I have given multiple talks at GDC and GamesCom.

And I collaborate with Game Makers Toolkit and Extra Credits.

How Games Speak

Extra Credits

Games have a lot of parts and layers, each can say something unique.

They can say even more together if you know what you’re doing.

I wrote this video to show people how to think about these layers of meaning in games.

The Unmatched Power of Being Wrong

Glitch City Demo

Letting people be wrong is the heart of surprise, and a fundamental of good storytelling.

I try to prove it here showing what Star Wars has in common with an indie-game about bar-tending.

Achieving Vicartiy

Extra Credits

Great games let you live fictional moments. But we don’t talk enough about it.

So I made a new-whole-dang word to try and fix that.

Types of Conflict

Glitch City Demo

Conflict is about way more than people fighting.

So here is a crash course on all the ways people can struggle in stories.
