The schedule's out - I'm speaking at the Roguelike Celebration again this year! My talk is titled "The City, The Street, The Lens" and it's about street photography, collisions in time and space and how to think about procedural generation differently. More here: www.roguelike.club/event2026.html

A photo of a truck by the side of the road in Tokyo. The driver's leg is sticking out of the window resting on the side of the trailer. The title of the talk is written on the truck. It will happen on October 18th, online. Tickets are roguelike.club

Many of the games people made in response to this are often accompanied with a comment on the manifesto about breaking through creative block or 'just doing it' and it makes me so happy, each time. Make a game today! Why not! Life is so short and the Internet needs more little treasures scattered.

In 99% of cases you're better off with A Bad Decision than with everybody idling waiting for a decision, or with a decision that continues being litigated six ways by four people, or with a decision that you feel is temporary. You're going to put paint to the canvas or not, you can't "maybe kinda".

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

Man. A simple idea like a wave preview has so much conplexity. What to show, sure. But, waves have some randomness (what spawns) so now I gotta refactor them to be deterministic. Then I gotta figure out how the spawn of the boss (which is pos, not time-based) affects the preview... #gamdev #ui #ux

Day 4 of playtesting, making notes and tweaking things. Today was about difficulty. Pulling everything down a tad. So far it's been 81 noted changes, tweaks and improvements. Most are quite small but there's a few bigger ones. But I think the aggregate will be so worth it.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

If you’re not getting a % cut of the game’s sales, never agree to crunch a single minute. It just doesn’t make sense to work in your free time for some else’s profit. And anyone who tells you otherwise is a slave-driver.
