Here's my talk, about this game: bushn.itch.io/word-processor
Stealing roguelike mechanics from Microsoft Word

Is traditional roguelike movement intuitive? Is the *keyboard* intuitive for anything but typing? To answer this, I built a traditional roguelike using the most familiar keyboard-as-spatial-manipulation use case I could think of: navigation within a text document. Most computer users have used the arrow keys, the tab button and the return button to move their flashing cursor around a text document. Can they do it with permadeath?

He also commissioned me to write an 11k word side story for the game, which is an opportunity almost nobody gets. And I learned about the aluminum piano on the Hindenburg. overthealps.itch.io/the-five-tho...

@spartridge.bsky.social had Shovel Knight/Bloodstained:ROTN-level follow-through to get this game out the door initially and now fully out the door. The man delivers!

And I'm so happy the final chapter got released. Harry nailed a tricky balance between slapstick action and narrative tension.

Jon built a pivotal sequence that happened during a chess game, where you had to checkmate your opponent in chess and in conversation. Watching him & Katharine crank out 50k lines of peerless Ink in real time was something I won't forget.

Watching this come together for the Apple Arcade launch was something else, especially how @jon.inkle.co and @katharineneil.bsky.social built the narrative in the time they had. And then @skelicopter.bsky.social did two more chapters just as good. Amazing art – just a joy to play and read.

You're one of the best to ever do it and consistently set a QA standard that's basically impossible to match. Good taste in games too! Hope to see you around the usual places and wishing the best of health.

Completed my #7drl submission. Happy with how translating word processor cursor movement feels as a roguelike mechanic, and I'll always like writing short sentences. Play it here: bushn.itch.io/word-processor

More #7drl progress... Now your OSINT peers can call the moderators in an effort to get you banned. Also you have an arsenal of word processor-inspired movement powers.

Trying my first #7drl – you are a cursor trying to uncover redacted documents in a word processor, being hunted by OSINT dweebs and other parties.
