Well, all that is going to change in 2018, and now that my blog is fully operational, I hope to write about what I'm playing. Blog often and stay off Twitter. Getting the Grumpy Gamer blog back up and running has been very therapeutic. But besides a few mobile games to waste some time, I didn't really play anything else.

I was one of the first to correctly describe the indie bubble, writing blog posts that got many views and got me sweet gigs working for free giving talks at conferences. And then all of the blogs and podcasts and Twitch streams and webcomics and YouTubers and VTubers and on and on and on. Your blog post is fine! And blog posts.)

There is also a great appeal in feeding our imagination. I'm planning a few blogs posts about the craft of fantasy. Fantasy doesn't need power to be successful. It can be dark and sad and free of hope, and yet still totally compelling. Look at Game of Thrones. Or all horror. How to make it well, I’ll take up in future articles.

We're heading into spooky season, and there's no better way to celebrate an eerie action-adventure game than diving into the newest issue of the Kristala game dev blog.

Whenever I saw a complaint from a game dev pop up on my Twitter feed, I recorded it in Excel. Being uninformed is as easy to fix as reading a few game development books and blogs. In the middle of April, I did an experiment. I didn’t have a plan to use this data, I just thought it would be interesting to gather.

Nine years ago I wrote a blog post titled "If I made another Monkey Island" and it feels like there are some things I need to say. I would not constantly keep you up-to-date or be feeding the hype-machine. I wrote it in a single afternoon, and it was not much more than a stream of thoughts. I would vanish for long periods of time.
