The Great Free-for-all!

All articles will be free again! Hooray for accessibility!

Mar 27, 2023

Quick update for everyone I’ve taken a lot of feedback about the newsletter and have decided to change the viewing policy regarding payment.

I’ve decided to switch all the articles back to being free. This was a fun experiment this week, and I wanted to thank you all for being a part of it. As I get better at this whole newsletter thing changes will be less drastic.

So please feel free to go through the last week and read any of the articles you may have missed from the paywall.

I’m changing the payment system to pay what you want right now. If you would like to change your current subscription tier send me a message and we can work it out.

Here’s a little list of the articles you probably missed:

Lessons from a Game Producer: Navigating Group Dynamics and Embracing the Unknown

I wasn’t planning on having something out today. But a topical storm outside my door changed my mind. So lets chat. Lets talk a little bit about the nature of group work. Of course… this will be in relation to games, but this is the kind of stuff that transcends games. I’ve been the producer on the last four projects, and I’ve learned a lot at each project. I’ve written before how much fun I had designing my latest games narrative. We’ll have a download link for that game up soon, we’re still putting the finishing touches on it for the quarter…

The Battle Pass Phenomenon: Are They Changing the Game?

Ok so yesterdays post was a little experiment and I’d love to get some feedback! I really enjoy writing these posts, and am going to keep doing them paid or not. However, money is nice.
