The perpetuation of AI hype and boosterism is predicated on easy compliance. Refusal -- individually and collectively -- matters.

Happy launch day @subvert.fm! Subvert is a music platform collectively owned and controlled by its community. Proud to be among its 22,000 co-op members. I'm yet to release any music, but watch this space!

Had so much fun playing the demo at NGP and can confirm it is A LOT less miserable

Alyx Jones's @alyxjones.bsky.social @silverscriptgames.bsky.social 'The Quiet Things' is an important story about trauma, abuse, survival, and giving survivors a voice. Here's the powerful trailer buff.ly/MpLn8V9

Composing horror music at 2am with foxes shrieking outside your window certainly is a vibe

I did a little trailer for my latest game demo with @tailoredsoundtracks.com and @annaandresactor.bsky.social #GameDev

Spruce Falls - Demo out now on itch.io! Act 1 of our David Lynch-themed diner-based murder mystery game is now live! @explod.es and @annaandresactor.bsky.social have been awesome to work with and I hope we can collab further in future!

Here's the first 60 seconds of our David Lynch-inspired murder mystery game, Spruce Falls! All of my music is written, most of environments and game mechanics are in. That leaves us about 2 weeks to finish implementing the story, the remaining models, and add some extra polish.

Even in a genre that’s become as saturated as the soulslike, there’s still nothing that hits quite like the Nioh series, and Nioh 3 stands out as the best of the trilogy. Our review: https://bit.ly/49YWAbd

Preview of the main menu music for Spruce Falls, our submission for a 2 month-long David Lynch-inspired game jam. Spruce Falls is a first-person murder mystery game set in a Pacific Northwest diner. A local journalist has been killed. By a falling tree.

PMG won the Knickerbocker Award for Best Games Journalism last night at the @nyvgcc.bsky.social! It feels like we've come such a long way since we first launched this thing nearly eight years ago, but winning a journalism award at an event in NEW YORK CITY still seems totally mad to me.

The actual expression I make when deciding where to place my skill points.

Major news time! I recently launched my music composition website, featuring some samples and a contact form for instrumentalists / vocalists / composers who might want to collaborate in future! Samples: tailoredsoundtracks.com Join my roster here: forms.gle/FKR5g1vBX5vc... Reposts appreciated :)

Here's a preview of my first completed video game soundtrack! The full OST includes 12 tracks including 5 distinct ending themes, each reflecting the consequences of the player’s actions. I'll post a link to the finished game when it's published :)

'Sounds Like Fate' - a track inspired by games like Destiny 2, Halo & Elite Dangerous. Probably some Game of Thrones and The Expanse in there too! 🪐 If you'd like me to compose something similar for your game, animation, or film project, drop me an email at [email protected]

Once again, 'make a quick video for socials' has snowballed into learning a new game engine. Enough, brain. Enough.

We're putting together our monthly newsletter! If you have January opportunities for writers, let us know - we're particularly interested in sharing opportunities for writers in the North of England, and for writers of speculative fiction.

I'm stunned that there hasn't been more chatter about Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon as we come into the end of the year? Someone that isn't Bethesda done did Their Own Full Elder Scroll, in the year of our lord 2025. I'd expect that to be a bigger deal!

Thank you to everyone who responded to the UK govt consultation earlier this year. It makes it very clear where the sentiment lies

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

Really hard to whittle down to 10... so I'll consider this a starter pack. *10 Games to Get to Know Me* Clockwise from top left: Elite Dangerous (2014) - My most played game for the last 11 years. 'It's not rocket science...' Morrowind (2002) - My first open world game. Got jumpscared by thunder.

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

"...or wherever you place your emphasis." I listen to so many podcasts that I must have heard every possible variation of this phrase. There's no one right way... but some sound more natural than others. If you still can't get this or any other sentence sounding right - give me a call! 😁

Jackie Hart: Headhunter will release on 24th October 2025. Wishlist today! store.steampowered.com/app/3509730/... #pointNclick #indiegames

Hi BlueSky friends! I need to be able to afford train tickets to visit my partner for his birthday next week, so until then, my commissions are £30 for a single character bust portrait! Send me your blorbos to draw!

When you try to start a light-hearted game in the family chat... ...but it gets marred by controversy.

Getting the help of the gods is never guaranteed, but a little contribution increases their benevolence. Jackie Hart: Headhunter coming to Steam this October store.steampowered.com/app/3509730/... Starring: @sarahmcmanusva.bsky.social @voicesbyandrew.com and Adam Diggle #screenshotsaturday

The vacation trick worked and I had a full day of directed sessions waiting for me after the conference. And to top it all off, I received this lovely review from one of the clients! 💙 Will share the project when I can!

Networking's never a chore when you're surrounded by people who truly care about what they're creating. Spent a wonderful whirlwind couple of days at Develop:Brighton last week listening to talks and panels, meeting loads of new contacts and bumping into existing ones.

Call for a voice actor! We’re looking to cast a female actress for our next game. Vocal age 25-35, Northern England accent, preferably Mancunian, incl. Pakistani and Indian Mancunian accents. That’s you? Then send a sample to [email protected], marked “casting call”. Paid gig, ofc <3 RTs!
