Haiku: Revised & Available in Print!

Good Evening My Friends,

Since I released Haiku in 2023, I've been floored by the literally thousands (!) of you who have downloaded, played it, and been so encouraging. So, I'm pleased to announce a few exciting updates.

***

NOW AVAILABLE IN PRINT

Haiku is now available in print, via Mixam's print on demand service. Here is the link! Though Mixam is a UK-based company, the zines apparently print in the U.S. (where I live) so international shipping is expensive. If anyone knows of a workaround, please leave a comment. I hate to have you pay more than necessary.

NEW ART

I absolutely love the art of Hasui Kawase. However, after publishing the game, I learned his art does not technically enter the public domain until 2027. (Even though all of his art was scanned to a public domain website... learn from mistake!). So I have updated all of the art with the work of the great Tsuchiya Koitsu, another extraordinary "shin-hanga" woodcut artist.

MODIFIED LAYOUT

I have tweaked the layout to fit into 20 pages (instead of 22) to make it ready for zine printing (must be increments of 4 pages). I've also fixed typos, revised wording, and turned "Roll" into a move— little quality of life stuff.

OK, that's all for now. Thanks so much for playing and talking about this game!
