New Inquiry interview

finch kay interviewed me for the New Inquiry which is a really great magazine. fatima al qadiri and leigh alexander are in there as well! if you dont know fatima, shes a versatile musician/artist who survived the gulf war and made an alternate soundtrack for a game about the gulf war and i like her music!!

i think i repeat myself in some places for the benefit of a non-games audience, but im real happy to be in a non-games space, id love more bleed between zones. i did the interview in a state of vomit-weakened delirium, sitting in my backyard under the grapefruit tree as a recorder recorded my voice, which sounded like death.

my indiecade trailer

Please supply a short gameplay video. This video can be an important supplement to your submission as it will introduce jurors to your game. The video can be in the format of a trailer, but should not run for longer than 3 min. Focus on showing the game and how it plays. Take care to make it clear what is happening, and to illuminate, if possible, the experience of playing the game. You may supply more than one video, but remember clarity and brevity will have the most impact.

the music of porp games: a compilation

pretty much everything i make is based on music

music is my emotions when i have none

my games are music games

they should have a soundcloud.

i listened to many of these songs over and over again (Ke$ha’s Warrior track, 7 hours on repeat) until they become permanent reminders of a certain time in my life, even tear-inducing to relive (the howling dogs tracks especially).

my games are how i get people to listen to music.

that is a big reason why they exist.

Youtube playlist

(or click the jump to listen to them as individual Youtubes + 2 extra tracks that weren’t on Youtube)

HIGH END CUSTOMIZABLE SAUNA EXPERIENCE

HIGH END CUSTOMIZABLE SAUNA EXPERIENCE

i designed this for a crowd with big font and lots of choices, like a CYOA book a bunch of people can play at once

it was made last minute for Oakland Nights Live which is a fun cool live talk show where people do esoteric performances based on a theme, and the theme was Hacking

…but all i could think about was high end customizable sauna experiences and cupcakes :~O

i read the words over mic and people yelled the choices and my friend Channing did the clicking. playing games live can be a very fun and cutey of an experience!

 

You guys @aliendovecote 's live twine game at ONL went SO GOOD. seeing 200 people yelling CRYSTAL ARMOR! PLANT ARMOR! warmed my heart :>

"High-end Customizable Sauna Experience" by @aliendovecote is one of the greatest things I've ever seen at Oakland Nights Live.
