Driving Me Backwards
I just resuscitated an old website about an old project: Space Rock 20XX. It was a pretty weird idea and pretty much a failure. But a fun an interesting failure. It’s strange to read the “artist statement” I wrote back in 2004 and find myself up against many of the same problems, now with Super Bongo Fury.
I’ve been cranking on SBF for the past two weeks and an update is coming soon. I also submitted a proposal to show SBF at the Experimental Gameplay Workshop (at the Game Developers Conference in March). I would be extremely honored if the proposal gets accepted, but I’m not at all confident it will be. The good/humbling thing about applying to the EGW is that it forced me to try and close the loop, forced me to see the loose threads and half-baked ideas. I’m confident there’s a interesting core within SBF, but much is still inchoate.
So, it’s onward, with renewed vigor.
