Gladiators! Once again, Swords and Sandals Classic Collection is a featured Steam Daily Deal. There's never been a better time to play a game from 2006 (in gaming terms, basically older than the actual colosseum) store.steampowered.com/app/1055430/...

Time for the March game dev update from Lair of the Leviathan! Road testing the editor tools! New character art, tons of new props, NPC interactions, pathfinding and more... store.steampowered.com/news/app/275...

The indie game I am making and three of the inspirations behind it.

Greetings from the Lair! Let's take a deep dive into the powerful suite of editor tools we've created for our RPG Lair of the Leviathan. Everything from terrain and lights to encounter logic and more. store.steampowered.com/news/app/275... #gamedev #indiedev

News from Lair of the Leviathan! Join me as I regale you with what we achieved in 2025 and where our epic retro RPG is headed to for next year and beyond. store.steampowered.com/news/app/275...

Gladiators! Swords and Sandals 3 Redux is now on Google Play, so you can experience the glory of the arena wherever you are in the world. play.google.com/store/apps/d...

The single greatest Swords and Sandals video ever made just dropped. Absolute masterclass cinema comedy. youtu.be/C3calLMX3bY

Cheers for a century of reviews, gladiators. May fortune smile upon you in the arena, except for those who left a thumbs down, may you live a long life watching in fear from the arena stands. #gameDev

The duality of Steam, an emotional rollercoaster told in two reviews. #gameDev

Pro tip when you launch a game. You're gonna get *so many* key requests - ignore them all. Straight into the bin, report them as junk. They're 99.9999% scammers and key resellers. Any streamer/reviewer worth their salt will buy the game or be one that *you* contacted. #gameDev

The trumpets ring out, the arena gates open the heralds call your name. Destiny awaits, gladiator! (Actually releases later today, in my infinite wisdom I messed up my timing on these countdown pics)

As the hours dwindle, the pressure intensifies. The anticipation of battle and brimstone weighs heavy on the heart of every gladiator.

Gladiators from beyond the stars shall also join the battle, wielding powerful armour-shredding weapons on their way to glory and fortune.

There is courage and honour to be found amidst the horrors of the arenas ... small mercies shown, acts of generosity ... lives spared. The Gladiae Ultratus will reveal the true nature of the gladiator.

As the Gladiae Ultratus prepares to open its mighty gates, creatures with the blackest hearts in the realm also prepare their campaigns of reckless hate and death. ⚔️You are forewarned, the arena will not be merciful.

A throng of abominations now flock to the arena. Beast men from the deserts. Gelatinous cubes from towers of sorcery. Skeletons from beyond the grave... All yearning for the glory of gladiatorial combat!

Gladiators, the countdown begins! Dust off those old sandals, for the distant rumble of battle harkens. store.steampowered.com/app/2116620/...

Swords and Sandals III Redux is part of the October Steam Next Fest! Since 2006, the only game that allows you to fall asleep willingly in the middle of a battle, and proud of it. ( Also ... bloody hell, there are a lot of games in the festival this time round! ) #NextFest

The demo for Swords and Sandals III Redux will be unleashed upon the Steam Next Fest in mere hours... Prepare to unleash hell one more time, gladiator!

October updates from the Lair of the Leviathan, including NPCs in towns, customized armour, dungeon fog and a 'gather your party' screen. Long way to go yet but we're making vast strides on our classic Gold Box style RPG. store.steampowered.com/news/app/275...

I love to code to chiptunes or Adlib-era music, often soundtracks from old RPGs... it helps me feel like I'm out there questing. Just discovered this soundtrack from an obscure but amazing JRPG, Sorcerian, and every track is incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gm6... #gameDev

Each year we head to the beach after Xmas (southern hemisphere!) to recharge the spirit. Every time, I'm hit with a literal wave of inspiration - this time, the bones of the plot for Lair of the Leviathan came to me as I watched the waves crash over the rocks. #gameDev #indiedev
