So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

It almost doesn't feel real, but Seer's Gambit is out on Nintendo Switch :o

To celebrate we're running a launch discount there and on Steam in case you're more of a Mouse and Keyboard kinda-person.

I did the thing! Most of today has been me making and editing and rendering and uploading this roughly 50 minute intro video to how I program a complex strategy game in C++! I know not everyone does it this way, but this is just 'how I do it'. youtu.be/FShH78J_zmY?... Plz share with likely viewers!

The new enemy-AI is already smarter than the old one.
But there is still work to do.
