The reason why procgen in games is, as we like to say, a great way of getting twice the content with four times the work is that you can't fight Shannon's laws any more than you can fight the laws of thermodynamics. You can't give the audience more information than you were willing to put in.
ME: Oh, silly me! I was playing Big Walk that night. It's sort of a multiplayer ... puzzle solving game? On an island? I was headed back on my own to blue tower with a bloobo and got lost in the dark for a while. It's pretty easy to do if you don't have a light source. COLUMBO: Is that right?
The only correct answer to “is it videogames or video games” is “it depends if I’m being paid per word”

I don't have quite a whole blog post in me yet but I'm percolating on how goofing off in Big Walk feels like real goofing off because there are stakes – getting lost, losing a key item, "wasting" time. Goof-em-up games shouldn't let you undo mistakes so easily!
finally sat down to play this and what a treat. a perfect bonbon of a game

for this bandcamp friday consider picking up two albums of textured, shifting drones (one mostly via synth and lap steel and the other via fingerpicked baritone guitar) that I think have a lot in common with how I approach editing for games silohomes.bandcamp.com/album/riverg...
