I'm starting a newsletter where I'll share my thoughts on game design and genre conventions, mostly from an ecocritical perspective. The first article, on why I think The Sims 2 makes for a great city building game, is up now: hugging-pixel-trees.ghost.io/levels-of-ab... #gamedesign #sims2

Wanted to make a game where you make letters do things and came up with what I now think of as an interactive poetry collection: roughat.itch.io/the-t-migrat...
