to a generous and dedicated pool of playtesters. You will find their names at the end of the demo, when you’ve experienced their efforts for yourself.
While you’re downloading, consider wishlisting the game! It keeps you abreast of game updates, feeds the Steam algo, and is a big help toward getting the word out about these games.

Octopus Pie: The Complete Series Box Set - Coming in September 2023!
I’m delighted to announce that you’ll soon be able to collect the whole Octopus Pie series in a neat, handsome box! Coming September 19th from me & Image Comics. You can read the full press release here.
The boxes, along with all 5 Image volumes, feature new artwork and - perhaps most excitingly - a custom insert that aligns them together on the shelf! Finally, my youthful page formatting decisions, corrected and… vindicated??
If you’ve been trying to hunt these books down for a while, you’ll be happy to know this release coincides with a REPRINT of Vol 1. Check the press release to find a comic shop that’s got your back, or pre-order the whole set from a major retailer.
What does this mean if you want the box, but already own the Image books? Well, apart from the clout of being an original OP head, I’ll have a limited but mighty supply of empty boxes for you. I’ll offer these online in the near future - more info when I’ve got it!
It’s really fun to have a new OP thing in the mix, and after months of planning and prototyping, I’m so pleased to share what we’ve made. Thank you for all the love, 16 years on!

Hi everyone here! I wanted to let you know I’m planning to make another Perfect Tides game. I’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign all month to help fund it. Rewards include a discounted copy of the original Perfect Tides, plus lots of other goodies. You can find the Kickstarter here:

You can also watch a teaser trailer here. I hope you will join me in bringing this game to life!

You know I only post on here when it's a BIG DEAL. And folks, the deal is big. My point & click adventure game Perfect Tides is now out on PC + Mac! You can get it on Steam or Itch.io.
If you're a fan of Octopus Pie you can expect the kind of stories I like to tell most. But this time, you see the world through the eyes of a teenager. It may be my most immersive endeavor yet, and I've put my whole heart into it. I hope you enjoy!

Octopus Pie in reruns!
Hey all, if you’d like to reread Octopus Pie as a daily comic strip with commentary - or you never got through the whole thing while it was updating - you can start today! I won’t be x-posting to Tumblr this time around - it’s just too time-consuming in addition to my other work - so be sure to bookmark http://www.octopuspie.com to enjoy a new strip every day!

There’s less than 48 hours to get in on backing Perfect Tides! We’re now very close to a 40k stretch goal, where the minicomic for backers will be in full color. Check out the trailer if you haven’t, and considering pledging to my next big project!
Perfect Tides
Hi Tumblr people, it’s been quiet for a bit!! But I have been working on something that you may want to hear about: my first ever game, Perfect Tides!! It’s a point and click adventure about being a teen. Written, directed and animated by me, with environments by Soren Hughes.
I’ve just begun fundraising on the game. If you’d like to preview the trailer and initial art, and maybe be a part of making this project a reality, click the link and have a look!

Hey, I've been a fan of Octopus Pie for years and as soon as I saw the game announcement I wanted to back it instantly, but sadly Kickstarter doesn't take paypal. ;n; Is there another way for me to contribute to the game?
I appreciate the sentiment! Something you could do is contribute to my ongoing Patreon campaign. Since I’m reserving the KS bucks for freelancer payouts, Patreon is the part that actually pays me to work on the game. Anything at all is a big help!

I’m back from my USA book tour, and finally have a window of time to sell some Octopus Pie books directly! If you’ve been waiting to get a signed copy of Volume 5, this is your chance. The other books are also available individually or in a 5-pack. Each copy bought from me is signed - optionally, you can add a sketch as well! This sale will end on Sunday night, August 6th, so hop over there now!
If getting a book isn’t enough, there’s a cause as well! Proceeds from the first 50 books sold will be donated to Black & Pink, an organization working with and advocating for LGBTQ inmates. Even if you’re not getting a book, check them out and support the vital work they do.
A note on buying books: if you get a 5-pack, there’s a good chance you’ll need to wait a few weeks while I order stock. I appreciate your patience. If you need a book by a deadline, let me know and I’ll do my very best to accommodate. :)
