Well, now that I graduated (yay!) I have a bit more free time - I used this free time to make a prototype of this game idea I posted about a while ago.

It's pretty rough, but the basic idea is there. Try it out!


Have fun!

Trip report: Second game of Marine Worlds

Image
I got a chance today to play a 2nd game of Ark Nova's Marine Worlds expansion - here's a recap of my experience. My opponent was playing his first game of Ark Nova altogether - I gave him Map 0 and took two random maps for myself, happily picking up Silver Lake. The variant actions I saw were unexciting - I ended up taking a "Build +1" variant that helped a small amount, and a Cards variant with a Clever kicker that I never paid for. My initial draw was the Reef Dweller dream: A Shark I could play as my first Reef Dweller, along with two other solid Reef animals. I played an Expert on Asia as my first Sponsors and snapped up a 4th Reef animal, planning to go all in for the Sea Animals conservation project. The Caribbean Reef Shark was not as incredible as I had hoped - while strong, the ability is limited to animal cards in reputation range , which heavily limited what I could eat from the display. Despite grabbing a 2 Reputation University, I could only only eat a 6-...

The LASIK experience

Warning: This post has virtually nothing to do with video games. Some time around the age of 10, it was decided for me that I had to wear glasses. Between that time and today, I decided getting my eyes fixed via laser was a good idea. I finally went through with it and I figured it would make an interesting blog post. Glasses are a mild annoyance; they're fairly un-invasive, but they start getting in the way as soon as you start doing anything physical, anything involving water or anything that can end with you getting punched in the face. The idea of contacts never appealed to me; something about sticking a piece of plastic onto  your eyeball freaked me out. Getting bits of your eye burned off by a laser seemed like a much more palatable solution. I liked that it was a permanent solution; glasses break, contacts get lost, but it's very hard to undo laser surgery. I also liked that it removed a material dependancy; suddenly I didn't rely on a tiny piece of plastic t...

The Beginner's Guide

If you haven't played this game yet, go play it. You can get it right here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/303210/ It'll take you about 90 minutes. Go do that now. This post assumes you've played it and spoils basically the whole experience. --- Did you play it? Good. This is an email I wrote to the developer, immediately after playing through it: Hi. I just finished playing through A Beginner's Guide. I knew nothing about it going in. I was completely sold on the fact that it was being made by you, and that was enough for me to want to pick it up and give it my time. So I did. And for a while, I believed your story. Early on, the story seemed genuine. I knew in the back of my mind that I couldn't implicitly trust the person responsible for something as subversive as The Stanley Parable, but everything you said was plausible. And being an independent game developer myself, the story rang true, especially when I saw the "made by a newbie wit...
