As usual, I was remiss in updating the wider world about our December work, which I'd like to take a moment to do here. The big star was this in-depth Yuji Horii interview from 2000, which covers the early development of Dragon Quest and his PC and game journalism work. shmuplations.com/yujihorii/
Yuji Horii – 2000 Developer Interview - shmuplations.com
Conducted shortly after the release of Dragon Quest VII, this lengthy, in-depth Yuji Horii interview originally appeared in Game Maestro volume 1 in 2000.

Remarkable how quietly everyone in this industry excuses Terraforming Mars. Even in offline spaces, people get very uncomfortable if anyone brings up the horrible things people behind this game have said.

First review of 2026 is live and it's for a good 'un -- an exquisitely esoteric database mystery from @inkle.co.

Shades of Sam Barlow, naturally; I was also reminded of Benjamin Labatut's "nonfiction novels", The Maniac and When We Cease To Understand The World. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...
TR-49 review – inventive narrative deduction game steeped in the strangest of wartime secrets
The UK game developer’s latest is a database mystery constructed from an archive of fictional books. Their combined contents threaten to crack the code of reality

Every NY Game Awards, I walk away proud of the @nyvgcc.bsky.social for the work it does to make our city a better place, champion games writing, and celebrate a diverse array of games. It’s always so heartening to see people come out, have a good time, and support the non-profit work.

Well deserved PMG! I can't wait to see what PMG will do next.
PMG won the Knickerbocker Award for Best Games Journalism last night at the @nyvgcc.bsky.social!

It feels like we've come such a long way since we first launched this thing nearly eight years ago, but winning a journalism award at an event in NEW YORK CITY still seems totally mad to me.
