Dev Blog, Post 1

As a writer, you’re not really encouraged to share updates on a work in progress. Nobody wants to hear about how you’re really struggling with the Second Act Turn. I’m not even sure I know what that means. But as I’ve gotten into coding — making both Twitter bots and games — I’ve discovered the concept of the “Dev Blog.”

The next paragraph explains what a Dev Blog is. You’ll either find this interesting or insulting, depending on who you are. So please read or skip accordingly.

“Dev Blog” is short for “Development Blog.” It’s a place for a game or software developer to post updates regarding the progress of their current project or projects.

So that’s what I’m going to do here. Welcome to the Dev Blog. What am I working on?

Right now, several projects:

– A couple of essays for Medium on various topics
– @GunfightGame, an Old West shootout game for Twitter
– “The 2003 AIM Conversation Simulator”
– “Lettuce Walk,” the third of the tortoise games for koanoftheday.com (first and second)
– A short book the name of which I cannot disclose
– A kotd novel tentatively titled “the book of #zen”
– Two more games that involve breaking the ludic circle

So, hopefully, this blog will help me update people, and keep me honest about the projects that I’m working on.
