This blog is a couple of guys (herein referred to as “us” or “we”) trying to figure out what we are thinking. We are thinking, in general, about the ultimate computer game, simulation system, and mental framework. This nebulous entity, we have named Fledgeling.
The content is mostly targeted to “gamers” (herein referred to as “you”), that nebulous group who learn well with games, and see the world through the lens of play. We, as fellow gamers from our youth, and self-styled philosophers of gaming, here struggle with things too wonderful for us, which we do not know. In so doing, we hope to help you think more clearly, broadly, deeply, and wildly on the topics of games, computing, software, knowledge, life, and all of existence seen and unseen.
It has been an invigorating experience, both to loose ourselves among the speculations required to reach any insights herein contained and to return, bound once again, to the surface and the piercing light. We hope to share with you some of the wonder and promise afforded by the things we have discovered, and hope you will be glad to share your treasures with us as well.
To supplement such grand speculations, you may find here some text and occasional audio or visual data; All are attempts at communication. Good luck, Godspeed, and– what’s that behind you?
Just getting started. Do you have a small working model yet?
Sadly, no. We’ve got a few prototypes of individual systems, but none of them are in a presentable state. I’ll look into getting some of those polished up and released.
