Andruid here - occasional reader, though this is the first time I’ve spun up an account to post something. Thought I was going to get this in quick but ended up losing myself for an hour in some really interesting discussions on PvP and the My Guy Syndrome. …now find myself a bit short on time before work meetings hit.

Long story short: I’m running an anonymous survey on how the MU* niche is doing in 2026 (what people are excited about, what’s worrying them, and where they see themselves in the hobby a year from now). Takes about 1-3 minutes, open until May 25. Results to be shared with the community.

I’d love to get more representation from the folks in this forum. If you’re up for sharing your two cents, here’s the link to the survey:

Beyond that, I’m also on the lookout for interesting projects to highlight (past examples: https://writing-games.org/interviews/). If you’re running a cool project or know of one that hasn’t been covered yet, please feel free to hit me up! I’m on Discord, too, if that’s easier.

Okay, gotta get back to my desk. Thanks for reading!
