Incredibly shocked and saddened to learn of Steve Dee’s passing. His passion for making games and sharing the craft of gamemaking was unmatched. He made a whole bunch of great games (It Is Forbidden is stellar), and in his memory I want to share my favourite:

The first-ever One Shot musical! Years ago, the band Broadside made a deal with the devil for their success. Now he’s coming to collect. Before we find out what happens, we have to create the band and explore their past.

You know what tells you a lot about a society? Our LAWS.

What do we punish? Do we enforce them fairly? Do we think our laws are just?

So of course I made world-building game about that…

I'm still wrapping my head around the concept of Party of One being 10 years old. But damnit if we're not going to celebrate in style.
Starting Monday, Party of One is celebrating its 10th anniversary with not just one episode, but 5 special episodes.

It's a big anniversary. It deserves a big celebration. A party, if you will.

Absolutely loved this game. Weird-as-you-want worldbuilding, characters you instantly care about, and all building towards an almost (but not quite!) guaranteed tragic ending. Get it.

Having a hard time reconciling exactly what these policies will mean for game designers who sell on itch.io in any capacity. So many games "contain" these themes and topics without having them as part of the narrative... the line isn't in the sand, it's somewhere underwater and constantly moving.
