We're joined by @ectafoole.bsky.social, @unormal.bsky.social, and @jfg.land, with special guest host @thisisstar.bsky.social, to discuss the challenge of finishing a game you've been making for 18 years... and what comes next.

I believe this is the first time the team has publicly spoken in such depth about the Qud ending.
Big thanks to @ectafoole.bsky.social @jfg.land @unormal.bsky.social for their time, and for making one of my fav games ever.

13th annual World Championship apparently happens December 5. I wish I was in Buenos Aires for it. I happened to attend in 2019, coolest videogame event I've ever attended.

(obv I personally think they're inextricable, esp in Michael's work)

We are no longer Eggplant. We are, simply:
The Secret Lives of Games
AND ALSO:
We've launched the first episode of All Systems Brough, a year-long, one-a-month series exploring the work of @smestorp.bsky.social. Join us and play along!
