Welcome to Halcyon Dynamics! In your new role you'll be expected to process digits efficiently and build a small well-motivated team. Don't overthink it; they're definitely just digits. A narrative-driven incremental management sim. store.steampowered.com/app/4218750?...

went to a really cozy board games cafe on Thursday after a day of touristing and played Carcassonne against myself.
observations:
* the game wiki is very detailed and well explained, there's competitions, mods and various house rules; germans don't fuck about
* might be... a perfect game

was at a games museum and it made me reflect on serious games being a big term 10-ish years ago...
and about how the trajectory of game publications + quantity of games being made means it's really hard to feel like you've got a bird's eye view on what games really did sumn + pushed the medium...

- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy

Still working night and day on The Mermaid Mask. I've never worked so hard or for so long on anything! Apologies again, about being so quiet for so long. It's been a real 'head down working' kind of year.

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)
The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy

designing a mech for a religious cult whose devotees venerate the syncing of their pulses was very very exciting for me. fingers for feet, nail motifs abundant. angels are just demons that shine.

70 hours into Baldur's Gate 3, just finished the main story thread of Act 1... and realised some books/notes you pick up are quest hints but aren't signaled as different to pure lore books... the completionist's curse
