Leaving the Country


I'll be leaving for Gamescom this sunday, and as such I don't anticipate a tremendous amount of writing time. I'll be out there for a week, so I'll have plenty to show for it when I return.

I also picked up a bit of a project bike, in need of a scrubbing, some new parts, and a lot of elbow grease. I'll absolutely be sharing that process here, as it will be my first overhaul without the aid of a mechanic. Stand back, expensive shop near my house, I'm about to learn to do this shit myself.

Oh, and new ThinkThank is up on the sidebar, this time for A Bug's Life. Go check it out! Or don't! I'm not the boss of you!

I'm not really cut out for the more performative industry stuff. But tonight was nice-- got to talk game design, trains, local accents, and a little Canadian history with some nice Albertans. A few students were there too, and I was once again asked if I would consider starting a lecture series or something similar. Its enough that I'm actually considering it, self-important as that feels. It does  feel quite nice to see other budding designers visibly begin believing that they can turn their ideas into real games. Maybe I could share some of what I know about the design process, classic pitfalls, and strategies to avoid get...
