Your design work and talks have been very influential to me… I was just looking at your 2xko interviews yesterday getting inspired by your vision for it. This must be so heartbreaking. it makes me livid.
I know you’ll be tremendous at whatever is next for you.

I had read somewhere that it was a very storyboard driven show, so the visual gags and pacing were the fundamental basis that everything else was built on… it makes a lot of sense and helped me understand how it worked. From many angles, a very special show with a generation defining sense of humor

And yes: Titanium Court, a game that was entirely secret until just now, is also as good as these nominations suggest! It’s a delightful game about games, and full of love for them in every corner. You might need to be a sicko to love it… but I certainly do…

At first I thought it was just weirdly hitting for me personally but it turns out a lot of other jurors felt the same way about it. Maybe you will too!

It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and charming… You play as a writer, collecting/levelling up your knowledge in different topics by talking to people, and then selecting/combining those topics to generate new writing. It’s simple but VERY compelling!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
