had a nice talk about my upcoming game Bernband with the guardian 👍
www.theguardian.com/games/2025/a...

Bernband’s alien landscape is the perfect place for digital wandering – just don’t expect a map

With distinct, discrete areas that you can visit at any time, this is not a traditional open world game, and resists gamification with the mantra ‘there’s no goal but to stroll’

For instance, what if there were feasible platform options (for production or circulation) that weren't owned by for-profit companies but instead publicly owned? What if society was structured so not everyone had to monetise their cultural activity in the first place?
