Weekly Links #154

Hello, everyone! Once again, I've been busy coding stuff that's not related to games, so there won't be many links today. Let's start with the fact that as of last Sunday No Time To Play is on Game Jolt as well. Don't expect much activity from that direction, but it's one more way to connect with us if you're so inclined.

In other news, my friends have been at it again, Kris with some thoughts about setting in videogames, and Sera with an article about who media representation is for. Needless to say, I recommend both, for different reasons.

Then there's this article I've been pointed at, about the educational value of practicing game design, even if your game never ends up being published, or even played by many. Couldn't agree more, even though I noticed that more often with programming language design, rather than games. Either way, nothing can beat hands-on experience when it comes to learning. All the theory in the world is useless until you see for yourself where it came from.

But that's enough preachiness for a week. Until next time, roll up your sleeves and make something.
