Perhaps the most spectacular island temple in the area, this temple of healing is surrounded by a large moat that needs to be crossed by bridge before you can reach the inner shrine. This was certainly a highlight of my second day exploring Khmer temples near Siem Reap.
Life is Strange: Chapter 1
I played the first chapter of Life is Strange and ended up doing something I swore I wouldn’t do when I started this project: I bought a new game.
Don’t Land on Solid Blocks
I noticed a problem when testing some refactors and new features last week. Buckeye Butterflies would die if they landed on Melons. Obviously this wasn’t intended – the extra landing blocks are meant to be where Butterflies thrive, not where they die.
No One Wrote this Article
When I was younger and learning about game design, one phrase got stuck in my head. “Under the sun there is no new thing.” Is that true? Is everything just a remix of old ideas? Is it actually possible to create something completely new?

Yesterday I saw three photos that absolutely shocked me. If anyone can look at these pictures and still say that climate change isn’t real they are on the wrong side of history. And if things keep going the way they are, there won’t be much history left to experience.
The Screams of the Banshee
