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. medium.com/virgo-rising/abou…

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: gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=1511…

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.

My next book is *The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.* It's a recipe to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The book is from @VersoBoooks, but the #audiobook is from me - because Amazon refuses to sell it:

This saddens me. Rest in peace, Trevor. I remember you the very first times my uncle brought me to see a game.
