Freue mich, dass meine kritische Linse, die bei Anno 1800 noch intensiv beschmunzelt wurde, nun doch angenommen wird - auch wenn ich mir gewünscht hätte, dass es noch tiefer geht, als die gleiche Frage nach Sklaverei einfach noch mal erneut zu stellen. Nichtsdestotrotz: schön. Und überfällig.

Saying «AI is just a tool» might be the laziest form of aggressive ignorance. As a statement, it's ultimately both trivial and almost meaningless, serving only to free you from further thought so that you can use the gadgets without caring about their preconditions, implications, and consequences
Also this by Rafman: "What I still don’t understand is this whole idea of ‘ethical AI’. To me, even framing it that way is already problematic. AI itself isn’t unethical – it’s a tool." That's naive at best (I'm trying to be very understanding here).

New article: one thing from every inkle game that we failed to explain clearly enough, and how often we've been made to regret it.
You can’t underestimate everyone
Here is a quick list of features in inkle games which we failed to tutorialise or remind players of enough. The data is empirically backed…

Hello #PitchYaGame -

and counterrevolution?

You can do just that in 2026 in "a permanent echo"

So I recently finished playing Mini Mini Golf Golf by @threemoreyears.bsky.social and I think you might have some common stuff to talk about.

They're tackling climate collapse through the lense of a simple golf game, merged with Immortality-like segments you have to decode. It's really good!

I'll be giving a workshop on art games soon, and i wanted to ask y'all "how would you describe art games?"

For us, it's making games that create friction with a common imagination of our shared future. And figuring out how to narrate fiction beyond the hero's journey. What's it for you?

Oh this looks fascinating
There's this saying in our neck of the woods - a squirrel's sustenance is achieved through tedium.
But slowly things come together. For this #screenshotsaturday, it's a first glimpse at the gameplay loop!
