Check out this wonderful collection of game poems! I helped out as one of many first readers, reviewing a lot of submissions. So many incredibly projects that explored the poetic potential of games really well. The final selection has a wide range of thought provoking, and visually unique games.

Though sad and uncomfortable, winter - and death - are often necessary to prevent game worlds from feeling stagnant. In our first article on Seasons,
@hollynielsen.bsky.social
explores how winter provides vital friction in the Harvest Moon series:

Winter and Death in Harvest Moon
While letting go of a beloved pet is hard, death plays an essential role in preventing farming sims from feeling stagnant.

My GOTY is the fan hack of Chrono Trigger. The translation is noticeably much better, they balanced the tech system, and I think added new story content (haven't finished yet). Now I wanna play balanced/boosted mods of all the classics!

My GOTY this year is Magic Garden :) I pick a GOTY based on what I've discovered this year, not what came out this year, and UFO 50 has been an absolute gem. Still only tried about a third of the games!

I've been doing monster making workshops for a while, where we play a bunch of games and imagine, draw and embody new monsters. I always wanted to exhibit the drawings in some special way, and finally got to try it as an installation called "Portal to Monster World" Pics:

What ever happened to interactive fiction games where you type "north," "take key," etc? Most text games I've seen are more multiple choice style, but I miss trying to interact with random verbs

Bastard Bonds:

This is famous from that Sseth video and for being that "western gay eroge", but I put it right next to Caves of Lore as a wonderful example of something that captures the magic of old-school CRPGs, like a cross between X-COM and Baldur's Gate.

I swear I have gotten so lucky with last minute lighting setup decided before the performance without time to check it. Cause the vibes are vibin!! From “Kasa Jizo & The Disembodied Head” by the Yokai Boys. This was just my little part at the end 🥹

I love this kind of stuff. As a Brazilian, I didn't understand cities in GTA until I visited North America. Same for how visiting Tokyo and Osaka help you understand better how Japanese devs design spaces like Racoons City.

Wow, in retrospect, Plantin Time (an educational game I made in 2 weeks w/a friend in 2017) was my best game graphics work. (I think it looks pretty nice & the colors look good together.) The seedlings are also giving Monster Garden. But the funnest part for me was designing the puzzles!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
