Good board today! Lots of vowels. I learned this word at a party last night when I met someone who does it. Do reinsurers get insurance? What’s that called? www.playdwg.com #DWG28

NarraScope call for proposals is open! We're at the University at Albany, June 12-14. Now accepting: - Talks - The Showcase (games) - The Experience (new this year!) blog.zarfhome.com/2026/01/narr... narrascope.org

Damn I miss Dishonored.

Malazan made this pretty amusing

Happy birthday to meeee. How is it going to be 2026??

Managed to catch a little snow right before heading back to London

Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

Here’s a nostalgia photo for you

Lovely piece here about DWG from @electrondance.com!

I asked @will.bearwaves.com and @okw.bsky.social to take over the Bearwaves socials and they are having so much fun with it that I don't regret that decision one bit

Would love to see more coverage on how the recent industry turbulence has really sent us backwards in the diversity process we’d made in the years leading up to the layoffs. Whether forming new studios or hiring someone for the ultra competitive open roles, who do you think is getting tagged in?

Have always been drawn to aesthetic environments. Making my room a rainforest. Creating a box city for my beanie babies. Making a lore book for the universe in my head. Used to do loads of fashion design as well. Writing poems and stories.Then getting into renfaires and fantasy balls for immersion

Our very own Dave has set the challenge today - can you beat him at his own game? @bearwaves.com #indiegame #wordgame #indiedev #gamedev

Currently top of the leaderboard! Can you beat my score? #DWG

Dave's Word Game comes out tomorrow! This is very exciting for lots of reasons, but for me particularly it's exciting as the first game written in Growl, my game engine. Here's a writeup of what it was like building an engine from scratch and what I learned. www.joelotter.com/posts/2025/1...

Salon trip finished and hair ready for the hols

First book started post-Malazan

This was also apparently the year of all my fav music unexpectedly at the game awards apparently

MERCIFUL MOVE We're dropping DWG at the end of the year so it wouldn't sweep #TGA You're welcome 🤗 Coming MONDAY playdwg.com @bearwaves.com #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #goty

Gnawing at the bars of studios doing dark fantasy/sci-fi games enclosures hoping they’ll let me in

Dave’s Word Game works offline, so you can play it wherever you want! #DWG #Wordle #OfflineGames

Catching up on all the trailers and ahhhhh I hope I get the chance to work on some dark fantasy or sci-fi game someday

This is the last #wishlistwednesday you can pre-save Dave's Word Game at www.playdwg.com because it's OUT ON MONDAY!!!

It looks like @blackforestcult.bsky.social has expanded into sour territories

I wondered why we’d suddenly got so many hits on our App Store page - seems we’ve been added to the Coming Soon list 👀 If you haven’t preordered yet, it’s free and helps us with getting the algorithm to be nice to us! www.playdwg.com

“Bring knowledge and enthusiasm for horror to the project team” I know they mean the genre but my brain is having a field day with this job description

Fuck I love this music youtu.be/x73of7zn4pw?...

Basically a year long duel between Carp and Sleep Token

Wild(ly frustrating) time to be alive when the industry is lamenting difficulty getting vis/retaining players but only putting money into growth and performance marketing, gimmicks, AI etc knowing that everyone is sick of ads and craving authenticity, connection and quality experiences

🥵 There are 126,410,606,437,752 possible Dave’s Word Game boards. That's enough to have 70 unique boards per day until the sun burns out! www.playdwg.com on Dec 15th

Lots of friends I know are out of work. They are all super skilled, experienced, empathetic, hardworking, and have lots of titles to their names. They're people I would never ever think would have trouble finding work. The only thing separating the people working right now and those not is luck.

Does anyone have any good metal covers of Kpop demon hunter songs?

🏆 Here's the Dave's Word Game November Top 5. Congrats Jonno, you beat Dave at his own game! And a sincere thanks to all of our beta testers, not long until you'll be able to compete against the world. #DWG is out Dec 15th.

We’re two weeks out from release now so I wanna take a minute to shout out @absintheuse.bsky.social who did us a go-to-market plan for the game. None of us have a *clue* how to do any of this stuff and Haley’s guidance and patience with answering even the stupid questions has been so invaluable.

Have had a really bad week. Pls tell me something good from your week or something you’re looking forward to 🖤

Thanks @pocketgamercom.bsky.social for the kind words: "for those who enjoy not just showing off thesaurus-level knowledge, but also dunking on friends ... a great new addition to your catalogue." www.pocketgamer.com/daves-word-g...

Wreath making while watching the major

Started this morning by being so angry about the state of marketing in games that I think I just saw steam rise off me

New Carpenter Brut teaser, yes plz youtu.be/6UMjfDx3TwI?...

Today is a wonderful day for revenge

May now put Gardens of the Moon on display every time I go to a bookstore…

Time to do my Budapest pick ems and prepare my surprise pikachu face

Kept getting bored as a graphic designer. Edge posted a piece about working at Lionhead and suddenly it felt like there might be a way my skillset could fit in games. Moved to the UK and did a MA in games design

Who shall set a gift upon our altar today?

QUIT UR JOB Dave's Word Game out on 15th December @bearwaves.com #indiegames #wordle #wordgames #indiedev

A most divine discovery!

Post a female character you love

So immediately more-ish and instantly brought my competitive streak back out. Can’t wait for people to get their hands on this (but you have to score lower than me k thx bye)
