Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. Do you like the pantsuit? I got it at Ross. I'm glad you're here—you're just in time for a big announcement. Roll that podium over here, would you dear? In an effort to capitalize on market synergies, Hectic Electron is excited to announce two new games in our line-up: Defy the Raccoons and Queer Sky Pirates. The first one out the gate is Defy the Raccoons. In this game, inspired by Over the Hedge and the sensational, straight-to-video Wrath of the Titans (2012), you play homeowners in ancient Sumer staving off an invasion of gargantuan raccoons. Fight to protect your precious possessions—including clay pots and other, larger clay pots—as the raccoons rampage across your city-state. Win with swords and sorcery right up until the raccoons learn swords and sorcery of their own. Then shit gets real. In order to meet demand while it exists, we're rushing these through the pipeline. Once upon a time, this would've meant crushing playtests and paying artists, but in today's age, agentic AI can handle most of it. We're already over the moon with the cover it's given us—what do you think? We'll run the Kickstarter for Defy the Raccoons as soon as we wrap the one for Raccoon Sky Pirates: Total Chaos Edition, which is cruising toward launching this spring. Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting announcements from Hectic Electron Games! Our new slogan: "Home of Wildly Divergent Brands Crammed Together on a Bus and Forced to Make Friends When It Breaks Down." ChatGPT suggested it, what do you think? We'll workshop it. Best, P.S. The other game, Queer Sky Pirates, is so similar to the faster scenes in Castle in the Sky that we have to work out some licensing issues with Studio Ghibli first. We've got our best AI on it. P.P.S. The only way this will become a reality is if we get Raccoon Sky Pirates: Total Chaos Edition out of the way first! Sign up here to be notified when it launches! |
Everlasting, Neverending Game Night

Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. I put stalks of crown-pink in a jar on the table. If you can see them. Don't mind the smoke. The raccoons are in the back yard, getting their ship together. Tomorrow morning at 9 am Eastern, the Kickstarter for Raccoon Sky Pirates: Total Chaos Edition will finally launch. I made a hilarious video for it. I can't post it here, because it's too big. But you can see it on the Kickstarter page tomorrow morning. Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man, narrated...
Hi Reader, Whew! What a time it's been since we last got together. Unconscionably, I swiped a stalk of Lady's Gloves from a neighbor's hellstrip and put them in a milk bottle on the table. They look magical, but it's still theft. If you've been following along, you may think the Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter should have launched by now. Yesterday, even. But a Kickstarter is always more work than I remember, and let's be fair, I was pushing too hard in not enough time. So now the Dumpster...
Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. I had some flowers on the table, but this raccoon ate them. I call him Reggie. Careful, he bites. If you started coming to game night because you backed the original Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter, then this game night is especially for you. Because Raccoon Sky Pirates is coming back. The legendary box set, all black and white, that came in a little mailer box, will be available in the upcoming, imminent Kickstarter. It looked like this: But that's not...
