Succumbing to overwhelming requests, we've decide to record a special Delores podcast. Also realizing that we're really bad at figuring out what to say, we've decided to make it a AMA podcast. But it's not just me doing it, so it more "us", so it's really a AUA podcast. And when I say "anything" I really mean anything about the new Delores game. So, I guess it's really a AUAAD podcast.

It’s quarantine o’clock and I’m responding to comments that I got on a post I wrote a few weeks ago: What confuses you about board game development ? This time, I’m going to talk about pitching to board game publishers. Yes, those mysterious entities with make-or-break power over your creative dreams. Let’s talk about what they want and why they’re so weird.

Hello, fellow indie gamers and RPG enthusiasts! How's it going? We hope well. We're a little late dropping this-here new issue of the Kristala dev blog, but we promise we've got a good reason. We're officially in the final development crunch for the vertical slice demo of Kristala! Wait, wait, wait. Hang on. We really need to properly give that last statement the recognition and celebration it deserves.

Much like when TWP launched, people have been asking for right-click to skip dialog in Delores. I’ve really pushed back on doing this for one reason: It’s too damn easy. During the TWP playtests, I watch players right-click to skip dialog so fast that it didn’t even register something came on the screen. Then a bit later they would be confused.

I'd ask some questions and it was clear that the dialog was never even seen.

I'm looking for a good Linux laptop. I've hunted around (probably not in the right places) and found a few I like, but then I go to buy them and they all come with Windows. I've had several bad experiences with trying to install Linux, flashing boot roms, plugging in USB drives, etc, etc. I just want to buy a laptop that already has Linux. Is this possible?

By Ron Gilbert. As I write this on the 9th day of May in the year of 2020 the Pandemic is far from over. Different people deal with isolation, fear, social distancing and hoarding toilet paper differently. I built a game. It helped keep me sane. As I mentioned back in March, I began rewriting the Thimbleweed Park engine with no real goal in mind, it just seemed like something to do and I had a few ideas about UI I wanted to explore.
