The open call for Game Poems Magazine Issue 2 is now live!

Game Poems is a *playable* magazine dedicated to exploring the artistic and poetic potential of short-form videogames.

If you make small, experimental games, we'd love to see what you create.

My favourite part of the Electric Dreams exhibition at the Tate is Suzanne Treister's "Fictional Videogame Stills" that she made on an Amiga 1000 in the early 90s.
We only have them now because she took photographs of her art on the screen back then - the original Amiga discs have corrupted!

A bit of a late announcement, but I’ll be at GDC this year as part of the Pixelles Ensemble! πŸ’œ Feel free to message me if you’re there and you’d like to meet-up and chat. (especially if it’s art/lighting/cinematography)

Just read a silly take on ray tracing not being noticeable.

Nah

Piss on something other than lighting if you want to talk about marginally meaningful art/tech improvements in games.

Lighting is one of the most powerful levers around to make something feel quality regardless of level of detail.
