Oops, I've been so busy that I forgot about the 4-year Anniversary of Taiji! In any case, there will be a sale tomorrow instead of today (if you had been waiting for that). store.steampowered.com/app/1…

Reminder, this Saturday at 2PM EST (8PM CET), Part 2 of The Compass will premiere live on YouTube. This part is 90 minutes, so a bit longer than the first part, but hopefully you will find it worth it! (link in reply)

This will probably be of interest to anyone who is a fan of Taiji (and particularly of the music!)

Tomorrow at 2PM EDT, I'll be premiering a new lecture "What is a Witness-like", which serves as an analysis of The Witness, as well as discussion about the broader genre of games like it. The talk is pre-recorded, but I will take questions live after. youtu.be/lLFCtg4DqrE
