I think the current state of video games is made of on the one hand, the big mainstream makers who evolved out of the original companies, and on the other hand people who were kids when those companies were making games. Now, we find ourselves uniquely literate in the form, and we’ve come of age as designers exactly as a tremendous boom of availability of middleware makes it pretty easy to make complex games for free.

After a few years of returning to our roots and admitting that there was magic in the gaming past which has become very rare, I think it’s natural to feel a little sick of that strictly retro fare, and now we ought to go pretty crazy trying to discover veins of that magic with new designs.

This post was going to be longer originally, but I think it’s done. :)
