Welcome to Loreshaper Games
We’re a company that makes games.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: A Game Designer’s First Impressions
I don’t have a progress update on games, unfortunately. I’ve had some health issues, and while I don’t want to blow them out of proportion—they’re unpleasant, not life-threatening (at least, that’s the going theory)—they make it a lot more difficult …
