LDG is still hard at work on its first game. Here's a little teaser to tide you over while we finish it:. In most games, you are given tasks: you have a quest or a mission to accomplish, and you go off to do it. Sometimes, they're tasks for NPCs, and other times, they're story-based. But what if it went the other way? What would you do to get things done right? What would your rewards be? How would you care for the adventurers you send out? How would you get what you need to reward your heroes?

Games are an adventure. They expand your mind by placing you in another world, one with its own rules and environment for you to explore. They let you place yourself in someone else's shoes and experiment without fear of the consequences. Much like a good book, a good game will pull you in and let you experience something you never could in your normal life. If Captain Ahab had quickly found and killed the white whale, would he have been able to redeem himself? This is what it means to be a gamer: to be ...

Lost Dimension Games Blog: Engineer's Hell
http://blog.lost-dimension-games.org/2010/08/engineers-hell.html
Sunday, August 22, 2010. I have spent the last five hours in Engineer's Hell. For the uninitiated, Engineer's Hell is that lovely place where everything is right, but nothing works. Imagine, for instance, a mechanic's frustration with a car that won't start, even though every test he tries (save actually starting it) says it should. Or, more simply, your own frustration with a door that won't close fully, even though there's nothing stopping it. Why do you trust a root certificate? Because someone handed...

Lost Dimension Games Blog: LDG and Open Source
http://blog.lost-dimension-games.org/2009/10/ldg-and-open-source.html
LDG and Open Source. Thursday, October 29, 2009. LDG is performing a rather intricate dance where open source is concerned. On one hand, we like it a lot. We like giving things away for free, we like the freedoms it gives, and we really like the way it improves over time. On the other hand, we have some compelling reasons to avoid it in the short run, mostly revolving around money. If, at some point, we can afford to risk going open source immediately, we'll be happy to do it. We'll probably still de...

Lost Dimension Games Blog: LDG's Business Model
http://blog.lost-dimension-games.org/2009/10/ldgs-business-model.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. The difference between a normal business and a non-profit seems, at first glance, to be a no-brainer. A normal business turns a profit by selling products or services for more than they cost it to produce. A non-profit uses donated time and money to serve its community. They're as different as day and night. The downside is that there's a lot of work involved to convince people (especially the IRS) that nobody is. Aside from those (admittedly important) differences, there's no...
