Hi, I'm Adam, a game designer who wants to make the world a better place. Reality gamer, developer, and educator by day; pizza-loving, corgi-cuddling, and podcast-hosting by night.

You know, I actually like generative AI in the sense that I'm fascinated at how good new models have gotten at a glance. But then you ask it to make a human version of your father-in-law's adorable Yorkshire Terrier as an old man and, well...

We're going on a trip in my favourite rocket ship!

I am back home from #GDC2025 and that is me for this year, folks! I genuinely hope I get to see you all next year (hopefully I lock in a talk)!

#GDC2025 goers, please come and find me if you like pins and ask me for a pin of my game. I keep forgetting that I have them. Pic for attention!

Too much to even say about day 1 of GDC, but I keep getting compliments about my talk which is flattering, humbling, and makes me feel like I'm doing a good thing in the world. Thank you for those of you who came, and for those who didn't, here's the views from the stage/crowd

Press X to Sit – a tiny GDC game. Yerba Buena Gardens. A blanket. A cozy spot. You sit. Someone picks a chill song and narrates your inner monologue: thoughts on life, GDC, or if you should give me your All Access pass. It's a lil real-world interlude. Anyone keen on playing? Share/DM me! #GDC2025

This is River. He's ready for bed. Can you tell my the way he's staring into my soul?

Fast forward to now: I found a Nielsen Norman Group post on empathy in UX with a very similar spectrum. Both written in 2019 completely independently! Great minds think alike or something?

Just so everyone knows, I totally did it first (but not really, lol).

Back in my PhD days, I had to define an “empathy game” (while I was making an empathy escape room, as you do), so I wrote a paper and made a diagram, because Pete, my PhD supervisor, loves a diagram.

@chrisdeleon.bsky.social Good news! We've now got a new logo that I painstakingly bashed together today (at least I got to do some visual design work!). Still not 100% on it, but it's got the vibe I'm going for. I'll get an artist to prettify it at some point, but I guess now you can share the pod?

Oh my God MORE NEWS!

I will be at GDC 2025 in San Francisco next month (March 15-22) and somehow they’ve trusted me with a microphone. If you're around, please come and watch me wax lyrical for an hour about, that's right, VALUES! schedule.gdconf.com/session/tigg...

Still not sure if dreaming.
