Katsumi Yoshida@yozibak.bsky.social · 6mo agoyozibak.itch.io/maze I updated my old project, a classic 3d dungeon crawler - but everything's procedurally generated, including music. The music changes reacting to the gameplay. You can play it on any browser (written in TS using vanilla WebGL).
I interviewed Freeplay's co-founder Katharine Neil a couple of years ago about its origins & legacy. There was SO much fascinating stuff that I couldn't publish but I'm still really proud of the piece & feel as if documenting this stuff holds a tiny bit of importance too.

We spoke with Katharine Neil in commemoration of Freeplay festival’s 20th anniversary

This is devastating. One of my favourite games of the year, To a T is a beautiful slice-of-life narrative with some of the best disability messaging I’ve seen in games. Please play it!
