Comments on: a HAIKU games manifesto https://letterclub.games/2024/06/10/a-haiku-games-manifesto/ Letters about game design Wed, 12 Jun 2024 15:21:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: Droqen https://letterclub.games/2024/06/10/a-haiku-games-manifesto/#comment-446 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 01:55:50 +0000 https://letterclub.games/?p=647#comment-446 I wrote this while walking to and from the grocery store to buy a gnarled nub of ginger. I witnessed an expensive car honking incessantly at a young man exercising his simple right of way. I witnessed some kind of verbal harassment and a young woman’s placatory dodge.

All that time I thought mainly about how to intervene in the dangerous act of game making. This is all that I came up with.

The haiku game has become a salve of sorts for a deep personal dissatisfaction with games as they are now. I return to it often, each time I recognize a tiredness and seek an oasis. This is an attempt to draw a map to that oasis.

love, droqen
