Attending GDC next week as part of the Perfect Tides: S2S squad and always up to meet to discuss editing, editing pipelines, the roll of specificity in the creation of place, how it is both warmer and colder than expected, or just sitting quietly in the Agnes Martin room across the street.

We heard some folks get nervous about attending gaming events in person, for a lot of reasons. @heartimecia.bsky.social has some hard-earned advice for having fun, being respectful, and getting the most out of cons like GDC.

"was incredibly helpful in drawing out the most clear and confident version of the story I wanted to tell” is both the best thing an editor could hope to hear about a project and a perfect encapsulation of what an editor actually does and why you should consider working with one for your game

you should support Mothership for many reasons, but one close to home is how thoughtfully @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social dug into the pacing of specific moments in her review.

space and density in scenes is something @meredithgran.com and I discussed often, so it was great to see it mentioned here.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station by Meredith Gran A point n' click sequel to Perfect Tides about the momentum and whiplash of young adulthood.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is now available on Itch for PC & Mac! You can get it (along with the first Perfect Tides) here:

discounting this Bluesky map for not including Pathologic 3 Localizer Gulch, a feature I am not a part of but can see from multiple windows

Anyway. More games should be short stories! But that can’t happen unless we are accepting of that form - otherwise the form dies, replaced by longer forms that require more capital investment to make. Like happened in scifi. Guess who benefited from that

sounds a lot like Broadcast, maybe “America’s Boy” m.youtube.com/watch?v=hxgR...

What a loss. Reading about “vocational awe” early in my MLIS program meant so much, and I know plenty of booksellers and game designers who found something necessary in there as well. www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocatio...

Paper Labyrinths is such a good podcast with such insightful conversations that, even having spent over two years talking with @meredithgran.com about Perfect Tides: Station to Station, I still hit play the minute it appeared in my feed.

Post-Release Acknowledgments - Meredith Gran Perfect Tides: Station to Station has been out for 1 week today. To my surprise, it has taken a long time to recover physically from the long sprint

Wrote a post on my blog today about some of the people who helped make Perfect Tides: Station to Station.

It's not a complete list, but I hope you'll join me in awestruck gratitude. This game required a lot of hearts and minds.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed Perfect Tides: Station to Station on steam! Some really nice recent ones:

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

playing COMMONWEALTH via Discord was some of the most fun I had with anything last year, and the way that so many small moments & rolls carry you forward and create the bigger arc of just being a little shit Barry Lyndon-ing your way through Book of the New Sun is something really special

Now to go take a walk and revisit a certain special album in celebration.

It has been an incredible experience working with @meredithgran.com on Perfect Tides: Station to Station.

So much thought and care went into the words, story, art, music, and systems (yes, systems), and it is amazing to see it already resonating so much with players who value those things.
