Cross pollination
6 November 2009Over at I Fly by Night, a blog written by Clash Bowley of Flying Mice Games and all-round cool guy, Clash has some great notes about adapting a Diaspora-like system to his StarCluster game and getting some nifty results out of it. I love this kind of hybridization, obviously, and as evidence I present Diaspora itself which has clear roots in at least two games. So I just wanted to flag this for everyone’s attention because Clash and I don’t travel in similar circles electronically. Or at least until now I wouldn’t have guessed it was so. Now I’m wondering if he has a Wave account because there’s some Diaspora action there that he might be keen on….

Brad is one author of Diaspora and is keenly interested in interesting things. The writing here, consequently, might vary widely as his focus flits from shiny to shiny.
A latecomer to VSCA, JB works as a systems administrator to support his severe bicycle-riding addiction. Designing games is an outgrowth of his inability to let well enough alone.
