You write a novel in a month. I have no desire to do this but found there is a similar idea called\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nablopomoguideunofficial.blogspot.com\/\">NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)<\/a>\u00a0which is posting one blog post a day for a month.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure I&#8217;ve got time to do post every day, but I will write for my blog every day. There are a ton of things I can write about that I will be doing.<\/p>\n<h3>Why am I doing this?<\/h3>\n<p>I love games and gaming and would love to make games. I am a programmer for my day job, but after doing it all day, I&#8217;ve had about enough programming for one day. So rather than make games I am going to share some of my favorite games with the Internet in general rather than spending all my time telling everyone I know about these wonderful gems of indie goodness.<\/p>\n<h3>Some teasers\/spoilers:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Recently I went to the 2018\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegdex.com\/\">GDEX<\/a>\u00a0which is a weekend-long game developer expo here in Columbus, Ohio that&#8217;s been happening every fall for a few years now. It&#8217;s grown to be over 100 exhibitors including some local hobbyists and small studios up to some well-known indies like Finji of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nightinthewoods.com\/\">Night in the Woods<\/a> fame. There are a couple dozen games from this I could write about.<\/li>\n<li>There are some wonderful new indie games I&#8217;ve encountered between Kickstarter and Humble Bundle. This includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenpawsgame.com\/\">Garden Paws<\/a>\u00a0which is a like a super-chill mashup of Stardew Valley and Minecraft with cute animals. I&#8217;ve been playing this with my kids. I have also been following <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playbombfest.com\/\">Bombfest<\/a> which is in the final stages of finishing up their launch.<\/li>\n<li>Last but not least, there have been a handful of games I started playing this year that I have sunk some major hours into and even finished &#8211; which is increasingly rare for me. This includes <a href=\"http:\/\/hollowknight.com\/\">Hollow Knight<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/unknownworlds.com\/subnautica\/\">Subnautica<\/a>\u00a0which are both amazing atmospheric games with amazing soundtracks and a heavy emphasis on exploration. But that is about all those games have in common.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have some writing friends who are doing\u00a0NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)\u00a0which is exactly what it sounds like.
