ELDRIDGE GAMES
Welcome to Eldridge Games
New Adventures Are On The Way
First, thank you for stopping by and for supporting Eldridge Games. If you're looking for the main website, you're in the right place—it's currently undergoing a complete rebuild and upgrade.
Why Is The Website Down?
I'm currently moving Eldridge Games to a new platform that will allow me to offer more content, better organization, and a smoother experience for everyone. The previous site served me well, but it was time for something that could grow alongside my projects.
My goal is to have the new website live by late July or early August, and I can't wait to share everything I've been working on.
A Surprising Journey
Many of you may remember seeing me at the Saline County Comic Expo last June, where I debuted my card game, The Souvenir Ink. The response was incredible, and one question kept coming up:
"Are you a tattoo artist?"
At the time, the answer was no.
But after the expo, I became curious about what it would take to learn the craft. That curiosity turned into a six-month journey involving more than 400 hours of training. Because of that commitment, many of my creative projects were temporarily placed on hold beginning in October.
Today(June 1 2026), I'm proud to say that I am now a licensed tattoo artist.
Back To Creating
With my training complete, I've returned to full production on the projects that started Eldridge Games in the first place.
Current projects include:
• The Souvenir Ink card game
• Multiple original 2D video game projects
• A fully remastered edition of my first released video game, Ghostly Thoughts
The video game projects are currently targeting a Fall 2027–2028 release window, and development is moving forward once again.
The Souvenir Ink Update
Many people have asked when The Souvenir Ink will finally hit store shelves.
The honest answer is that manufacturing has become more challenging than expected.
When I originally began designing the game in 2019, international shipping costs and tariffs were not major concerns. In recent years, however, those costs have increased significantly and have forced me to reevaluate production plans and manufacturing expenses.
While this has delayed release, development of the game itself remains strong. I'm actively working through these challenges and pushing toward releasing not only the base game, but also the first expansion sets and a special edition version.
Want To Play The Game?
If you'd like to experience The Souvenir Ink in person, stop by and see me at the Saline County Comic Expo 2026 in Benton, Arkansas. I'll be running demos and sharing the latest updates with everyone who visits the booth.
Stay Connected
While the website is being rebuilt, the best way to stay informed is by following me on Instagram. That's where I'll be posting development updates, previews, artwork, event announcements, and progress reports as projects move forward.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and your belief in independent creators. Everything you see from Eldridge Games is built by one person with a passion for storytelling, game design, and creating unique experiences.
The next chapter is just beginning, and I'm excited to share it with you.
See you soon.
