My new game + album Asterism is out now! I made a behind the scenes of my handcrafted art to celebrate! 🚀

Please share around! If you play, a steam review would be super appreciated :D It's very hard to get seen as a small indie game and reviews do help!

Does anyone have any Music video-game recommendations?
June 10, 2025 at 10:27 AM
Can anyone recommend me some games that are in some way interactive museums / exhibits? My main reference points atm are 90s CD-roms like Encarta, The Beginner's Guide, and now The Museum of Screens which was at A MAZE this year

@amazefest.bsky.social was wonderful this year and very inspiring as always! very glad to have been able to meet / catch up with so many cool people!

I'm down to my last CD at the maker's market at A MAZE (apart from my sample CD which I guess is technically for sale too?) - all the rest are back in the UK so come and find me if you want one!

For this month's Kritiqal Care I had a nice discussion with @shimmerglitch.bsky.social about her recent interactive concept album Asterism. We discuss writing music for play, how making the game from physical objects impacted its design, and the value of a good dev log.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

In a 20 minute talk is it ok to have over 3 minutes dedicated to a scene-by-scene analysis of the music video for A-Ha's Take On Me lol

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players.
