I just finished Inkle's TR-49. I really enjoyed it. The presentation was top-notch.
I wonder if structuring games like these leads themselves to be self-reflexive, or if it's just the zeitgeist. Type Help had a similar reflexivity.

My wife and I had an incredible experience last night at the Canberra Theatre watching #CirqueAlice, and our seats were *on the stage*.
Incredible feats of strength, agility, comedy, singing and violin! During a crazy bit the violinist played right in my face. It was beautiful, artistic and awesome.

Iβve worked on over 30 games total, ranging from console to live-service mobile games, and Iβm eager to do more. I can write, edit, localize, and design, and I adapt quickly to proprietary systems.
Please consider hiring or referring me for a full-time or part-time position.

Every year I try to make a 3d image for Christmas with some Australian aspect. 2025 was too hectic to finish it in time, but I managed to declare it done tonight.
There's a lot of little technical challenges in this one, especially the tree.
What do you think?
