Art creates art creates art creates...

Hello folks,

It behooves us to create a small devlog to coincide with the launch of our new project, and the first public movement from Oddments in 2024! Following the release of Glyph this time last year, we were all very eager to get stuck into something new and exciting. Ideas flew around, and various projects sprang from the wonderful brains of our crew and came to life in various dark corners of the Oddments G drive. As a result of this explosion of creativity, a lot of projects demanded attention and focus (especially a large scale project that we will hopefully reveal in some form next year), meaning that whilst lots got done, nothing ended up making over the line into publication.

That was until Threads materialised out of the ether. Inspired by a watch through of the excellent Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, as well as a decade plus of TTRPGS with the other Oddments members, the game is an attempt to make tangible the act of reminiscing about past campaigns.

The memories created when playing through a campaign stand out like the best parts of a movie or tv show. Arguably they shine even brighter, because it was you that steered that narrative, and your creativity that came up with the perfect solution to the seemingly impossible problem. We keep all of the sheets from our older games in a ring binder, and have had plenty of fun nights just running through old sheets - remembering the characters and the moments, trying to decipher what nonsense notes are scribbled and the back and what they could possible be referring to. Threads is our attempt to distill that feeling and have it on tap for ourselves and for you.

We don't have a release date yet, as we are still in the editing phase, and don't like to create stress with deadlines where possible. Hopefully it will be with you sooner rather than later, and you can enjoy it as much as we do.
