short fiction piece i wrote earlier this month

of course! that’s so cool, thanks for playing!

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

figuring out how to get back together. "friendslop" is a terrible term but it does fit this design pattern in which the goal of the game is to continue hanging out with your friends. i want to argue that covid is directly responsible for this sort of design but i'm not theory-pilled enough for that

the cool thing about a lot of co-op games is that they're not designed around being multiplayer rather than being designed around not being singleplayer. the main problem you encounter in peak is the threat of getting separated. lethal company-likes are all about splitting up with your friends and

thinking about how bbc sherlock had a network of homeless people who would spy for him wtf was that about

im so nick carraway pilled

i love the physicality of ttrpgs. it's great that i can play dnd digitally but i also love when the game is an object. when we interact with the book not to just *facilitate* play but to *play with it*. like how yazeba's bnb fills up with stickers as you play (and like finding the secret character)

beastieball is sooo fun i should have picked this up earlier

Printers can smell your fear.

currently playing before the green moon and thinking about how it and CS feel so much like home.

playing BTGM feels like making a nest with the pieces of a community that chose to be left behind. everyone is a remnant of something, and that includes you. it makes me want to stay with them

i really need to make a video game

Last Train to Bremen A storytelling game of four doomed musicians and their poor decisions.

When the Devil calls, the musicians flee.

LAST TRAIN TO BREMEN, a tragedy for a doomed quartet, now crowdfunding on Backerkit with @possumcreekgames.com! Come join the train bit.ly/bremen_bk

the thing that bugs me about video game development is that sometimes when people say “game design” they mean “programming”. those are two different things! it baffles me that we still gatekeep game dev from non-coders. the more people that can easily make games, the better
