I've started to focus on listing less games for each curation topic. I think planting a seed, and letting it grow though community contributions via some type of per page message board or dicussion system is the approach I will be taking.

GDoC Expo happens this week. Much needed event given the state of the industry. The grant I received in 2024 allowed me to gain access to tools and resources for my most ambitious project, and the personal confidence to pursue its pure artistic potential without the trappings of commercial pressure.

Organizing an event after TGS week. I won't be hosting this time as I will be out of the city, but people from the community have agreed to help out. I'll be curating talks, so stay tuned. If you have a topic you would be interested in sharing (5 min) and you'll be in Tokyo, reach out!

I've probably done over 100 playtests of the 5 minute experience and something that's so fascinating about this is that depending on where you decide to hold your gaze, the visual experience and feeling is radically different

Had a chance to play this and many other great games at Dissonance 不穏 last weekend. Visual metaphor & memoir in bitsy form. Also so interesting to recreate a personal game from many years ago with a stronger technical, creative skillset along with a recontextualized life perspective. Remake/Re-view

proof i was creating code slop before it became a common thing. All the logic for my game Solastalgia is in one giant code file called test2. Getting this project ready for a few exhibitions and the longest part of the process is trying to understand what I did

This project I prototyped a year ago regularly gives me chills when I play it, which is rare for something I work on for long periods of time. It's still creatively cooking, but after A MAZE I think the direction I want to go with this is participatory performance in a live setting

Some interesting facts now that I added the country filter Most winners are based in 1. US 2. Canada 3. Germany The two most populous countries: China has 2, India has 0 Reveals a lot about the reach of game art networks, and who has access to the tools, mobility, and funding for creative output.
