Posted on 05/12/2015 by kunzelman

Just wanted to make a quick post about Crocotile 3D, a program I noticed on Twitter the other day. It seems like a really interesting system for creating 3D spaces out of 2D tilesets. Alex Hanson-White is the developer and … Continue reading →

Martin on the Cinephile as War Machine

Posted on 05/11/2015 by kunzelman

Gaby Cepeda on the Girls Of The Internet Museum

Posted on 05/08/2015 by kunzelman

AA: It’s interesting that the GIM evolved from a research project about ephemeral curatorial practice; while GIM has an eternal archive (at least as long as Tumblr exists), many of the works stem from more traditional ephemera. How do you … Continue reading →

Epanalepsis Trailer

Posted on 05/06/2015 by kunzelman

I’ve been making a game for the last six months called Epanalepsis. It is a science fictiony game about time and cities and contemporary life and it doesn’t really fit a lot of the traditional boundaries of adventure games. It will … Continue reading →

On The Battle of the Five Armies

Posted on 04/28/2015 by kunzelman

The Battle of the Five Armies, the third film in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I’m a weird half-fan of Tolkien. I went through “the phase” as a kid, and then I checked out … Continue reading →

Just a quick post that I forgot to make a while back: I was on the Gamechurch podcast a while back and I think that it is a pretty good talk overall. We chat about the south and what it … Continue reading →

Line Hollis on King’s Quest IV and Manuals

Posted on 04/06/2015 by kunzelman

It’s funny. I was raised on these games, so there was definitely a time when I was a dutiful manual reader. I remember excitedly yanking the manuals out of the game boxes on the way home from the computer store. … Continue reading →

Posted on 04/01/2015 by kunzelman

NWS for an art penis I’m less amazed by what is going on here technically than I am by the idea that something so seemingly simple can produce something that looks so weird and alien. I’ll follow this up a … Continue reading →
