Another great Develop Brighton done and dusted! 😀 Played loads of great indie games at @brilliantindietreasures.com and the indie game area of the expo, attended some great talks and had lovely conversations with old and new faces!

Just finalized everything for the live Mike and @ramiismail.com pod tomorrow. It’s… gonna be a thing! If you’re at @developconference.com, you should come watch! Thursday, Room 1, 12.15pm

Earth Must Die isn't on sale any more but it's still an UTTER bargain and I found another nice review, thanks to a sale round-up post: "packed with dry observations, absurd escalations, and the occasional line that lands with the quiet confidence of a joke that knows exactly what it’s doing" [1/2]

PSA; we have aircon this year! It’s a different venue! Come on down on Wednesday at 4pm - Tickets are £4 on the door!

This is a great start! Really grateful to everyone who has shown their support. Excited to share the rest of this journey with you.

One more push on these before I head to Brighton… the nice round number is in sight people, wishlists and retweets appreciated.

Panel Announcement! If you're coming to our Social Mobility in Games Conference tomorrow, you're in for a treat with these two incredible talks 🥳 Free Tickets available 👉 https://luma.com/m4nwgxac

How much do video games ACTUALLY sell in 2026? I've launched a bunch of them this year, so let's find out mikeandrami.com

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

I'll be attending Develop Brighton again on Wednesday and Thursday! Looking forward to playing many indie games at @brilliantindietreasures.com and the Expo, seeing @mikerose.bsky.social and @ramiismail.com Are Still Here (LIVE!), attending talks, industry gatherings and catching up with everyone! ⛱️

Wishing my former colleagues at Ninja Theory a lot of strength in these trying times! ❤️

Imagine owning Double Fine and even *considering* closing it. The history of Double Fine is the history of the games industry itself. This is a crime.
