Just over 3 years later I am, in fact, DOING THIS PROJECT! Thanks to the absolutely fab annual game design lab / micro jam at @nowplaythese last week which was what kicked me into action.
15 May 2021
GAMES PEOPLE! Maybe @nnesk or @UnaOsLondon know who to ask. My albums & tapes are often based on conceptual field trips. I wondered if it might be fun to pair up with a game inventor/designer, to work together & create a playable atmospheric release, e.g. pamphlet & tape/wavs???
