Prelude
Intro to Musings.
Warm yourself by the fire, internet wanderer.
The objective of this project is to put forth and gradually develop a novel, refined perspective on game development. I felt that this could be best achieved in the guise of a personal blog.
I would hope this can ultimately serve as complementary material to our games. The games should speak for themselves, provided they make the landing, but the more inclined might be interested in the zeitgeist of ideas from which they emerge.
Let the value of this articulation lie where it will.
Tags:
Click on a #topic link to see a list of all posts relevant to that topic.
#theory: A little more technical in substance; something of an informal 'paper' on either game design or programming.
#opinion: Lean towards being subjective, anecdotal, "I" and "my" - take it with a grain of salt.
Other tags should be self-explanatory.
Thought Trains:
Some discussions are built upon ideas presented in an earlier post. You'll be guided by 'Thought Train' links where this applies. If you find interest in a certain realm of discussion, you can follow the respective 'Thought Train' for extended reading.
Posts are otherwise ordered by date published.
Each post should have a dedicated comment section. Feel free to leave your thoughts!
Update (2026)
Some refinements have been made to earlier writing, in service of readability. You may find it still to be overly verbose and a little snarky. I do hope, at least, that the core message of each piece is appreciable.
