I recently posted a link to my site on the Tabletop Sports board of Delphi Forums, and I’m absolutely blown away by the response I’ve gotten so far. In a way, I made the post on a whim and thought maybe I’d get a few clicks or some interest here or there, but I’ve seen so much more than I could have expected.
So, with this in mind, here are some thoughts from the last couple weeks:
- If I had known I’d see such an influx of interest, I would have chosen to post at a time when I wasn’t (1) trying to finish all my work before the holidays, (2) attending a number of family engagements, (3) travelling for multiple days, (4) dealing with a broken furnace in sub-20 degree weather, or (5) following around my toddler all day while he tries to turn the TV on. Oh well, live and learn.
- I’m surprised to see so much interest in Pile Up Racing, but I suppose I shouldn’t be, considering the number of “looking for a good racing game” posts on Delphi. Hopefully, this
- The One-Pager games were very popular, didn’t see that coming at all. But I guess I wasn’t the only one looking for a quick, compact sim that’s light on instructions. I’m glad to see it!
- There’s a lot of interest in historical seasons (awesome! they’re my favorite kind of season), especially in soccer, and I’ve already started working on some. Expect those at some point this month.
- Doing it all again, I would’ve triple checked that all my files were uploaded. Oops. (Thanks for everyone’s patience while I completed the Pile Up Racing instructions, which I didn’t expect to be the longest thing I’ve written since my master’s thesis.)
All told, please don’t take any of this as complaining; I’m actually ecstatic this went so well! Sharing these games that I’ve loved playing by myself and seeing other people enjoy them has been a thrill beyond my expectations.
Thanks to everyone who has checked out my games (and especially those that contributed to my Ko-Fi)! Your interest has ignited my passion for making these, so check back often to see what else I add.
I’m looking forward to 2026 on Short Season Games!
