I'm glad you found us here. I should've posted a comment on your blog.

Anyway, I wonder if you might be able to give us some insight as a game designer as to what goes into creating a game. Do you start with a theme? Mechanics? A particular goal (like the one you've set out here to create a thousand year game)?

If you go to the update posts (there's one for each month), he lists the submissions he's received so far.

Do you have a link to even one of these? I tried looking for these and couldn't find one...

I assume it would be cheating to create a game that takes a thousand years to play? :)

I initially thought that it would be a game that took a thousand years to make :)

You can, but I can't guarantee we'll be able to finish playing it. ;)
