if you combined Blue Prince and Silent Hill you'd get Incoherence: Dark Rooms, a survival horror room-drafting game where the rooms are built from your own memories

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

Yeah. Wrote a whole book about it. We make issues salient in discourse through consistent effort. It’s an empirical fact but folks acts like political issues& issue attitudes are sprung from a “kitchen table” cabbage patch. We should argue for what we want. Again & again. Until it’s common sense.

I have been repeating everything I said in this thread for going on two years now, and still, y'all think "we just need to chop off a little bit of your equal rights" as somehow a compelling argument. It's not. We're way beyond compromise.

One of my dream game projects wants to play with time in some adhacent ways. It definitely feels like an underexplored mechanic in the rpg space, so cool to see a big game like this take such a risk.

✂️🎲 A 🧵 A friend sent me this video that was talking about how the back of a game box is essential for stores to market and sell the game, given that they can’t have every game set up nor do they have demo copies of all games available. youtube.com/shorts/-hQBk...

A great back of the box layout is the best tool to help retailers sell your game.

Played first game of Rebirth the #boardgame. 2p. It has the sauce! I like how you only have 1 tile to place, and your options are limited by that tile. I think it does a lot with those restrictions to sharpen the strategy. The component and graphic design is very pleasing as well.
A board game box: "Rebirth, Reiner Knizia". Multilayered castle city on a hill overlooking a pastoral scene with bison, 2 people in white robes carrying a red flag in the foreground, and another castle in the distance. Airships dot the landscape.

I've been struggling with a board game I've been working on. I took some time to write a series of mission statements to orient me. Independant of any particular design decision, and mostly invariant, they are helping me better evaluate each playtest. It's similar to design pillars in #gamedev. 🎲✂️
