(2025-Present)

Game Poems is a online literary magazine dedicated to exploring the artistic and poetic potential of short-form videogames by pulbishing new games directly in a playable format. Each issue curates a selection of new works based on a combination of open call and invited contributions. Rather than treating games as illustrations of written text, Game Poems approaches videogame making itself as a poetic practice. We have published games made by poets, scholars, students, indie developers, and lead designers at AAA game studios—each exploring different perspectives on what short-form videogames can do and be.

(2024-Present)

An international community of over 500 creators from games, poetry, literature, and the visual arts, exploring how poetic approaches can shape the design and impact of videogames. Founded in 2024 after my GDC talk, "How Poetry Can Help Us Make Better Games," the Game Poets Community hosts daily discussions, idea exchanges, and collaborations via Discord, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue and creative experimentation. Open to anyone with an interest in pursuing videogame design as a holistic, human, and poetic art form.

(2010)

In 2010, after a successful Kickstarter campaign (the campaign was featured as a "project we love" on the front page of Kickstarter.com), I set out to travel long term on a shoestring budget with the goal of making little videogames and "notgames" along the way about the things I was seeing and experiencing. The idea was to use videogames as a kind of travel writing, mainly because I had never seen anyone try to do that before. Gametrekking.com continues to host the interactive creations and travel writing that emerged from that project.
