Just now starting to sketch out a new weird project: digitizing old toy theatre catalogues and rebuilding them in Decker with interactive elements

text generator bugs have such a particular feel. i'm currently debugging "with abroad, broad band of glass"

Next week! If you're in the Toronto area, I'll be talking about a recent critical edition of the Aperture Science promotional Portal tie-in website (co-edited by Alan Galey, @ellenforget.bsky.social, and myself) as well some of the implications for future born-digital interactive literature.

i've been slowly playing through Game Poems 1 and this is the first one that i Unreservedly Recommend

my lil game poem "lessons in anatomy" is featured in the first issue of GAME POEMS, which is an incredible honor to me. it's a short meditation on pleasure, pain, sex, and the vulva (because my whole thing is games about vulvas). www.gamepoems.com/issue01

Tropic of Dinosaur IS OUT!!!
It's a being walked simulator about aging made of clay, tangerine peel, sigarette ends and children's obscene drawings

Go check it out in the first issue of Game Poems magazine along with other beautiful games👇

Thank you for playing and sharing!

"A look of glass stops you." -- a bitsy game poem about reaching out and reaching out again. After my favorite three lines from John Ashbery (and maybe my favorite three lines of All Poetry.) In Game Poems #1: www.gamepoems.com/issue01/

Game Poems #1 came out earlier this month, with a small piece of mine and truly engrossing work from my co-contributors! @jordanmagnuson.bsky.social and the Game Poems team are thoughtful editors and curators, and I'm very impressed with the care they've taken in assembling the issue.

Check out the marvellous Game Poems magazine! Yes, I have a little something in there, and, yes, it lives up to the dream of publications that manage to include (and be about) interactive/games stuff!

I've been excited for (and getting little peeks of) Game Poems for a little while now and now it's out for everyone to see!

"see", which is to say that you, the person reading this, should aside an hour or so and play through these games.

i've been making a lot of wizards lately

I'm not really much for posting here at the moment. Still, if you've stumbled onto this page somehow you're very welcome to play some of my games at bibliomancer.itch.io.

I'm particularly proud of this pioneering digital edition of ApertureScience​.com, part of the #Portal game universe: scholarlyediting.org/issues/42/ap...
