Davey WredenMy favorite video game of all time, bar none. Created by Davey Wreden
The game broadly comments on the relationship between creators and consumers, and it can apply to all forms of art
- Perhaps also an important commentary on parasocial relationships
Important analyses:
- Art for No One
- The Artist is Absent: Davey Wreden and The Beginner's Guide
- Errant Signal - The Beginner's Guide (Spoilers)
- Davey Wreden's reflections after replaying it for the first time since finishing it, almost a decade ago
- I'm overall happy to hear he's in a different place from when he made the game. There's a part of me that wonders what if we'd gotten more games like TBG, but it may have detracted from the brilliance of TBG, and I don't want him to have to be a tortured artist for our pleasure
