The speech I’m interested more will be tomorrow, by Brian Moriarty, the designer of “Loom”:
Brian Moriarty (Wishbringer, Trinity, Loom) recounts the strange, convoluted and often hilarious story of how an unabridged video of his 2002 Game Developer’s Conference lecture ‘The Secret of Psalm 46’ became the ultimate Easter egg in Jonathan Blow’s acclaimed puzzle-adventure game The Witness (2016). It provides unique insight into the mystery of creative passion, and serves as a dramatic demonstration of the artistic influence game designers can exert on future generations.
I didn’t know about this connection between Moriarty and “The Witness”.
