With the indie games movement gaining traction and its luminaries evolving in different directions, the base IGS experience seems to have shifted fundamentally. Matt Wegner had remarked at the first talk of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Snooping around the web for some home-dev organisation technique, I&#8217;ve stumbled upon David Seah&#8217;s Printable CEO Series. At first glance it looks like just another GTD-oriented series of charts, but closer inspection reveals that the series draws inspirations from techniques used in video games.

Moreover, the author frequently refers to some game theory or methods peppered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently spotted on GameSetWatch a note about ThumbStadium, a ultra-minimalist gaming console. With an interface composed only of three leds (green, green/red and red) and two buttons, we&#8217;re far from the &#8220;now-gen&#8221;, and yet this proves once again that you don&#8217;t really need so many bells and whistles to create a fun experience.

		<description><![CDATA[While working on games, I&#8217;ve come to notice how often the games industry borrows vocabulary to other media; mainly from movies and literature due to their shared strong narrative component.
I was thinking about game interfaces and HUDs and I remembered a word I had heard associated to film music. The example was a scene from [...]]]></description>

One pixel games are a little pet experiment of mine in which I try to find &#8220;gameness&#8221; or ludicity in minimal systems, namely &#8220;pixels&#8221; &#8211; squares whose only function is to display color. You can check out other instances of these pixels here.
I was in the process of seeing through the release of the first [...]]]></description>
