Happy Friday! This week’s game and book recap features my favorite genre lately: detective mysteries 🔍

The Rise of The Golden Idol + The Moving Finger are both short yet thrilling work that filled my craving for a good head-scratching puzzle.

This Wednesday I’m chatting about how structure helped idea generation! Splitting the 12 games into theme sets and game poem “breaks” was way more appealing that doing 12 undefined games in a row.

Revisiting the very first game of 2025: In Time, On Distance.

While it stands out as an early entry for the studio, this project will forever be special to Vine Moss Games ✨

Happy Friday ~ excited to start each weekend with a recap of a game and book I’ve been consuming recently.

Finding inspiration and enjoying great work made by talented people - try Neva by Nomada Studio and Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell ✨

In this new video series, I’ll talk about some of the lessons I’ve learned while making a game a month - from process to technical skill and beyond. This week: scope!

I've been excited for (and getting little peeks of) Game Poems for a little while now and now it's out for everyone to see!

"see", which is to say that you, the person reading this, should aside an hour or so and play through these games.

It was great to meet you @seanporio.bsky.social! Thanks so much for stopping by, we're very much rooting for The Magus Circle ✨
@vinemossgames.bsky.social Brought the heat with a slew of demos for a series of narrative games! Being me, I jumped straight into the demo with more horror-inspired visuals and really enjoyed their take on story-telling and unique interfaces for narrative. Also super genuine, nice folks :)

Thank you 2025: youtube.com/shorts/XzYu5...

12 months, 12 games was a bit of an arbitrary challenge, but one I tackled knowing what I wanted to do and having the drive to achieve it.

Thank you all for joining this journey - your support made last year more than worth it ✨
