[Newsblade] Closing Loops (Patreon)

[A new Swords episode]Thank you Cal, Aaron, Ragnakraken, Brandon, artisani, Smith, Cone, Random337 and Priscilla! Welcome aboard!

I'm working on The Patron Swor'nament this week. Expect a handful of episodes to drop at a time.

If you are on one of the higher tiers of Patreon, I have a gift for you! While they last. Merry Questmas!

Later this week I'll post a 2025 Newsblade Summary/Retrospective so we can look back on some of the cool stuff Swords did this year, like shipping a card game, introducing Choplet and passing some big milestones. You know I love a graph!I've been treating Swords as a service and not a product, and that means my priorities aren't always aligned with audience expectations - I'll outline some thoughts about that too and the steps I'm taking to make things better after Episode 1000.

I am now firmly lost in the Void Week between Boxing Day and New Years. I have eaten many chocolates.

What's your New Year's Qwest?
