De a poquito estoy subiendo notas viejas, editadas y (espero) mejoradas. Nunca estuve satisfecho con esta de #Hitman2, pero después de borrarle 5000 caracteres y sumarle 8000 más, refleja lo que siento sobre el mejor juego de la generación: ignacioesains.com/post/análisis-…
#HypnospaceOutlaw acaba de salir en Nintendo Switch, y hay una versión actualizada en Steam. Ni idea qué cambiará, pero el juego original para mí ya era brillante. Acá va mi análisis, con un par de reflexiones sobre la era #Geocities. ignacioesains.com/post/análisis-…

Back in 1996, french singer Etienne Daho had an usual idea : to include a video game in his new CD album "Eden". Yep, you guessed it : here comes a twitter thread ! 
The CD was split in two partitions, one for the music, one for the game. This was called an “extra cd” or “enhanced cd”.

A screenshotable moment is a standalone piece of text that's particularly evocative, funny, or horrifying - the key factors being that the line and/or choice has easily parsed context, and is compelling to share.
Just to use a recent example, Yakuza 0 is full of these.

I am all for simply telling a story as well as you can, but what a screenshotable moment does is inherently *present* that story in a compelling, visual way that text-based games don't usually accommodate.
It's like a billboard ad for your game, within your own game!
