Here I explore a variety of things about working with data ranging from: exploring it, visualizing it, and things that inspire me to try to provide more ways of interacting with data. In a lot of ways, this is a post is a mix of ideas about being excited about learning from and then presenting what you learn through gathering, exploring, then presenting data.

Polytechnicast - Daily Short Video Creative Challenge Plus Word Turtle Island Progress

۶ weeks پیش

—

Not sure when exactly the marketing push should have started with Word Turtle Island but I do see it needs to be happening now. In this epsisode of the Polytechnicast I'm exploring the creative challenge I started to do daily video posts, while also doing more marketing, while also getting Word Turtle Island ready for it's next updates in June and hopefully 1.0 in July. Remember that time I thought it'd be ready soon a couple years ago? This estimate is more credible but also please be kind considering the source is an optimistic busy artist.

Polytechnicast - Researching Your Game Enough to Learn Enough

۹ weeks پیش

Two main topics this episode. First it's what I've been learning so far with making small videos while exploring topics like teaching interactive design, show and tell about Word Turtle Island, and even video blogging inspired by the old Art Soundoff creative challenge. Second it's about reaching a point of saturation in learning by researching with people playing my game. The bulk of this I recorded into my watch while running errands so the audio isn't great, but I've reviewed and edited and gotta say there's a lot of good ideas, examples, and encouragement here well worth your background co-working audio time.

Polytechnicast - Teaching Interactive Design and Word Turtle Island Arcade Machine

30 weeks پیش

—

Sharing some work in progress and what led me to this point - getting back into teaching interactive design and how I've begun making a physical arcade machine for my game Word Turtle Island. In a nutshell I have a few months of ambitious work and this is my planning and thinking about it all. Outline: Starts with how I focused on making WTI for 2.5 years, summary of why and how that came about. Learning from 6 months of further iteration, marketing, and being published as an early access game. Big take away is: thankful for the time to learn enough to make enough to discover the strong version of WTI, wishing that space for other folks and projects. Current situation: improving the instant visual/story/promise of WTI via feeling the urge to teach again feeling my overall social connections are too small of a bubble both online and in person inspired by projects like Springboard for the Arts' Rural Urban Solidarity Then the ambitious plan: a combination of projects to grow my online and in person connections, teach interactive design with an advocacy focus, and increase sales of my games and teaching. In short: make games and teach interactive design. More specific: WTI Arcade Machine + Regional touring show/tell this game and teaching indie game creating Build WTI to full 1.0 Teach interactive design for free on TikTok and soon also YouTube Publish new paid classes, starting with Paper Prototyping for Interactive Design Know of any places and people to connect with who'd like a visit from me on my Word Turtle Island Indie Game Dev Tour?

Polytechnicast Special - Growing Your Creative Business with Jerzy Drozd

1 year پیش

Earlier this summer I visited Columbus Ohio to visit my friends Anne and Jerzy Drozd. Part of the plan for our visit was to make some creative experiments together, one of them is this very recording with Jerzy . For the first time I can think of both he and I are launching products at the same time. Both projects took years of development. Both we made solo. His project is the book The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue and mine is the action + cozy game Word Turtle Island . In this episode, a special crossover of Thunder Punch Daily + Polytechnicast, Jerzy and I navigate stories of why we made these projects and how we're facing the significant task of marketing to reach the people we know will enjoy what we made. It's a lot like an episode of the Lean Into Art cast which was special to revisit for me, hope it will be for you too.

Polytechnicast - A Place to Practice Spelling

This is Spell, the magical cat who hosts a save place to practice spelling words. In the middle of working on my next big game Word Turtle Island, where you use words as weapons to battle creatures taking away the books of power, the idea for Spell's Spelling came to me. In this episode of the Polytechnicast I reflect on how this came about and how sometimes a project that takes time away from another project can be worthwhile.

The emotional work of discovering, including, representing, and collaborating in design is what I explore in this think aloud journal.

Since the beginning of 2021 I've been blogging every day on my Interactive Storyteller blog . I hope you'll join me there too as I talk about illustrating , making games , and UX design .

Here I explore some of the reasonable and unreasonable goals I had for this month of journaling and developing the UX Mindset series. Practicing this kind of thing helps you meet your own creative process quirks and explore ways to change and work around those quirks. I recorded so many more rough draft journals than I posted, at least 2:1 if not 3:1. It helped me explore the big topic and discover a concept for a UX Mindset book. We'll see where the UX Mindset series goes from here. Probably be back on the Polytechnicast, certainly will be in upcoming workshops, and a good chance I'll persue developing a book.

Polytechnicast - UX Mindset - Active Learning is Certain-enough Instead of Overconfident #artsoundoff

Actively learning is a lot like using applied research. It's a very useful place to work from, you can be confident enough to proceed making things yet not too confident to prevent learning as you go. We setup teams and organizations to sink or swim based on too much certainty. We're certain often from a combination of ego and efficiency seeking without adapting until expensive mistakes happen. What if we practice being confident enough and setup teams to actively learn instead? And the UX Mindset series continues!

Where does UX go wrong? Whether a system is broken at the surface or takes deeper understanding to see how it's not serving the health of its audience along with it's other constituencies: UX can be used to help fix or to make things worse. How can that be? Organizations have a lot to do to just exist and maintain exsistence. Some are not questioning things they could question to fix what's broken. Let's pay attention, be curious, inclusive and move what we make toward collective health. And the UX Mindset series continues!

Any product we make connects a variety of groups of people.

Something I've been considerering for a number of years: how can I help spreat the tools of ux design far and wide. Human centered design + understanding systems and situations where the things we make connect with the audiences we serve are useful mechanisms for so many. Here I talk about how I started with "UX for all" then "Practicing UX" and am thinking how "UX Mindset" may be even more approachable as a way to choose to involve people and see situations differently to be able to make better things.

Polytechnicast - 4 Weeks Instead of 4 Days to Refine the Game Guitar Fretter

Guitar Fretter is 10 years old and I still have more ideas to add and refine. Some of those ideas I'm putting into a new game, some I'm putting into the classic version of Guitar Fretter. Recently I thought I'd make a quick art update and I expected to be ready to publish in about 4 days. Did things get out of hand where it took 4 weeks instead? Analyzing the list of what to improve and testing along the way, it felt it best to make more improvements.

Polytechnicast - Being There When a Team is Starting Their Design Journey - Additional Thoughts About the Article

۵ years پیش

—

I wrote this article called Being There When a Team is Starting Their First Design Journey , my first Medium article. So many organizations in the recent 10+ years have asked: what if we explore if we should build something for our audience instead of just can we build something. They may not have intended to ask that question at the start, but they're asking this when they invite human centered design. Like I shared in the article "Even though UX design is becoming more common, the tools and skills of UX are not yet everywhere". Great opportunity for human centered designers to contribute. In this Polytechnicast I share a summary of the article and explore some additional thoughts surrounding. It would be faster to read the article but then you'd miss out on all this extra commentary.

Two mini-worksheets I made recently in collaboration with Kate Shields Stenzinger help simplify describing the goals and projects you're working on. We call them the Intentional Planner Tools. The Goals and Actions planner is about reflection to help plan what's next combined with asking what you're big goals are for the next 5 years.
