It's been a sad month.
As I mentioned in my last Patreon update, I was going to write a summary of the research I've done on the social psychology of violence – or, "emergent evil". What I didn't expect was for this summary to become my wa...

I really, really thought my first project with PBS Frontline would be out this month. It's a Parable of the Polygons-esque explainer on the social psychology of terrorism. However, given the recent tragedy in Orlando, (on which 2016-06-27 21:18:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi everyone!
For the past couple months, I've been in "exploratory" mode – making lots of tiny prototypes, rather than any one complete, self-contained project. Most of the prototypes were crap, so I'm going to pretend they never happened...

Hey hey! It's my second Patreon exclusive behind-the-scenes post. This month: two and a half prototypes, and apparently... either academic research is sorta interesting, or maybe I'm just a really boring person???
This Friday, I'll be on a panel with a bunch of other indie gamedevs, talking about how to use games to say shtuff. Given that I've made Coming Out Simulator, Parable of the Polygons, and most recently, Neurotic Neurons, the conference organizers tho...

Because Neurotic Neurons took several months of mucking about before settling on something, I'm going to try something new this time -- make a whole bunch of prototypes first, then decide which one(s) to fully flesh out. This also means...

You know how Parable of the Polygons was basically a half-game half-blog-post? I've been thinking about what other mediums we could inject interactivity into. One in particular, I think might be a great candidate: edu-videos, like CGP Grey, Mi...
