My travelogue for the upcoming months includes some speaking engagements! On Monday (May 20) I am going to be speaking at Drexel University in Philadelphia among a panel of really smart people! The event is the Drexel Week of Writing, and our topic is – Pitfall! What Writers and Videogame Designers Need to Know About Each Other.…

Last week I mentioned I was moving to Pittsburgh for a new project. So let me tell you about what I’m working on now… http://gamesprout.com/ GameSprout is a new community for game designers and developers. The big idea – people pitch different game concepts for games they’d like to see made. The community votes on…

This week I officially am beginning a relocation to Pittsburgh to start working at Schell Games. I’m very excited about the new project that we’re doing and I hope to be able to provide more details real soon! My writing at Tap-Repeatedly will continue as well as the writing I do here, so I’m not…

Some hands-on previews I did at PAXhttp://tap-repeatedly.com/2013/03/pax-east-hands-on-outlast-and-remember-me/ And a chat about some new indie mystery adventure games!http://tap-repeatedly.com/2013/03/talking-cognition-at-pax-east/

This Month’s Blogs of the Round Table is about our female role models. Though there’s lots of women in the industry whose work has inspired me, I’m going to talk about characters, because I’ve always had one foot planted in fiction while my foggy head travels the real world. I’m also not going to talk about…

Cipher Prime had a game jam Thursday night. The theme was “vacation.” I was a little distracted, but I took it as an opportunity to learn Twine, the super-accessible hyper-text adventure game creator that’s sweeping the indie nation. I once tried to learn SCUBA diving on a vacation, so I made the game about that.…

Last weekend I went out to IndieCade East and had a fantastic time! I’ll be posting more about that here later, but first let me direct you to Tap-Repeatedly where I posted an editorial about the idea of the Expo Game. This was specifically in regard to Hokra, with a detour into Monopoly and Starcraft and…

To follow: some thoughts on the game called Infamous, which is stylized inFAMOUS or sometimes inFamous, and was released for Playstation 3 consoles in the year 2009. This is another one of those games that I missed when it was new due to lack of the proper hardware. I don’t think I will write a…

Well, I’m in the middle of GGJ13, and… not making a game. But, I do hope to have some small prototype done for the One Game a Month movement, which I committed to because I can’t be stopped from taking on projects. Edit to Add: I don’t think I’ll be uploading it to the site,…

Sorry about this, but, just for a moment, I have to talk about me. I develop games and also write about them. I like to think this gives me some insight that some other game bloggers don’t have. The final section of my “games of the year” article touched on game creation. There are more…
