Levels of abstraction: Why I still play The Sims 2 This month marked the 21tst birthday of my favorite city building game of all time: The Sims 2. I know it isn't normally thought to fall into the same genre as games like SimCity or Cities: Skylines –...

I'm starting a newsletter where I'll share my thoughts on game design and genre conventions, mostly from an ecocritical perspective. The first article, on why I think The Sims 2 makes for a great city building game, is up now: hugging-pixel-trees.ghost.io/levels-of-ab... #gamedesign #sims2

Black text on a pale yellow background. The text reads "the a is having a rough day".

Wanted to make a game where you make letters do things and came up with what I now think of as an interactive poetry collection: roughat.itch.io/the-t-migrat...

Each letter gets to star in a tiny one-line poem. So far I've completed twelve poems. Letters are such a fun material to work with <3

Something To Reach For by outerplays, roughat, pastelsavage To reach or not to reach? That is the question. The void awaits.

Game out!
