Hello everyone!
Sorry for the delay, I was knocked out by a nasty cold for the past 2 weeks.
Let's finally take a look at the results of the haiku workshop #7!
The theme was "TEA", meant as a warm, cozy and poetic parenthesis before the final months of the year!
Let's see what we got this time:
You may notice the participation is dwindling a bit, which is highly understandable since the workshops have been going on for more than half a year already. But be it 4, 8 or 16 poems, I'm so happy to find each time that the overall impression of these productions is a mix of poetry, goofiness, and equally grave, cheerful or absurd considerations.
For instance, this workshop started with my grim "we have to unmeet" entry, but was completely thrown off balance by the haiku about coercing people into buying rounds of tea for everyone, and the one praising the "hmm hmm hot hot good" tea, which had me burst into laughter. Only to be countered again by the tragic depiction of a trainwreck due to a sleeping driver. I feel the resulting vibe is profoundly what Will The Man Get Frog is about, and it's awesome to see you guys achieving it each time.
Once again, thank you all for your participation!
Now, forwards! As you may have read before I think it's a good time to put these workshops to a halt. It's been a lot of fun writing poetry with you and reading your stuff, and you can (and definitely should) keep posting some more in the community hub if you feel like it, I'll definitely keep reading them with a smile on my face. But I feel the game has lived its little life, and it might be time to move on.
Which is good, because I've been working on some new stuff you might enjoy!
A new game? What? When?
I won't say much just yet, but I've started a new project a few months after Will The Man Get Frog's release. It's another genre, but still full of big pixels and silly stuff, and I should be able to showcase it to you quite soon. People following me on X/Twitter might already kinda know what it's about.
Stay tuned, you'll hear from me in the coming weeks!
Hope to see you there,
