So why is it called 'The Trove'?

I'm usually not great at coming up with names for projects/accounts/social media pages - almost all of my others were named by someone else! For this though, I knew I needed one word, a word that was simple and memorable, but also unique and meaningful. 'Trove' checks all of those boxes, and connotes the idea of hidden treasures, which I think perfectly suits the premise of covering indie games - they might not be the most obscure ones ever, but hopefully this blog will showcase and highlight some of the amazing things to be found in games that might not get as much attention!

What kind of articles do I post?

Essays! Not just game reviews, not just opinion pieces, but proper articles with theses - there's no point in writing bog-standard 'game good because xyz' articles when its been done a million times already. Hopefully this blog succeeds in bringing more complex and nuanced discussions about the finer points of these brilliant, underrated videogames.

Its vital to me that these aren't bland, simplistic articles that lack substance, but I'm also conscious about sounding too academic/dense for my audience, so I'm aiming for 1000 words maximum on all of my articles (but if I use fancy words you don't know, look them up in a dictionary!)

No, the games I write about aren't neccessarily the most obscure ones ever (I'm aiming for more well known ones to begin with anyways), and no, not every essay will be absolutely mind-blowing, but that leads into my next question...

What makes this blog unique?

I'm a historian, and even in Public History I don't see videogames discussed much! Books, Radio, Film & TV, they all have decades of well-established historiography and respect as mediums of literature, art and even education - but videogames? Not so much...

With this in mind, I want to use the transferable skills I've garnered at university to bring more in-depth debate and analysis to videogames than you typically see online! This isn't a history blog, but maybe I could sneak in one or two posts about the historicality of certain games...

In any case, my endeavour is bring about nuance and complexity, but with a fun and stylish writing style!

That's all for now!

Perhaps I'll update this and turn it into some kind of FAQs...otherwise, please follow and share this blog, I would love to see engagement grow!

Thank you for reading =D
