Getting so spun around, as a craft

game design is such an embarrassingly human endeavor. you stumble through iterations, lost in the woods like 20 times even tho this happened on your last game. The real magical games somehow feel like… the result of that process. Something was FOUND after the SEARCHING. So cool. Let’s keep doing it

This is ~100x less rock & roll than his Cat Lovers Magazine cover

Baby Steps is like when your dad says that your hometown is not a place, it’s a people, and then your dad dissolves into mist

Baby Steps is like having a catch with your Dad out in a field that you spontaneously built in a depressive state

Baby Steps has jumped up to maybe my GoTY 🤍 Genius, profound, incredible craft from level design to pacing and story. It hooks you with a simple/deep mechanic and then literally/figuratively takes you places

On first glance Baby Steps looks funny, and it is. But I’ve been shocked at the flow state it gets me into. My heart pounding, at just the thought of placing my foot on a rock. Cursing my friends for bringing this game into the world.

We’re all gonna be talking about Baby Steps for a while

Geek moment: we got to meet & chat with James Callis (Gaius Baltar on Battlestar, among many great roles). BSG, specifically the performances, were deeply influential in me deciding to move to LA and pursue a career in entertainment. Getting to embarrass myself and thank him was a huge honor

🤍 @karriebear.bsky.social for once again letting me hang with the Anime Coolkids. Y’all, Channing Tatum’s voice acting is so good in this
