It's docvember!
🕑 Added 2025-11-01 16:11:04 +0000 UTCHey! So, I've been hard at work on a bunch of stuff. I'm prepping three different articles and wrote 7200 words last weekend.
I also wrote the final part of my shooter series here.

I have been laid up in bed (doing what I can for our next game) this past week, mostly from exhausting and uh... other... unpleasantness (think food poisoning, lol). So, hey, I'm moving a bit slow.
I've been thinking about writing a couple short pieces--such as "what can we do with dialogue systems" and "no, games don't need to be $100" to tide you over while I continue researching Shogun's cultural impact on American media. If you're following me over on docseuss.bsky.social, you can see me posting updates there. Patreon updates always make me super anxious. I want to do a good job for you.
I am sorry I'm struggling with such bad health, but rest assured--I have a massive series that'll be coming very soon, possibly early next year, not sure quite yet--that's a deep inside look at a bunch of never-before-seen info on the making of a classic video game. I've been working on it a long, long time--over a year, in fact--and I can't wait to share it with you. But it needs a biiit more time. I have been writing it concurrently with all my other stuff.
Upcoming pieces: $100 games, dialogue systems, deus ex, samurai games and american chauvinism, and planescape torment.
Thank you for all your support. I cannot do this without you. You are the absolute best, and I hope the quality of my work has been satisfying.
New article soon.
