Lucky Newt Games
Hello! I'm Laura (she/her), one half of Lucky Newt Games. With all of our games, you are guaranteed the Lucky Newt Promise:
- They are family friendly. If nothing else, there will always be enough control over the theme that you can be comfortable playing them around or with little ones*.
- They are all inclusive. None of our games promote hatred or violence towards a group of peoples.
- They are covered under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, so if you see anything you would like to hack, just be sure to give credit where credit's due and cover your game under the same license.
- They are created to be:
- light-hearted and fun
- provide comfort
- make people stop and think about the world around them, their relationships with others, or themselves
- some combination of them.
*There might be a meditative game or two that you'll want to be in a calm, quiet place for.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me via Twitter or email.
