Contemplating a run to start the day…
A series of big decisions
- Upgraded to Crackberry
- Commissioned Martin Spernau to build GameRunner tool for Game Of Now
- Giving up meat for 21 days
Game Of Now - hibernating through winter
It has been a dream of mine to live and work in harmony with the seasons:
Stay low and slow through winter, fermenting and distilling new ideas for spring
Burst into life in spring with the new
Travel through summer and celebrate
Harvest through winter by working on big projects to return again to
Winter and the low and slow
//
So I’m starting now. Throughout the winter I will be working on new games for the spring as well as working with some technically-able people on the ‘Gamerunner’ tool that allows me to automate the sending and receiving of texts from my desktop.
So, until next year…
Play well!
24 meets the Informant meets Game Of Now
Years ago I read that Jim Morrison said that every man wants to be a hero. Thus the popularity of film and tv shows that depict gun-carrying, quick-talking, puff-chested 40-something men. See paintball and five-a-side football for further proof of the idea (do all men not dream as boys of holding up some trophy or scoring winning goals in World Cup Finals?)
So what if we could design games in which you could really play at being James Bond?
Watch this space and look out for the Hero game series next spring…
Odd, inspiring, comical, out of place, just perfect. A sign opposite the Quarterhouse Theatre in Folkestone.
