We are having a Crowd Sale of Creative Dying on The Game Crafter from 7/20/21-8/19/21!
What is a Crowd Sale?
Crowd Sales are The Game Crafter’s take on a crowd funding platform. In a nutshell instead of providing stretch goals if the game overfunds, the Game Crafter provide discounts.
If you buy the game early in the sale and a higher discount is achieved, you pay the best price achieved during the sale!
To celebrate Pride and the Kink community’s long history and legacy with Pride, we are proud to announce that Fellowship of Fools: The (Kink) Game is now out in Beta for players to play and give us feedback and suggestions to help improve the game!

Back in March, when we all our plans were “Corona-Cancelled,” we re-evaluted our plans and what was possible for the summer. Here we are at the start of September, and we wanted to revisit this list and share with you all what we did with our summer and what we are planning for the fall.
We are opening up our design process and tools to the community so that you can use them to make your own conversation games based on our HAZMAT game system.
We made a game for IndieCade’s 2020 Climate Jam over on Itch.io! We wanted to share a bit about how we “jam,” because everyone does it their own way and it is different every time.
We try to include sleep. So should you.
Like so many others, we have seen the events and conferences we had applied to for 2020 get cancelled. This is the only right thing in this situation to do to curtail the spread of the virus, and we applaud the conference organizers.
So what do we do with the time given to us? And what are WE at Affinity Games going to with this time instead?
A review of some of our observations from sessions we attended and the three sessions we hosted together at Penguicon in 2019.
