A blog about game design and development & randomness.
How is it that Valve can imbue a game with more personality than other games could ever hope to dream of USING ONLY A COMPUTER VOICE AND A STEEL BOX WITH A LITTLE HEART ON IT?! Does that mean Valve is amazing, or just that everything else is depressingly bad? Maybe both.
It’s ironic and awesome that the guy who once wrote this went on to work on the game that would have the most incredible crate ever, worthy of official merchandising.
Hey, my name is Marek Bronstring and I'm Head of Content at Sega. You're looking at my rarely-updated game design blog. I think this sidebar needs some more text so let me tell you what my top favorite animals are: 1) meerkats 2) mimic octopuses 3) miniature horses (particularly when used as assistance animals).
Excellent gaming podcast hosted by some of my friends in the US. Intelligent yet meme-tastic... check it out.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
I just found the original companion cube! Right there in the crate review!

Ha, what a wonderful observation. I hadn’t thought of the start-to-crate/companion cube connection
