Patrick Curry likes his job. He's a games designer who worked as Lead on Stubbs the Zombie and others, and has set himself a rather astounding challenge: he's to design a new game every week that is a) good, b) nothing to do with work. The results from the past 27 weeks are on his blog - a fantastic read brimming with great and bizarre ideas, from Puppet Show ("all about puppetry") to Salon ("You play as an upscale hair-stylist who has just opened a new salon in a trendy part of town").
For each, he provides information on High Concept, Platform, Why It Needs to Be Made, a Description, Why It Will Be Fun, and a few Final Thoughts. A tremendous resource and a valuable exercise for anyone interested in the design side of computer gaming.
