Title: Hi. Please don't eat me.

Hi I'm zerojuan. This here is my blog: http://codeanginamo.com/blog/.

I work as a commercial game coder/grunt by day to pay the bills so I make anti-games by night for atonement.

You worked on a game for Biomodd. We know Angelo Vermeulen pretty well! :)

I have actually played the game during a groWorld Bazar at Foam's in Brussels. :)
Adrian Hon was very good at it!

Welcome!  Most of us here aren't against games, but hopefully we can discover some new things by exploring other directions.  It will be good of you to join in. :)

 :D :D :D :D

I love games. But I don't think videogames make very good games. That's why I think we should make other things with the same technology. I actually think there's a lot to love about videogames. Just not the game part. If want to play a game, I'll just play chess. But if I want to be immersed in a fascinating world, I'll start up Silent Hill! :)

I was excited when Angelo told me Tale of Tales gets to play the game. Thanks for the feedback, I'm working on polishing it a bit more.

Most of the things I try to make are anti-games. Like this no-button game: http://gamejolt.com/online/games/other/close-your-eyes-for-60-seconds/1039/ which is a reaction to some of my friends joining the one-button bandwagon. Juvenile satire I know, but I'm on that phase of my life. :)

I'll probably stay here and learn more about immersion, which I assume is what notgames are about.

I like the game you made. I think that it was totally worth it :)
