I don’t want to think about how long and painstaking the process must have been to create art and lenses that lined up perfectly but remained gorgeous from every angle. You can finish it in the time it takes to watch a long episode of Black Mirror, but the level of craftsmanship is staggering. I’m growing more and more appreciative of short games that do something unique, and Gorogoa is exactly that.
All of this to say, play more games, don’t let people take advantage of you, do what makes you happy, be exceedingly kind and patient with others, and keep moving forward, especially when it seems like there’s nothing to look forward to. I also discovered that I enjoy the study and craft of tabletop RPG products a hell of a lot, so I’m making it a high-priority goal to self-publish an adventure or two in 2018.

I decided not to perform for free again unless I have a very good reason to, and I encourage all artists to adopt a similar policy. Music-wise, I’m in a weird spot where I still want to play trombone, but I get increasingly diminishing returns from it. But I still managed to crank out eight episodes of a new podcast I started and play in more tabletop RPG sessions than I have since high school. It’s also left me with less time than I would like to do creative, introspective work like this. I’ve had to adjust to a lot of changes, including a new job that has solved a lot of my financial problems.
Fortunately, some of the best games of the decade released in 2017, and they kept me going through some rough weeks. I won’t go into the details, because I couldn’t do them justice if I tried. I’m going to state the obvious: 2017 was a hard year for a lot of people.
