33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

It’s like How It’s Made but specifically for candy and snack foods. It was on the cooking channel back when they made things that weren’t just reality competitions, but there’s compilations on YouTube!

An enormous congratulations to each and every developer that worked with me on Strange Scaffold's very first driving game. (I'll tag them throughout the day.) This was one of the most challenging games that I've ever made, but I'm grateful for all of these talented devs for sticking the landing <3

Everyone’s asking what Nolan’s next big thing is when his business isn’t even done. He’s obviously gonna follow up with the Telegony which ends with Telemachus and Telegonus reenacting this song over the credits

Narrative rarely gets to be the high level decision driver outside of very specific kinds of projects and a lot of what narrative ends up doing, especially on larger projects, is unpacking the implications of decisions on emotional engagement
