A thread of horror games I curated for a @gaemz.bsky.social Halloween event. The idea was to play a small selection of esoteric, strange, and experimental horror as a group. It was only me and my partner that showed up 😅. Busy month / sudden sicknesses (the true horror). We still played them all!

@itch.io Halloween sale is live. I have increased the price of The Golden Tower. It is temporarily more expensive farfama.itch.io/the-golden-t...

In the near future I'll be expanding this series to the themes of Stillness, Nature, Noise, and Glitch. I have a pretty large list of games I've found.

Got my game poem "The Stone Garden" up on itch. Made in Decker at a game poem jam inspired by @farfama.bsky.social wzackw.itch.io/the-stone-ga... You can also just play it in your browser (wzackw.com/stonegarden....), but it's fun to have a collection of my games together on itch :)

This project is dramatically different from what it was 2 years ago. It's more creatively unhinged. Two major decisions I'll write about more later 1. Can only run on one computer. A system specifically designed to experience it 2. It won't be released as a download. Your physical presence is needed

I've started to focus on listing less games for each curation topic. I think planting a seed, and letting it grow though community contributions via some type of per page message board or dicussion system is the approach I will be taking.

GDoC Expo happens this week. Much needed event given the state of the industry. The grant I received in 2024 allowed me to gain access to tools and resources for my most ambitious project, and the personal confidence to pursue its pure artistic potential without the trappings of commercial pressure.

Game Devs of Color Expo@gdocexpo.com · 2mo ago

The global game community is diverse. The industry isn't. GDoCExpo is an online conference that exists to close that gap. Celebrate creativity & culture in games w/ us! This week: talks, panels, interviews, networking, community demos, Direct, grant awards & watch parties! Who we are & what we do👇🏽

i just published a post about my time at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org "When you strip back the commercialism, the urge to “sell”, and with that remove all the predatory behavior capitalism encourages… you are left with something human that creates the groundwork for games to be relevant to everyone."
