TFW you accidentally fire up Chzo Mythos instead…

Any boosts appreciated! In mid-May I’m going to be moving halfway across the world to Australia, and while I’ll still be able to work down there, any in-studio stuff will get trickier! So let’s work together before then :)

Also great, dismissing the shitty old 'you can't con an honest man' cliche, as if there aren't a billion grifts reliant on that.

Here is Risen.

Posting a beta update with a new feature and trying to think of a way of explaining that yes, this is actually a response to requests, and no, not the world's Most Boring April Fool Joke Ever...

Too busy to do a hilarious April Fool joke, but idly remembering that I did have one fun idea for a Nighthawks one where you fired it up and were given the option to play in Realism Mode, which consisted of a small and very boring mini story set in an office because vampires don’t exist.

Idly wondering if a Carry On movie directed by David Cronenberg would be bawdy-horror.

The fact that NOBODY was talking about it aside, I have a real soft spot for Realms of the Haunting…

“Uh, Melinoe? That’s not what they mean by reveal trailer.”

The time has come… for a new version of my Interactive (aka Gaming) Demo! Whether you need a time traveling warrior, a plucky pilot, a burly brawler, a seductive sorcerer, a battle-hardened commander, a drunken dwarf, or someone who can voice 12 different NPCs in your game, I’m your gal!

Watching the new episode of Daredevil and finding it funnier and funnier that he has a big DD logo on his chest. “Sir, we just got attacked by a vigilante ninja dressed as the devil.” “Who was it?” “Unconfirmed. We need more data.”

The Doom novels need a big budget TV adaptation, with the proviso that they aren't allowed to change ANYTHING. That includes the demons being aliens, the aliens being called the Fred, and the keep-politics-out-of-games treasure that is the Mormons being the main defensive force against them.

Apropos of nothing in particular, Discworld is great.

This was SUCH a fun time. Ben and Jess are wonderful hosts and the two hours just flew by. We chat about the early days of the AGS community, my shifting to (and from) the casual games space, the hell of getting Primordia through Greenlight, and why writing a time travel game will break your brain.

This week on Quest Quest: The Adventure Game Podcast, @bvigeant.bsky.social and I are joined by Dave Gilbert of @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social! We're taking a look back at 20 years of Wadjet Eye Games, from its humble beginnings through what's coming up next. Give it a listen: zencastr.com/z/8TI_Kawh

I'm not saying my game Nighthawks is a bit weird, but there's a part where the main character watches a new vampire themed police procedural called 'DracuLAPD'.

Needs more retro games. Everyone loves good Sprite-work.

It's been offline for a couple of months due to hosting issues, but the Video Game Soda Machine Project archive is back online again. If you've ever wanted to browse through more than 3,000 screenshots of soda machines from video games dating back as far as 1983, this is the site for you.

The problem with watching The Amazing Digital Circus in the UK is that it is impossible to take a potentially sinister company called C&A seriously. Oh no, Caine is out of control! He may force you to buy affordable sweaters! youtu.be/HSOetP6C49E?...

Only *63 hours left* to play our steam demo & back All Will Rise - our game of card-based social combat, revenge on billionaires + dead river gods. We don’t think there’s anything like it out there! We need your support to make something new & gloriously weird 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

I refuse to play Death Stranding games. Binky would NEVER. He is a Good Horse.

The Steam Spring Sale has BEGUN! Nab all our games from up to 70% off until March 26th! store.steampowered.com/developer/Wa...

DLSS 5 off, DLSS 5 on... I knew I'd seen this technology in the Fallout TV show!

(sighs) "It's another Skunny day."

Another day, another chance to share my favourite ever example of overwriting... www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1So...

I’ve been nominated for Best Voice Performance for Fia in Old Skies! yetanothergameawards.com

The winners are decided by AUDIENCE VOTE, so if you liked the game please click on the link below and tick on our game. You can also tick on the game if you didn't like it. Nobody will know.

ME: "Cat, I have looked after you for about 13 years. In all that time, I have never hurt you, shouted at you, or even teased you. You spend every night asleep next to me in bed, and casually claw my shoulder when you want food with no concern." CAT: (cowering in corner) "BUT YOU JUST COUGHED!"

I don’t get the complaints. DLSS 5 looks like a million bucks. Probably two million by 2028…

This is a great game that does not deserve to suffer from bad, or even mediocre sales.

It's my birthday today and well, it's been a tough few years. I made a video a while ago on an obscure 90s software which took a lot out of me to finish. If you want you watch and leave a like? It ain't a great video, but completing it was important to keep me going through a tough time.

Trello: Your custom actions budget is out Well, if your internal teams would budget the development of things as simple as 'always display this column in the order I want', we wouldn't have a problem, hmm?

Preparing to do a sound effects blitz on a vampire game.

The demo worked very well streaming to an Android tablet FWIW, although I realise very few people will play it that way. It's very much the kind of thing I'd play handheld for preference, so I'm taking that as a win. Well, for me at any rate. Also because I was on my tablet I made this😏

There's a lot to recommend here if you've not tried it yet - demo on Steam if you feel like giving it a whirl.

Slapped a discount on. Will do a proper post about it but felt between this being a year later from release and missing my homeland a fair bit. Have 25% off and enjoy a queer as fuck game with a very tired and bothered Norn Iron woman dealing with furries. store.steampowered.com/app/1886910/...

I wonder if Vvalak prefers Ironclad, Silent, Necro- no, obviously, he's the Regent.

Mars Vice is glad to be included in the Games from Ireland event on Steam! While set on our red cousin, a bit of green comes from our co-protagonist, Anaya, coming from the North before traveling to strange places and having to just cope. Have a gander! store.steampowered.com/sale/Gamesfr...

I hate to beg, but the truth is any hope of me finishing my next game depends on sales of my previous ones, and Rosewater could use a lot more. Get it for 25% until March 26th.

Just some appreciation for what an amazing job @thomasregin.bsky.social did on the Old Skies OST.

The trick to selling indie games on Steam is to set your price at $1m. You might not sell many, but you only have to sell *one!*

Cos graph is going up, right? So it must be good! But hang on... it says "5,863 games". It does *not* say, "5,863 games that launched in 2025". So what it's actually saying, is that of the nearly 150,000 games available on Steam, 5,863 of them (4% of them) made $100k in revenue in 2025.

Trying to explain to my beloved feline companion that my patience and affection for him is, occasionally, the only thing separating ‘jumping hard onto a traditionally very sensitive part of male human anatomy’ and ‘dining on cat pie’.

Seems like a great argument for reducing their cut under a certain amount…

"Now featuring bonus content "The Elexis Files", in which you play as Elexis Sinclaire as she tries to persuade the sceptical SiNTek board of the financial benefit of turning great swathes of the population into mutant boss monsters. Finally, an FPS game with an agenda! And comprehensive minutes!"

Eh, you can complete it in three hours. No value for money…

Old Skies has won TWO Adventure Game Hotshot awards, in the categories of “Best Story” and “Best Sci Fi”. Thank you so much, @aghotspot.bsky.social!

Folks have been testing the first chapter of Gilt this week. Lots of really great feedback. I added a couple of scenes, too. Here’s one I painted on Wednesday. I’m so happy to see people really connecting with the project and enjoying my strange ideas.
