Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

11/6 - Fantasy General

I had a passing interest in war games, though I was more interested in the strategy than differentiating 18 kinds of tanks from each other. Fantasy General solved all that by being, well, fantasy. Imaginative units and brutal difficulty meant hours of strategic fun. #365games

11/4 - Virtual Reality Studio 1/2

Among the "toolkit" games that propelled down the path of wanting to make games myself, these two loomed large. Incredibly powerful if you put the work in, with these I felt like I really could make worlds. Would love to make a version for kids these days #365games

11/3 - Slay The Spire

Getting towards the end of the year, so I've got to get to most important stuff! Spire kicked off a deckbuilder explosion, but it also made me completely rethink the entire concept of the roguelite. It's been 8 years, and I'm still coming back to it regularly. #365games
