Hello again! My big messy games collection came out at the end of last week. I thought it was about time I announced it here!

A big shout out to Justo for coming on to this weird project with me and helping me make it a reality, and to Dav999 for helping me to localize everything into more than 20 languages. Putting this thing together has been a huge undertaking, and I am so happy with how it turned out.

One of the big inspirations for this project was the Calvin and Hobbes 10th Anniversary collection, which I read as a teenager, and which really made an impact on me. Here is this guy, you know, Bill, he makes so-called lowbrow art, comics for newspapers – but the book is full of little stories about what he was interested in, about what was going on with his career as he was making the comics, about experiments that didn’t work out and how he came up with his world and his different characters. I found that so inspiring, and still do.

I don’t know if I’ve succeeded, but I tried to put a little bit of that into this; less museum exhibition and more designer’s notebook. I hope there are some things in here that surprise and delight and inspire. <3

Right. Time to go make some new games!
