Really intrigued by Erik Nitsche’s modernist style…<\/p>\n

\"Erik<\/p>\n

Of course, the theme has me thinking of John Cage and his peers.<\/p>\n

Meginnis’s “Navigators” suggests itself, too. What if we begin with an overpowered Monty Haul-campaign hero and in order to win, the player must leave behind precious items and take on burdensome handicaps until a minimalist nirvana is reached?<\/p>\n

People have complained about “minimalism” being an aesthetic, rather than a game theme. Who would deny that past LD results have–broadly speaking–badly needed some design sense? <\/p>\n

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.<\/strong> – Antoine de Saint Exup\u00e9ry<\/p>\n
