On to the next one.

Yesterday was my last day at Trion. I’m a little bummed to have left when I did, as the project I was on was really gaining a lot of momentum.

But! I’m even more excited about where I’m going to. Sifteo is making some really cool things, and I’m psyched about helping them explore new kinds of gaming experiences.

But! Before I can dig into my new job, I have to get through GDC next week. I assume it’s going to be good times, but I haven’t had a chance to look into where the good lectures or parties are going to be happening. So I guess I’ll be winging it, schedule-wise.

Life is good, but kind of hectic.

VVVVVV.

It’s not necessarily a question of how hard a game is; it’s often more about how forgiving or unforgiving it is. VVVVVV is crazy difficult in places, but it’s also extremely generous.

Shoffle Roffle

I got a sudden urge to prove that I could make a game from scratch in just one weekend. Here’s the result:

Shoffle Roffle.

Conclusion? It is very possible to make a game in under two days. Making a good game, on the other hand, probably requires a little more time.

Unresolved resolutions.

I’m pleasantly surprised to see that I managed a 50% success rate on last year’s resolutions, for which my hair and fingernails are very grateful.

Circuit Drop: Second thoughts.

Here are some vaguely postmortemy notes on the game, mostly for my own reference.

Circuit Drop.

This is one of those projects that started out as a simple exercise and then drew itself out for way too long.

Clearing out the backlog.

I’m very, very bad at prototyping in the sense of killing something off once I decide that something else would be a better use of my time.

Twagnetic Poetry.

Twagnetic Poetry munges the text of a person’s Twitter posts and turns them into “magnetic” poetry, which you can shuffle and rearrange as if your browser were a refrigerator door.

Pressing words.

I’ve done a lot of foolish things with this site over the years, but saying to myself, “Self, Movable Type has gotten kind of old and crufty. Let’s switch the entire site over to Wordpress!” has got to be one of the foolishiest.
