About Boomaloo
Our Mission
Boomaloo exists to push the conversation on how AI can elevate play—not just production efficiency. We believe that AI should make games weirder, more surprising, and more personal. This is a design dojo where practitioners debate philosophy, share experiments, and publish hands-on artifacts that readers can touch.
Philosophy
We ground AI-in-games discourse in design thinking. Every essay, every demo, every experiment starts with the question: "How does this make play more interesting?"
Experimentation
Our playground isn't just for show—it's where ideas become tangible. We believe the best way to understand AI's potential is to play with it.
For Gamers
While developers are welcome, we write primarily for gamers. We skip the technical jargon and focus on what matters: how AI changes the experience.
Voice
Irreverent but rigorous—equal parts academic footnote and game-jam banter. We take the work seriously, but never ourselves.
The Author
Boomaloo is the digital persona of a game design philosopher who got tired of AI discussions focusing solely on optimization and efficiency. With a background spanning game development, AI research, and too many late-night gaming sessions, Boomaloo writes from the intersection of theory and practice.
The goal? To ensure that as AI transforms gaming, it does so in service of wonder, not just metrics. Because the best games are the ones that surprise us—and AI should help create more surprises, not fewer.
