Sluggish Morss: Pattern Circus intertwines eight strange alien tales

By • 9 months ago

Jack King-Spooner's games are fascinating worlds to explore. Constructs of collage and clay, mixed media and minigames. Dream-like and melancholic tales both small and personal (Beeswing, Dujanah) or broadly philosophical as in his strange sci-fi Sluggish Morss series. For his next, he's aiming a little higher and turning to Kickstarter to fund development of Sluggish Morss: Pattern Circus, an action-adventure set in a strange alien…

Caledonian Antisyzygy: Beeswing Is Now Available

By • 5 years ago • 22

I haven't been back to Scotland, my motherland, for a long time. Beeswing is a game about small-town Scotland released a few days ago. It is written in snippets of philosophy and folklore. It is told through hand-drawn maps and gentle guitar strokes. It is Final Fantasy on a small scale, in the spirit of Yumei Nikki, hand-illustrated and studded with the kind of Scottish…

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

By • 5 years ago • 102

Dear Rock, Paper, Shotgun, I miss your smile. I miss your comments on my previews wondering how much sugar I have consumed to write it and what the heck kind of quirky BS is this and whether I will or will not ever get around to writing about triple A video games for you. But I come to you today to ask you about yourself.…

On Beeswing, Joy In Death, And The ‘Grandma Money Shot’

By • 6 years ago • 16

Beeswing is a peculiar game. It's a Zelda and Earthbound-inspired RPG without combat, a personal game that's absolutely not about its creator, and a rumination on the nature of death that's not swollen with tearful woe. Also, it's made out of paint and clay and stuff. The successfully funded (though still on Kickstarter for about five more seconds) project from Sluggish Morss, Blues For Mittavinda, and Will You…

Beeswing Is A Handcrafted, Earthbound-Inspired Mini-Epic

By • 6 years ago • 5

Although maybe un-epic would be a better descriptor. Beeswing is the latest labor of love and ceaselessly wonderful oddity from gaming's most thoughtful madman, Jack King-Spooner. Previously, his mighty brain egg hatched to unleash the likes of Sluggish Morss, Blues For Mittavinda, Will You Ever Return, and a portion of Experiment 12 upon an unsuspecting populace. I honestly do not believe there's anyone else out…
