At this point, genuinely wondering when people are going to start suing over not being reported as being in the Epstein files on the grounds that they are totally important enough to have been invited and that implying otherwise is libel.

Monika is... disturbingly fun to write. The scary thing about her dialogue is that there are bits that I cut out for going too far.

Wake up. Eat curry and wash it down with coffee. Head to school. Study. Develop social links. Face off against personified representations of humanity’s shared consciousness. Hire maid. Homework and/or bath. Bed. Dream of rehabilitation. Kill false god. Ace exams. Date everyone. Buy gun. Repeat.

Starfleet Academy continues to be fine. So much unnecessary hateblather.

A Truth X Doubt Y Lie

I did a keynote thing! Back in November, the folks at @adventurex.bsky.social kindly invited me to speak to a rowdy and welcoming crowd of game devs, which I did, and now there's video proof! The topic: IMPOSTOR SYNDROME Thanks again. It was a blast. Can't wait to see y'all again in November :-)

VSCode: A mountain of finnicky and annoying bug fixing. Cat: A small cuddly animal that makes nice noises when I stroke his warm fur. This is not a fair contest, work ethic.

That deep sigh of relief when the statistics system you spent *a fricking long time on* seems to be working.

I can't help but second this: Database functions in Ink are great ❤

Database functions in Ink are *incredibly* useful. Since we're doing show and tell, this is how I handle things like random encounters and bar conversations, as well as the more general 'databases' that are mostly to make it easier to pull stuff into Godot for UI display purposes.

Made a game called Pillow. Can’t believe people just slept on it.

Watching the latest episode of Fallout, idly wondering if Clancy Brown ever has trouble when people are just “Sorry, but literally every other thing I’ve ever watched has made it clear that I would be a moron to trust you.”

And now, the Earth Must Die Bit That I Played In The Demo speedrun!

Can’t believe there haven’t been any major updates since 4.6 came out. Dying project, obviously…

Wonder if the people complaining about He-Man’s pronouns are currently furious at Yoshi.

Ambientpunk is one of my favourite dumb gags in Nighthawks. Vampires can’t be recorded but one very enterprising one decided to monetise that by selling albums of people enjoying listening to her singing, with the idea that you absorb the experience and imagine what it WOULD have been like to hear.

Being a writer is starting an update with "I don't really have anything to talk about" and then writing more than 2000 words about writing in-game news stories that nobody will read. www.kickstarter.com/projects/753...

Would I Lie To You? Not usually, but maybe tonight, when I appear on popular BBC panel show Am I Lying To You Or Am I Telling The Truth? 8.30pm BBC One.

Okay, so, it's 3AM. Might have spent just a tiny bit longer than intended playing/finishing @inkle.co's TR-49.

"Abbi. Try something. Something obvious." "Okay." (click click click) "...this is going to be a long game, isn't it?"

The demo was really fun!

EARTH MUST DIE inexorably approaches, like an alien tyrant grumpily walking down a corridor! Tuesday 27th January, only a week away! "Wishlist it," whispers the nursing bot of your mind. "Wishliiiiiist!" store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

New Substage feature! Instant Actions: the most common commands now skip the AI step entirely, making them suuuper snappy. It feels amazing for these common use cases. The video below is real-time - no editing or speedup. More in my little blog post 👉 joethephish.me/blog/substag...

Unexpectantly pleasantly surprised by the first two episodes of Starfleet Academy. Particularly enjoy the way that Holly Hunter's Captain/Chancellor has enough cat DNA to sit comfortably on her chair. Semi-related, Gabrielle Ruiz could totally pull off live-action T'Lyn and should be phoned at once.

Surprised that the Jem’Hadar drill sergeant lady in Starfleet Academy managed to go five seconds without deploying “WHAT’S FLOWING THOUGH YOUR VEINS CADET, KETRACEL *SHITE*?”

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

@bvigeant.bsky.social Sigh. Finish listening to the QFG3 podcast, Spotify rolls over to @martijnfrazer.bsky.social-

Idly pondering that if I was God, I would introduce a very specific form of reincarnation in which everyone comes back for a round as their own pets. It’s the perfect reward or punishment, as appropriate.

HEY HEY it's NEWS 'O CLOCK. 'EARTH MUST DIE' is coming out on the 27th of Jan, which is alarmingly soon! Please pop over here and wishlist it, and do share if you're able. Thank you. store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

Writing dialogue in ink? Have a look: wildwinter.medium.com/dink-a-dialo...

Hire Sally, particularly to be evil. (nods)

Oh, this look amazing! store.steampowered.com/app/4285930/... Not only it's a RPG set in modern-day India, exploring their folklore & myths, it's also made by a team of Indians who have a channel of animated videos on Asian history: www.youtube.com/channel/UCpZ...

Absolutely loving this series of Fallout. So cool to see how well they recreated New Vegas scenes, even if I do wish it was a bit more populated.

Let's make 2026 the year we induct Caper in the Castro (1989) into the Video Game Hall of Fame.

WOW! Rosewater has been nominated for 5 AGOTY Awards! Best Screenplay Best Soundtrack, Sound Effects and Dubbing Best Visual Art & Animations Best Character (Harley Leger) Best Adventure Game of the Year Thanks so much @agotyawards.bsky.social, this is a huge honor!

“What does the machine want?” “I think it wants… to tell Americans how to pronounce ‘Cecil’…”

Hey, if you've got a demo going into Steam's Detective Fest on Monday, email me at [email protected] and I'll include a bunch in a post once it all goes live.

📢 Folks, we’re thrilled to announce our new game: Hocus Focus! A cozy gamified focus tool to help you work, study, or relax to soothing tunes. Check out the trailer 👇 Wishlist link and more info in replies!

@bvigeant.bsky.social "I want more Tex Murphy games!" Well, sir, you need to play Conspiracies. Ideally without seeing any of it...

ME: It'd be nice to have someone to cuddle when watching TV. CAT: Hey, I'm sitting RIGHT HERE. ME: Someone who actually watches the show, I mean. CAT: Don't blame me for your poor taste in entertainment... ME: And who doesn't randomly vomit on the floor mid-episode. CAT: Okay, that one's fair.
