I'm so frustrated on the devs' behalf whenever there's a half-arsed publisher submission and none of them check the messages. What a waste of everyone's time and money!

every single thing in this is true, insightful, and wise, and if you're thinking of submitting to the IGFs -- which you should, when the time is right -- please please please listen to everything in this post!

with Consume Me (Jenny Jiao Hsia & AP Thomson) winning IGF's Grand Prize last year, and Titanium Court (AP Thomson) winning it this year, that might be the first time someone's won it two years in a row?

I often worry that I'm going to forget how to go down stairs as I'm mid-going down the stairs and then I panic and briefly forget how to go down stairs and almost fall, so, no, I can't relate

personally I prefer PG-13 Tips. A bit spicier

a photo of the ingredients label on a box of PG Tips, which is a brand of tea. It's called PG Tips in reference to it being made of the tips of the tea plant, but the French translation has turned "tips" into "conseils", the French for "advice" - or "tips".

ah yes. PG Tips, or as we know it in French, PG Advice

I played Wednesdays last year and I'm delighted to see it in the IGF noms for narrative. I highly recommend playing it, but be sure to check the content warnings - it's a tough story, but one that deserves to be told

the game loop is vaguely:

1. Pokรฉmon asks for specific furniture/item
2. You need to go mine for the resources, or befriend another Pokรฉmon by creating their "habitat", which is a specific collection of items placed together on the ground
3. Then you fuck around until you get another quest

And then sprinkle in a bit of the personality and post-apocalyptic lore from Pokรฉmon Mystery Dungeon! Your villagers are all Pokรฉmon with personalities, albeit light ones, and sometimes they can even perform specific tasks if you give them the right furniture (e.g. a shop where they can sell things)

imagine the terrain deformation and creation of locations from DQ Builders, where someone will ask for a specific house or room or combination of items in order to move in.

Add Animal Crossing-style decoration, which requires Minecraft-like resource gathering and management to craft new objects
