the blogs caretaker and feeder is petri purho, a 24 year old computer science engineer from helsinki. in his about himself bio area, petri explains:
The point of this blog is I try to crank out an experimental game every month. I was inspired by Experimental Gameplay Project, so I try to follow their rules. Basically this means that every game I create I have to make within 7-day limit, they have to made by me alone and they have to test some new form of gameplay.gah. mind is slowing....calcifying...brain...waves slowing dowwwwnnnnnn......i feel so old. really, petri—an experimental game every month? show off. but petri, you are so cool—you are my 10 year old's new superhero. i would immediately adopt you, myself. what a great mind you have!
i downloaded crayon physics immediately on my mac but couldn't get it to work and then headed over to the pc everyone in my family disdains, but is really pretty useful, especially in times like these. i managed to play a couple of rounds before the family, unused to seeing momma at the pc, came running over to see what she was doing. that was the end of the game for me. it captivated everyone in the family. its simply elegant. petri, let us know when that full version comes out. we will be purchasing this one.
i think you should look at making games for the ipod, too.
for the rest of you not familiar with petri's work, here is the game on youtube.

This guy has got some real talent...I like the idea of new game ideas. Something besides all these "shoot-em up" video games. Ok gotta go play Halo now. Nice find.
