Sometimes I dabble in arenas in which I have zero expertise, and this is where I hide the results. There’s not much here now, but maybe there’ll be more soon.
Lately I’ve been making games and interactive stories with accessible tools like Twine and Inklewriter. I’m not very good at it yet, but I think I deserve an A for effort. Shh. Don’t speak. Just nod.
Here’s my Inklewriter interactive story about rescuing a pig from slaughter by a high-end Brooklyn foodie restaurant. It’s called Save Merlin the Pig!, and I think it has six endings, whereby only one is a successful rescue.
Here is The SXSW Game, my Twine game about what I imagine a visit to SXSW is like, based on never having attended it myself.
I made THE SEX CHAMBER to try to summon the particular alienation I felt by the combination of games vocabulary and adult subject matter when I was a kid discovering obscure indie shareware in the early 1990s.
A little while ago I thought I’d try my hand at quick-hit serial fiction writing on Tumblr. I haltingly unspooled a narrative that heavily leans on cyberpunk cliches, because my interest was in the format and structure of a social media-facing serial, not because I have any idea how to do a plot. It’s called memep00l, and I’ve currently left off updating, but you can read it chronologically on Tumblr if you like.
