Dan Chamberlain reminisces over the homebrew community which built up around the Net Yaroze, one of the earliest publicly-released game devkits.
Developer Robert Yang has taken his experiences making smart, critical "sex games" and turned it into a manifesto about "game development as cultural work." He argues that games exist in a cultural economy where playing is only one vector for engagement.
"To “consume” a game, it is no longer necessary to play it. Rather, the most important thing about a game is that it exists, because that means you can think about it."At Kill Screen, Will Partin takes long look at the history and design of prisons and the areas where Prison Architect might fail its subject matter, concluding that while the title is engaging enough as a game, it utterly fails as either simulation of or commentary upon its subject matter:
At PC Gamer, Tom Senior writes about the satisfying weight and heft of objects and machinery in Soma, praising the surprisingly realistic physics of the game.
At Shut Up & Sit Down, Brendan Caldwell has written a fantastic piece about "dumb games" – games fueled by aggression that children play.
At Vice, Matt Porter asks What's Happened to Starcraft? At one point, it was the world's most popular e-sport, then it dropped off the map. How did Blizzard let its hold on the tournament market slip? Meanwhile, at Offworld, Laura Hudson praises a visual novel about playing Starcraft 2.

Humor: Triforce
Seriously, though, if you're going to create a mystical totem that enhances the mind of its user, why not add a Compassion component so that you never have to worry about its power falling into the wrong hands?

Woodwork: Hyrule Map
Laser-etched wood map of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Created by Alex Griendling
Created by Alex Griendling
Prints available for purchase from the Neutral Ground Shop. US$150
This wooden map is the first in a series of maps from Neutral Ground, a "digital woodshop" based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Designed in collaboration with Alex Griendling,
the Woodlands series pays tribute to classic maps from video games, and
to the intrepid explorers who dedicated themselves to the discovery of
everything in them.
"We grew up during a time when video games came with packed-in manuals. Sometimes, those manuals included a beautiful map of the world you were soon to discover. Our Woodlands series of laser-etched wood maps is a salute to those who love exploring in fiction and being immersed in the artwork that defines those worlds.
The first in the series is our version of Hyrule inspired by Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Our Woodlands maps are a collaboration with Alex Griendling, a very talented graphic designer based out of Minneapolis. The maps are etched on beautiful pieces of hand-selected maple ply that measure about 18-1/2" wide by 14" tall."
