🪿🔔Honk! Untitled Goose Exhibition is now open at @ACMI 🔔🪿
What a bizarre and lovely thing to see 18 months of spreadsheets and big ideas turn into an actual *room* - a big, beautiful, silly exhibition about a small, beautiful silly game. Can't wait for you to visit ✨✨
In June, I spoke with Team Cherry about the process of designing Silksong - Pharloom's worldbuilding, the game's origins, and the creative principles that guide their work.
Today Silksong is out - and so is my article. I'm excited to share it with you:

Downloading steam next fest demos to play on the shinkansen (I’m on post-exhibition post-games month holiday 😌) if you’re a local dev with a demo out, let me know, I wanna play!
Also it’s gorgeous? Lush colours, feels genuinely weird in the way old games are, not just superficially “retro” - play it!
Dicealot is another highlight -in a sea of deckbuilding roguelikes, this one is dice-based, medieval themed & make my eyes spin like slot machines. The mechanics are remarkably simple & refined - the demo onboarding is messy, but it's 100% worth it store.steampowered.com/app/3…

Today marks the announcement of SUMMER ETERNAL,
"a cultural megaproject, a RPG with complexity and ambition worthy to rival our wretched and wonderful world."
The studio takes the form of a creative co-op, made up of several ex ZA/UM employees.

It’s been a big week for red headed videogame curators 💞
Just saw Honk! @ACMI which was so carefully and ingeniously curated by the Jini Maxwell. It is not only playful, joyous and cheeky but pioneering in the museum space! Go see it! Promise the goose won’t chase you after, it only targets red headed games curators 🔥🔥
