Our Django port of Rami Ismail's developer/press utility presskit() just got updated to support Django 2 and 3. Django 1 support has been dropped entirely.

You can get django-presskit() on Github and pypi!

Merry Chrimmus! Y'all know it's a special episode because I gave it a proper title. Listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript online.

This month's episode is special because we're joined by Dr. Lucy Arnold of Liminal Consulting. She designed the community survey that we ran this fall, and hopped into the podcast to talk about her initial reading of the results. You can find her over on Twitter or reach out to her via email.

Part of our work to make Exploit: Zero Day easier for us to maintain and update was making a job editor for ourselves. Previously, we'd been creating jobs (the storyline missions for the player) using the Django admin interface, which is very nice but makes it difficult to have a ...

If you listened to our most recent podcast, you heard us talk about what we've been up to in our work on Exploit: Zero Day. We haven't worked much on our social puzzle game about hacktivism for a while; we've been focusing instead on "The Majesty of ...

"(I Fell in Love With) The Majesty of Colors" is coming out in just a few days. We're nervous and excited and trepidatious and many other things you might find in a thesaurus related to "nervous". We don't release games very often, so this feels big.

As we finish up our remastering of "(I Fell in Love With) The Majesty of Colors," we've settled on our list of enhancements we're making in this version. Beyond making the game work on modern devices, here are the major changes you'll get when you purchase the new version:

Sometimes in game development (and in development at large) you spend a lot of time on a task that's less important because you think it should be simple. We ran into one of those issues lately involving an input method for our nearly-finished remastering of "(I Fell in Love ...

Our upcoming remaster of "The Majesty of Colors" will be available on a bunch of devices: iOS and Android phones and tablets as well as Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs. We're excited to release on such a wide array of platforms, but it raises some development challenges!

We have about 12 different sites or parts of sites that could have outages and two of us to manage them. Some of these have been up for years, and some are newer. Some applications require special installation or debugging, and some must be on differently-configured servers.

When one of those goes down, we both need to know how to diagnose and fix it as soon as possible. So how do we manage that?

Great news: our remaster of (I Fell in Love With) The Majesty of Colors is now playable from beginning to end. We're still working on coding up the opening and closing narration and the menus, but the core of the game is complete with all of the original branches.
