IGG Marathon going on NOW NOW NOW
The Indie Games for Good marathon is going on right now! Go watch these fine folks sit in a room and play indie games and yell at each other when they die! They’re on World of Goo as of this writing, and I can hear them yelling in the background. I imagine someone’s structure just […]

I am Bad at Capitalism
So in theory, when you make games, other people are supposed to pay you to play them. But here at Paper Dino Software, we don’t play by your rules, society! So in gross defiance of conventional wisdom (not to mention basic business acumen) I have turned the tables on your precious paradigm and am instead […]

That time of year again
It’s mid-October, and the pumpkins are out. And, potentially more interesting, the list of IGF entries for the year is out as well. There are some fantastic things on that list! And while there is one of them at least, that I have a certain amount of bias towards, I think I will highlight a […]

Announcing Negative Spacecraft!
Looking at my recent dalliance into games about poetry, you could probably be forgiven if you were worried that I was past my “boss rush” phase, had forsaken SHMUPS and had decided to go play with word games, my new best friend, for ever and ever, from now on. If you thought this however, you […]

Haiku News (Hai-news?)
So I released Haiku Hero, and then promptly vanished off to Japan to hang out with the cool folks from Nigoro/Asterizm, sing Karoke, and eat delicious chicken katsu.
