April 2018: After a lot of time away from game development (basically three years), I jumped into Ludum Dare again for the 41st competition. I made a game called Deal Them 21, which I’m actually pretty happy with! See details (and play) here.

December 2012: My Ludum Dare 25 (Theme: You Are the Villain) game is something I might build into something more substantial some other time. It’s called You Are The Level Designer.

Spring 2012: I did a couple of projects with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Mechanical Turk is a service that allows people to complete small jobs (HITs: Human Intelligence Tasks) for money. In one, I paid workers $0.03 each to copy/paste the Heart Sutra, in reference to the tradition of Shakyo.

I also repurposed the common HIT of flagging inappropriate images to challenge people’s compartmentalization of the meat production process. I had eighty workers look at three images: one of a living pig, one of a pig being slaughtered, and one of pork chops on a grill. They could flag any of these as “offensive, repulsive, or otherwise disgusting”. They could also write comments. The results are as follows:

• 90% of workers flagged the photo of the pig being slaughtered.
• Only 3.75% flagged the pork chops as well.
• Comments from workers who flagged the slaughter photo but not the meat photo:
  • “2nd is disgusting”
  • “I am not a vegetarian, otherwise image nr 3 would have been offensive as well :)”
  • “Food processing is not always preety.”
  • “Naked man cutting a pig”
  • “The second image which is checked is kind of offensive one, since it shows cutting a pig and the blood stains make the image more disgusting.”
  • “YUCK..!!THIS IS DISGUSTING..!KILLING A PIG.”
  • “horrible slaughter of poor pig”

  Scientists and doctors have collaborated together to find the solution of purchase levitra online respitecaresa.org some of the toughest problems which mankind is facing. Normally, these pills are composed of natural ingredients that are clinically tested for safety and pose no side effects or drug free sample of cialis conflicts. In effect, not canadian cialis using the nofollow tag then there are different methods for different platforms. Due to erectile dysfunction viagra for sale cheap being not only a physical disorder, but the issue touching a man deeply at the emotional level as well, efficient solutions of this “painful” problem should be understood better, before any correctional step is taken.

Taking care to note that the image does contain graphic depictions of animal slaughter, you can see what the task looked like here.

I characterize these explorations of Mechanical Turk as MIREs: Materially Incentivized Rhetorical Encounters.

March 2012: I made this ridiculous game with FlashPunk for Pirate Kart V. It’s called Man Dog Macree. It’s really dumb. In a good way, though? I made it in like 3 hours and most of that time was just gathering audio, so… game jams! Wee!
