After a long power cut last night (& no printer) I now have the fun of trying to finish my prototype on the train. Hopefully no one reports a “see it, say it, sort it” on my gigantic murderer scissors…

I got to show my game and they were so lovely and they want to see it again and I could not be happier.
Bonus: I got a coffee biscuit and a seat. The luxury!

I’ve got a communication game about the language of clothing. Players combine transparent cards into outfits to express 3 secret words for others to guess.
I’m sure you’re booked solid at Essen but it’s unique, good & I think it’s your cup of tea. I only need 10mins to show it.

Pinterest just sent me this image. I have no context or creator so it Imight be AI but I like it. Why do we like patterns or aesthetic repetition? Is it a Gestalt thing? Is there some psychological safety in familiarity?
Maybe I just like the idea of gothic pansies…

Mad space themed dinner at Six by Nico last night. So creative with hovering food and sensory deprivation. If you’re in the uk and have one near you, you should go.

Inspiration: The Making of the Perfect Martini by Guy Buffet 2000.
I saw this on Substack (Cool Stories About Art) and love it. Has any made a game about mixology shaking dice in a cocktail shaker? I really want to do this!

I search for moss images to sooth my heart / brain. Healthy happy moss. So beautiful and luscious.
I have adhd so Im guilty of many fad crushes on all sorts of things, but my love of moss has endured from childhood.
It just looks like kindness in plant form.

I think these are beautiful. Wondering if I could make my logo look like a Japanese or Chinese mood seal. So I’ve been googling their use in art. Fascinating…

Thinking of creating an OTT fashion character to promote my game. On impulse I picked up these shoes (very cheap) but wow, they are even worse IRL. More furry fetish than runway 🤢

Inspiration: Ancient Egyptian game Hounds & Jackals. Most surviving versions of this game are large but I like to imagine this one being the size of my palm.
Maybe I could make some limited edition small games that would be like fine art jewellery with precious metals clay and fancy wood…
