In a country of many weird games, UnReal World has to be one of the weirdest for me. Not enough is written about it, happy about this article!

"The spells and rituals and magic that exist in the game, they are picked up from real spellbooks that have been preserved by recording old people's tales."

Non-violent (ok... non-lethal) magical realist immersive sim with my best friends with good enough pay that we can all focus on doing what we love and not hustle from project to project 💚

also that game design and narrative and "aesthetics" i.e. art and sound are inseparable from each other, it doesn't make sense to look at any of those elements in isolation, and we only do that because the production of bigger AAA games has necessitated a Fordist model & set the tone for everything

small games by tiny devs finding huge success by dropping all notions of expression and focusing on dopamine delivery has done some sort of heavy damage to whatever I believed in in the 2010s about game design

In video game simulations, what do we call the opposite of abstraction in processes? Where instead of "crafting two things together" with a button press you must enact processes of grinding, attaching, etc? Or what Bennett does with limbs+muscles, instead of just "push forward to move" abstraction?

there are eighty billion videogames out there, and many are marvelous miracles, but I’m struggling to connect as the years go on

just gimme something with two buttons that takes thirty minutes at a time, that is dumb fun but also secretly smart, soulful and surprising, that’s what I’m after

Any new Thief thing is a win in my book — no matter if it’s THIVRF.

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
