Back to collectionCreative Lineage, Then a Question About Digital Identity
During a week of tighter spending and revised development schedules, the studio still had to explain to its community why it made games. The first official post read less like an announcement than an essay. The essay put the studio’s creative motives before players; the later post carried the conversation from works of art to identity and data.

During a week of tighter spending and revised development schedules, the studio still had to explain to its community why it made games. By day, the subject was how creators inspire one another. Late at night, the studio had a public discussion about digital identity to announce.
The first official post read less like an announcement than an essay. It began with the older man whose puppets had become part of a generation’s memory, then asked how one creator’s work can ignite another’s and who had first drawn each person in the studio into the craft. Late that night came a second, more practical post: another co-founder would speak at the Consensus conference the next day about self-sovereign data and online identity, asking whether they offered a workable answer or a mirage.
The essay put the studio’s creative motives before players; the later post carried the conversation from works of art to identity and data. Neither offered a shortcut through the development work under way. The community could take those questions into the next day’s discussion. No one yet knew how the roundtable would answer them.
