Open Source TGE: Sooner rather than later

An open-sourced TGE would revitalise the community and provide a significantly larger possible client base for T3D. I think absolutely everyone wins. Please take this as a massive "Yes" vote from me.

Podcast hits episode 20! Celebration!

Hey guys. We've just released episode 20 of our weekly games-and-industry podcast [url=www.visitingthevillage.com]Visiting The Village[/url], and as usual I'd really love it if you guys could take a listen and tell me what you think. Everyone's been pretty positive so far: our snappy, informed (somewhat...) approach has been well received.

Thoughts on score-based game design

A lot has been made of how bad death is in games, and “modern” design often points in the direction of trying to remove death. I believe that this does not apply for heavily generative and score-based games.

Very excited about T3D

Reinvention is hard, and GG have had to deal with a lot of criticsm in the last two months. I'm posting to congratulate them - for what it's worth, I believe that we're seeing some great decision making in action.
