Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

Interesting take, my game-designer side says yes, my producer-programmer side is horrified.

When it comes to climate change, "games can empower the belief that people can make a difference," says Volha Kapitonava of Positive Impact Games. "The key ingredient that makes this possible, in my opinion, is joy."

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩 This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace.

the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means

So after finishing a game about the beauty of Prague, this is a good reality check that our beloved city still has ways to go (also it's hilarious 11)

Mainstream games coverage makes little sense when mainstream people have no idea how to buy a game any more. “Normal” people don’t visit the App Store for fun; they don’t know steam exists and it’s scary and overwhelming if you find it. They know about switches but those are “for kids”.

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Production is one of the areas in games where teams tend to have a significantly higher percentage of non-men in these roles, so I think that definitely is a factor. Production is often treated like the fun police or “mom” and that attitude doesn’t help get the game out the door.

Wonderful! If you’re somebody interested in using games in historical education, the last lesson of this tutorial series explores just that – using our games and adding a bunch of resources. Thanks so much for your work, means a lot to us.
