So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.
I intend to use my profits from the game to fund and uplift creators less privileged than he is. I’ve already begun that effort with the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant: https://grants.draknek.org/
Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games: 124: Thinking Inside the Box with Patrick Traynor (Patrick's Parabox)

We're joined by Patrick Traynor, creator of Patrick's Parabox, a mind-bending recursive puzzle game about boxes within boxes. We discuss following your gut to what a game wants to be, being part of the puzzle design community, and our core philosophies behind puzzle design. Show Notes:                    

Looking for a little head-scratcher to pass the time? We've collected some free and experimental thinky games we saw throughout September!

🎤 In her new BBC Radio 4 podcast Young Again, Kirsty Young takes her guests back to meet their younger selves and asks the question: if you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently?

Her first guest is model Linda Evangelista. It's a disarming and moving discussion.
