When I started making games, I had a choice to make: under what name was I going to release them? Now, this was a while ago – more than ten years. (AgustÃn Cordes recently told me that I was one of the first of the indies and that I should …
[Note: while everything I wrote about grace is still exactly what I believe, I was completely wrong to attack Koster in this way, and have written about that in The Bogeymen of the Indie Scene.] One of the things that has always frustrated me about game design is that in …
There’s a new interview with me at Citizen Game, which is pretty neat. And I have a really interesting post about game design that I’m currently not managing to actually publish. Also I can’t access Twitter. Oh, the joys of 56k. It’s like trying to run Gothic 3 on an …

There now is an official Lands of Dream site. Many awesome things shall be posted there. I am very happy that it finally exists. More importantly, The Sea Will Claim Everything is now available from said website for 10$. (I thought about making it $9.99, but that’s always seemed like …
Verena has now finally talked to the person officially in charge of the investigation (man, that sounds like there was a murder or something) and as it turns out, this person is not a bully like the one we previously had to deal with. This makes me no happier about …
