I've been taking a night class outside of work recently (creative writing) and it's been pretty fulfilling having a creative outlet again. I've written SO MUCH over the past few months!

I was once catching up with a few people whose careers I respect to get some thoughts about what to do next and one of them said

"You know, your next thing doesn't have to be bigger than your last thing."

And it remains one of the most creatively freeing things I've ever heard.

why samurai are cooler than klingons Before this, I used to climb cliffs, drive down to Southern Kansas and fly rockets, go skiing every once in a while. Iโ€™ve been whitewaterโ€ฆ

NEW ARTICLE! NEW ARTICLE!!

Ever wonder ~why~ so many Western stories about samurai all tell you a story about someone who really, really, really likes honor? Where did that come from? And why is it so pervasive? What are samurai movies really about?

Because not shipping is the tier 0 fail case for game development, long ideation gets a bad rap. But for some class of design problems or ideas generally, there is no substitute for letting them steep at their own pace

How can indie save the industry when you often have to work for months with no pay to make a fully realized vertical slice to get a funding deal that takes half your profit and provides almost no marketing in many cases

A reminder that we're dead keen for pitches. Got a bunch in here already, but if you have a dream story, or a story only you can tell, chuck it in the form.

Also we're looking for illustrators! We have some onboard already but we need more! Any Qs slide into my DMs!
