Our regular game night has been Big Walk the last few weeks, and its been so special. This game definitely sets out to capture a particular experience in a way that's so refreshing and earnest.

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.
The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

from Openings: Poems (1968)

Why is the sound of @househouse.com's Big Walk sounds so realistic & immersive? @emaudible.bsky.social with @ashellinthepit.com went on some big walks in Australia! They really went the extra mile.

Often times if you play a game with what feels like strange or shortsighted decisions made in it, it’s not due to a wild miscalculation in the planning stage but a late adaptation to some other limitation (time, tech, knock on design changes) and people doing the best with what they have…. 1/2

Thinking a lot about Bungie and Destiny this week. My heart goes to everyone there right now. I didn’t work there for a long time, but it was a team I sought out because I wanted to learn from them. They are wildly talented artists, and taught me a ton (and gave me a true love for gradients).

This is honestly one of my favorite things about living in South Seattle - sad this didn’t become a permanent fixture, but very happy to see Mayor Wilson extend this to every weekend. Biking between Seward Park and Colman Beach in Washington Summer is 👌

This is also the single best model I can think of to avoid 5/6/7+ year development cycles too - let a team build internal tools, workflows, pipelines, let them iterate, and repeat. Hiring/firing cycles (on top of the human pain) cause us to rebuild the wheel over and over, and is really inefficient.

If you replace your entire workforce after each project, you’ll never grow the generational talent your studio could be known for. You’ll never be Disney, or Ghibli, or Nintendo.

Really excellent piece digging into some of the development of Morrowind. I remember playing it as a teenager and being amazed not only at its strange world, but contradictory theologies and histories. It breathed a real life into the entire setting im not sure I’ve ever seen again in a game.

wizard interview
PANEL 1: A shirtless tattooed wizard in sweatpants walking to a mobile home. WIZARD: "What's this now?"
PANEL 2: Wizard in closeup. WIZARD: "Problem is most people have tangled up their idea of wizardry with a pastoral never-was England."
PANEL 3: Wizard in medium shot, smoking. WIZARD: "But, well, Indiana needs wizards, too. An' maybe it ain't the worst thing in the world if we had more wizards who c'n change the oil in a car."
PANEL 4: Close up side view of the wizard's face, still smoking. WIZARD: "Like ev'rybody *loves* Gandalf. But Gandalf'll never teach a local kid how to shoplift baby formula to help his momma."
PANEL 5: Wizard in medium shot, looking down. WIZARD: "Nah, people don't like magic around. Reminds 'em they *could* have a different way of doing things than the one that hurts em so bad, an' lotsa folks can't handle that."
