Skip to content ↓. No Time To Play. When development IS the game. On Jul.10, 2016, under Gamedev. In other news, early this week Konstantinos Dimopoulos alerted me about Procedural Content Generation in Games. An academic textbook on the topic that’s nevertheless an easy enough read overall. It seems the project was launched a few years ago, but it’s only now ready for publication. Grab it while it’s still free! And for the impatient, my friend Chris Meadows compares two online games of Catan. And you kn...

No Time To Play is five « No Time To Play

Skip to content ↓. No Time To Play. When development IS the game. No Time To Play is five. On Aug.11, 2015, under Miscellaneous. It says much about my state of mind this year that on the blog’s fifth anniversary I waited until evening to write a few lines. Two years ago. And start a Tumblr. So No Time To Play can at least survive in other forms should the worst come to pass. Sadly nobody noticed those either…. The upswing from all this? Unlike a couple of months ago, I.

Weekly Links #82 « No Time To Play

http://notimetoplay.org/2015/08/09/weekly-links-82

Skip to content ↓. No Time To Play. When development IS the game. On Aug.09, 2015, under News. I have a dearth of links again, after last week’s plenty. I guess my current project is taking its toll. Turns out, doing the writing and the layout. The artwork for a tabletop RPG, however modest, uses up a lot of energy. But oh well, won’t be long now. Wait, did I mention women in gaming? Here’s the story of a game nobody would touch. Tabletop RPG players often manage it spectacularly well. Maybe videogam...

Three years of No Time To Play « No Time To Play

http://notimetoplay.org/2013/08/11/three-years-of-no-time-to-play

Skip to content ↓. No Time To Play. When development IS the game. Three years of No Time To Play. On Aug.11, 2013, under News. It’s our third anniversary, and things have changed in the past year. To say the least. And then of course people come looking for our games — often enough in order to see how they’re made, as far as I can tell. Which again fits well with our mission. Sometimes a thousand lines of working code speak louder than entire books on how to program. But who is our audience? I’ve h...

Skip to content ↓. No Time To Play. When development IS the game. More about diversity and representation. On Feb.21, 2016, under Off-topic. I wrote about representation in games before. It’s a complex problem that will take many small steps to solve, all of them partial and faulty. But we need to take those steps already, and that’s why I was happy to see one of my favorite bloggers tackle the problem again. In his article You Are the Hero. On Jan.31, 2016, under Case study. Hello, everyone. I had y...
