I'm proud to announce the release of the final version of Nagasaki Kitty today, the 78th anniversary of the bombing.
This project has seen many iterations and has taken a lot of work. My goal was to create historical knowledge through play. I hope that the game achieves this!
Today, we recognize the 78th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki. In honour of this day, we are pleased to announce the release of the final version of our game.

Looking forward to @CGSAACEV this week! There are so many interesting panels to check out, it is tough to choose what to go to!
For the interested, I will be talking with @ryanscheiding on Friday about how educational game design can better consider the affordances of genre.
Just about to start my ICGaN 2023 talk focused on yūrei (ghosts) and Japanese-ness in the Fatal Frame series.
For those that can't make it, I created a short 10 minute video version that you can find here: youtube.com/watch?v=iIcO4JLz…

I taught my Narrative Co-creation workshop today. As a part of it I created a sample project for my students.
I might have had a little too much fun with it.
If you only watch one academic video featuring a dancing stuffed bear today make it this one!

I uploaded my RePlaying Japan 2022 talk to my YouTube channel. I outline how Nioh 2 is an effective cross-cultural learning tool because of how it adapts Japanese folklore/yokai.

Today was going to be my first day at Georgia Tech but my start date has been pushed back due to a delay in the visa process.
I'm still beyond excited to join @gt_lmc in 2023. In the meantime, I'll just have to add an "Incoming" in front of my title and work on other projects.
