Normality And The Ergodic — Patreon Salon 6/22/21 (Patreon)

Hey folks, here is a recording of last night's Patreon talk for all of you! It will go live to the public eventually, but all you get first watching privileges. In this talk, I discuss the 2009 RPG Normality, ergodic games (a game that is nonlinear and difficult to read intentionally), lyricism, playability, and game design. I take a bunch of great questions, and together we start to pick at what a game can be.

Reminder that if you want to get in on the next one of these, be sure to join the Discord by syncing your Patreon account with Discord. I don't know how frequently I'll do these or what format they will be, but I hope they'll all continue to be interesting!
