Ok now I want the tea 😆

Sure Rob! If you follow me I’ll dm you some details :)

Hey! I'm announcing a video game soon!

Do I know any streamers or YouTubers or members of the press or hosts of Late Night television shows who would want to play it around the announcement?

You fight broccoli🥦

Excellent! I’ll dm you :)

(I’m specifically hoping to get input from people who’ve never seen anything like a node based editor or anything to control branching narratives in their life, and who don’t come from a technical/coding background)

Nah, I’m looking for people who’ve written stories, but not in the context of game development at all

Yooo good to hear from you!
Definitely want to get your input on this but for this test I wanna find some folks with basically no technical/games background!

Help, I need a playtester or two this week!

1. Written a short story, especially in the horror genre
2. Have never used ANY game narrative tools like Twine etc.
3. Would be willing to do a 45 minute playtest this week or next on a zoom call

Then please get in touch!

Love love love the vibes here!

It looks SO GOOD

Oh man, I think I remember this being passed around the Raven offices!

Oh these are all fantastic!

Oh wow really? I thought this was a thing that was available to ALL games now...

Oh man, was that really a browser game at one point?!

Oooh, good one!

What's your favorite creative online "toy" ever that lets you tinker/create things in a browser?

I'm thinking about things like:
- Line Rider
- Shadertoy
- Oskar Stålberg's 3D planet creator

Oh yeah, these are good ones!

Yeah I mostly agree. Though in a lot of cases, player made content ultimately *DWARFS* what the developer started with. Definitely need that strong base though!

Super interesting! Thanks for sharing, this is a great case study for what I’m working on…

The case I’m trying to make here is that that’s the hard approach. It’s much more interesting to build a platform on top of well defined game mechanics and aesthetics. Easier to make great content possible and build an audience!

Thanks for reading! These two are interesting, I hadn’t heard of mighty quest. Project spark I’d put in the category of “game creation tool”, in the same vein as Roblox (but without the marketplace I guess?)

Thoughts on "UGC platforms" There's been lots of investment in UGC (user generated content) this past few years, largely motivated by the tens of billions in revenue Roblox has generated. Epic seems to have been the most succes...

I've got a thoughts on "UGC game platforms" like Roblox and its competitors.

There's an interesting opportunity here, especially for indies. But not by trying to make the next Roblox.

Instead, I think "game as a platform" is much more interesting:
