Welcome to my various virtual worlds
'Games for May' is the banner for my hobby projects, collecting games and digital things I have made in my spare time.
All of these things are daft, pointless, usually half-baked at best, but over the years have kept me out of the woods for longer than they should have. Some of these projects are collaborations with other folk, those are better than the ones I make on my own.
Various extremely serious random scribblings and a picture of a monkey carrying a snowball.
There are times when I can't bear reading the real news, so I sometimes make stuff up instead. Other people have joined in that process too. It's not fake news, its Imaginary ; It doesn't pretend so it's better for the soul. Sure you can argue its the sort of deliberate disconnection from reality that is exactly what the purveyors of the post-truth dissonance want from the masses. Still funny sometimes though.
Not including Killer Rabbits, Bongosquares, the official rules to (sorry, I mean "Laws of..") 'Fives', anything between 2013 - 2017, anything i'm currently working on and the 'Name that Judge' game.
The ultimate UGC universe from the early 2000s (very much ahead of its time while simultaneously lagging far behind it), exists in an ironically titled 'Early Access' form on Steam.
When its actually running (rarely) the game is mostly a form of quaint online museum (like one of those little ones in provincial towns that has the world's largest collection of 1970s HB pencils or something) ; not very interesting, nothing much to see, but theres a suggestion someone once put a great deal of effort into making it and they presumably still pay the rent, even though there's never any visitors.
It occasionally receives bouts of updates (as happened at the start of 2023) to try to keep it in some sort of playable form (but that usually fails). If you catch it at the right time (or wrong time, depending on your point of view), there might be a few worlds to play on and some empty space to explore, and if you dig deep there's emergent P2P economy systems (that rely on Honest Active Players to function, and hence dont), houses and oil drills, castles and hornball, farming simulators and really crap explosions. If you're a creative type you can make your own world for Others to play on, but that would require Others. On at least one world, Jehovah (he did say Jehovah) offers ridiculously overpriced fuel and there's a pub
A new thing I haven't written yet
Sorry, I haven't written this new thing yet and anyway it wouldn't be as good as Recipe Corner which I think might be peak me.

I don't really do that much, sorry. Not that I wouldn't love to catch up with you or something, I probably would for sure, especially if you bought tickets for a test match and we were able to sit around all day in the sun drinking beers, covering all sorts of topics as they come to mind, but sitting at a desk in front of a computer or looking at a phone's screen, nah, thats not the place for communicating.
I like being in the woods (ideally with a small handaxe and a kettle over the fire), and walking in sunshine when its way too hot. I photosynthesise and greatly enjoy the feeling of almost, but not quite, suffering from heatstroke. On alternate Tuesdays I am attempting to convince myself I am Italian by very slowly acquiring storage boxes with Italian labels on them.
So you see, not really much point responding to an email, whatsapp or linkedin message is there?
