Just over a month ago I was invited to give a talk at the 2025 Nationalist Media Conference. I agreed to present a mid-mortem on Escape From Epstein Island, going into detail as to the triumphs and failures of development, what I would have done differently, etcetera.
Writing the talk took a distant second to actual game dev up until about a week ago, as the pre-conference deadline approached. Yet, despite having to take a break from development to write this talk, I felt it was a very productive week. They say that you don’t really understand something until you can explain it to others. I agree, and I might break various segments of the talk out into individual articles.
Also, as part of my presentation I hastily slapped together this trailer, which I enjoy far out of proportion to its quality.
While the conference itself is this Saturday, July 12th, the live presentations will be kept private. They will be uploaded to the Nationalist Media Conference Odysee channel, between a month or two after the event. I’ll write a more detailed article, or perhaps series of articles after the conference is released to the public.
Looks Ike Alex Linder closed his website, Kirksville Today. He’s done good work for decades. I’m surprised he isn’t keeping his site going. Perhaps he’s been compromised?
Shame. We had some disagreements, but I thought his heart was in the right place.
