Subsurface’s New Game!

Subsurface Games Leave a comment

After wrapping up the fulfillment of With a Smile & a Gun in 2021, I had to take a little bit of time off for myself. The business side of game publishing (and also the whole pandemic thing) had burnt out much of my creative juices, and it took a while to get them back.

But now, I’m writing this to announce a new game, Puppets in High Places. It is a thematic sequel to With a Smile & a Gun, another 30-min game for 1-2 players, set in the same fantastical Prohibition setting of Gattory City. It is a completely standalone game, but with a few callbacks to the first game. Where the first game is about rival mob bosses fighting over the city’s illegal trade, Puppets takes place after that fight is settled, and the bosses are now setting their sights on securing a foothold in City Hall.

And it is launching on Kickstarter on May 28th! If you want to make sure you don’t miss it, the easiest way is to join our monthly newsletter:

Hey readers!

Some of you might be wondering where I’ve been these past month and a half, not posting anything!

Well, turns out preparing for a Kickstarter campaign does not leave a lot of time for writing. At least, now I have this to share:

And with the campaign going live, I have a tiiiiiiny bit more time, and so blog posts will start coming in again, slowly but surely. Let’s be clear: they’ll still be mostly about this game, as it’s the only thing I’ve been thinking about for over six months, but I think there’s a LOT of stuff I’ve learned in the process that would be helpful to others.

So if you’re interested in looking the game up, you can go to WithASmileAndAGun.com to look it up!

Either way, I’ll talk to you later this week!
