Searching for games by non-programmers

  By Carolyn VanEseltine • September 28, 2015 Announcements, Blog

Hi everyone!

In preparation for an upcoming talk, I’m searching for video games made by non-programmers (using a game creation tool such as Twine, Construct 2, Ren’Py, Scratch, GameMaker, etc). The game doesn’t have to be huge or complicated or commercial – just available somewhere I can see it. I’m … Keep reading →

Ludum Dare 33: Success!

  By Carolyn VanEseltine • August 23, 2015 Announcements, Blog

There’ll be a much more formal “hey look, a new game!” post tomorrow, but I would like to fall on my face, which interferes with my ability to write one now.

18 Rooms to Home starts Thursday!

  By Carolyn VanEseltine • May 18, 2015 Announcements, Blog

For months now, I’ve been head-down in two major projects, which have occupied enough of my time that I haven’t released any smaller games for a while. But I miss writing short-form games, and people keep telling me they enjoy my short-form work, so I want to remedy that.

Interviewed in IFography #3!

  By Carolyn VanEseltine • May 4, 2015 Announcements, Blog
