Defying gravity. Curiouser and curiouser. Game designer, creative coder and lecturer. Currently leading the Games and Playful Design MA at Goldsmiths. He/they.
This is something I wrote to go a bit deeper on how I teach game design and how I run the MA in Independent Games at Goldsmiths. Retweets and likes are appreciated and very helpful, as well as comments from students. https://t.co/tEYqMyueDn
And TBF I do think that any emulator of an existing and still on sale, fully supported system (meaning: current generation) is threatening the real emulation scene and going against videogame preservation.
People calling Nintendo hypocritical for going after emulators and using them in their museum tend to be the same using emulators to steal switch games and play them on another device. Which has very little to do with preserving the history of games.
I sincerely support emulators for preserving old games, BUT let's be honest. Most people are not interested in that, and the only reason why Nintendo has gone after emulation is because of Switch piracy.
@nielsen_holly I loved that moment. It was so great seeing so many brodude youtubers which have been shouting for days about every stupid leak getting trolled by Nintendo.
@tha_rami I had a similar experience in Stockholm with an amazing alcohol free pairing. The added bonus was the woman who was responsible of drinks explaining all the techniques to get to a specific flavour. She even got us an extra drink she was working on to get feedback!
Come on 6-7-8 of September to the Final Degree Show for the game design MA I run. It will be at Goldsmiths and you will be able to play amazing student made games! I promise there are some exceptional projects this year. Info: https://t.co/S9H6gsLje2
Not very happy with the trend of souls like combat in metroidvania games. I think it unnecessarily raises stress and takes away from the pleasure of exploration and finding hidden places. Both Metroid and Castlevania were great at keeping a bit of challenge without being brutal.
Some students are LITERALLY building a hut for tomorrow’s final degree show! It’s going to be fantastic! We’re on from Fri 08 at 6pm fir the whole weekend! Come and play games!
