Hey hey, here's another GIF of my upcoming as-of-yet-untitled game about the news.
This minigame should be out next month! At the very least, I want it out before the 2016 U.S. Election, because – hoo howdy – there's a heavily media-driven conflict right there.
Before this game's released, I might also be able to get out a few short explorable explanations, and blog posts on how to make explorable explanations! After talking with fellow OpenNews fellow Martin Shelton, I've gotten a good outline for an interactive explainer on mass surveillance and the base rate fallacy – or why, even if we had a 99% accurate terrorist-detection test, it still would be a waste of valuable national security resources. This should be a really small project. Plus, it'll help me pick up where I suddenly left off with my cancelled game, Nothing To Hide.
Ha ha I can't believe I'm actually making Patreon updates on a regular basis now.
