I can't decide whether I think the level design of Spyro 1's "Treetops" stage is brilliant or asking a little too much of a player. Unlike any level so far this seriously demands you to build an understanding of the 3D space if you want to find the Egg Thieves. Quick visualization I made:

We hosted two panels at GenCon. The first covered Game Design and Development which you can find here! Later this week, we'll have our second panel, about Art and Graphic Design in games, so stay tuned!

If you missed us at Gen Con, we've got the first of our panels up with Pablo @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social, Andrew, Josh, and I as we chat about design and playtesting. Many kudos to @mattmartens.bsky.social for filming this and our dear friend Aja for moderating! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FaA...

youtu.be/Hxn4Bijtod8?... And it's live! The first in my deep dive series exploring the dignified houses (glorious weirdos) of @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social 's Old King's Crown. Really proud of how this one turned out.

New vid tomorrow! :)

Two 3.5 hour drives, 32 demo'd games of Old King's Crown, one 🌪️, and and a Jamboree later and my first GenCon is officially done. Truly an amazing experience, can't thank @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social and @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social enough for inviting me out. Anyway, here's the haul.

Had a blast playing some Old King's Crown with @mattmartens.bsky.social and @hoponboard.bsky.social ! Check out the VOD for Uprising shenanigans, GameCube era tunes, and chatter about @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social and @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social plans for Gen Con. youtu.be/WNV9ShhTkq4

Exporting twitch VODs to YouTube is one of the most unnecessarily excruciating things I've ever experienced. The tinfoil hat inside me is telling me YT leaves this broken on purpose to get people to just stream there instead. (and the worst part is it's working on me.) anyway new video eventually

Thank you to @petewiss.bsky.social and the @decisionspace.bsky.social team for having me on their show! Had a really fun conversation about TOKC and, more broadly, what types of designs can cultivate dedicated and passionate player communities.

Today’s @decisionspace.bsky.social is an exhaustive deep dive into a game that I’ve been obsessed with since it arrived at my door: The Old King’s Crown by @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social . I was joined by @jaffles-gaming.bsky.social because she’s an TOKC expert! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

submitted my wishlist for Gencon 30 seconds after it went live. Was immediately put at #15,804 in the queue my god. You really do need to do it the moment it goes live huh #gencon #boardgames

Nothing like spending all afternoon recording audio and realizing it's all to echo-y to use. 😫 Perks of learning a new space I guess. Time to go rug shopping!

Just landed my first official gig in the tabletop industry! Thank you to @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social for giving me the chance to work on The Old King's Crown (and Annulet 👀) directly! I'm beyond excited for both projects! 🤩

With renewed access to wired internet in my near future, I feel the siren song of fighting games whispering in my ear...

The team over at @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social is crushing their current gamefound campaign! I've had the privilege of playtesting some of the content in TOKC's newest expansion: Songs of Home, and wanted to spin up a little preview of what players can expect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSP8...

Emotionally preparing myself for my usage of the Kirby Air Ride OST in my streams and videos to go from "offbeat and nostalgic" to "everybody and their mother is using them" once Air Riders drops. Still can't wait. 😁
