Submissions to Tec de Monterrey - CADI Game Poems 2026

I recently led a game poems workshop in Mexico for folks from various backgrounds, most of whom had never made a game before. Everyone made two tiny game poems in four days--one using Flickgame, and one using Bitsy. Check out the beautiful results here: itch.io/jam/cadi-gam...

Game Poems #1 came out earlier this month, with a small piece of mine and truly engrossing work from my co-contributors! @jordanmagnuson.bsky.social and the Game Poems team are thoughtful editors and curators, and I'm very impressed with the care they've taken in assembling the issue.
