working on a new project... i call it "the new saint breakfast," & in it i only eat three dates & an energy drink for breakfast. as soon as the revelations start kicking in i will be selling online courses on the benefits of "the new saint breakfast."

I know what you're thinking: "But the magic of my enemies is weak, and their gods are hollow idols!" But what if I told you... that your enemies are thinking the same thing... about YOUR magic, and YOUR gods? And here's what's gonna make the difference: your enemies aren't in this seminar right now.

MY FIRST GAME ANNOUNCEMENT I’ve been contributing narrative to Thousand Hells and I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to play!!

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

how do i care less about systems? i've got a very ludic worldview, but i can't deny that being more able to cede intelligibility to animal-play would make me happier.

I'm certainly not the only one making this argument, but I've been saying for a while that *distribution* is the core issue+challenge for videogame makers - aesthetically, conceptually, logistically, and more than ever, politically, in a very urgent and material way. harmonyzone.org/blog/posts/t...

do you know full-time faculty @ the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's games department (or MAGI program)? i'm trying to get in touch with someone about PhD supervision, but emailing faculty during the summer hasn't been panning out. would love to get in contact through alternate means.

work is the place you go to fulfill the deep-seated human need to be disrespected by people who do not matter

running this class has been so much fun, and i am really excited for people to play what everyone's been making! august 8!

for 8 weeks, we've been running a class on Games & Adaptations, discussing intertextuality in its many forms (adaptation, pastiche, parody, and more). and now, we've made our own adaptation games! join us friday, august 8, for an evening of games in dialog with other works :) hope to see you there!

You may not like it but this is the best economic system we can come up with

Often they're treated as the same in casual discussion but I think complexity, accessibility, and difficulty are completely different qualities for a game that have basically nothing to do with each other.

in pondlife: discone (a videogame), you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up. #discone #jump #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev
