To get to make your own RPG is one thing, but to get to make your own *RPG series* is something else. To every kind word, helping hand, and word of mouth recommendation - thank you all, sincerely. This has been a true privilege to get to work on. Can't wait for you to see what we've been cooking!

Big week ahead for us 👇

Polls show that Labour lost nearly a quarter of their voters between 2024>2026 to Greens, and that 1 in 5 of those who made that jump did so *primarily* because of Labour's declining stance on trans rights. As well as being morally reprehensible, supporting transphobia is a big vote loser for them!

this UK heatwave got me digging into my drawers to uncover ancient untouched shorts like John Wick unburying his gun stash

Mass Effect 1 fans be like 'this is why it's the best one'.

Enjoying the game Mixtape a bunch; a really confident and tightly edited example of one of these kinds of narrative games. A solid evening game. Anyway time to take a big swig of coffee and log on to check the current state of discourse around it

The Starmer Effect

[putting on my "big brain" hat] Star fox characters are meant to look kinda weird and uncanny because I'm pretty sure they're based on British marionette sci-fi shows like Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet

Scientists predict that at the current rate things are developing, we're going to experience the first "double Starfox 64 remake event" within three console generations

Had fun putting this together!

I have a fair few followers on here who are aspiring creatives in games/animation/comics etc. and maybe my biggest piece of advice to anyone wanting to one day work in these fields is to divest yourself from "fandom" as much as you can.

[viewing grainy Elden Ring movie set photos taken on an iPhone at max zoom from a mile away] hmmm... this doesn't look like the game at all. I don't think these bozos know what they're doing

Anyone know of any UK-based pixel art animators looking for freelance work this year? Asking on behalf of a friend's project!

[me watching "Avengers: Doomsday" in late 2026, budget of $1.5bn before marketing] this looks so cheap, this looks like an xbox 360 game, lmao [me watching John Woo blow up a whole hospital for 20 minutes straight in 1992's "Hard-Boiled"] this is surely the most expensive thing ever filmed by man

he's square

I like the implication that Angry Starmer is like a separate character variant, like Metal Mario

As I have just added @unfriendlyghost.bsky.social to the Brighton Games Industry Starter Pack, it is a good opportunity to remind you all of its existence. DM me to be added. And share around. bsky.app/starter-pack...

YOOOO check out this incredible cover of "Arrow of Time" by @jonnyatma.com and @laceyjohnsonmusic.bsky.social! As we approach the 3rd anniversary of Cassette Beasts' release, this is such an awesome surprise! 💜 (Spoiler warning for the end of the game!) youtu.be/46Em685H-Ng

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Was fun to talk about how Pokemon has irreversibly ruined my brain from a young age with @nintendolife.com!

Apropos of nothing, one of my favourite Cassette Beasts monsters I designed is Pombomb, illustrated here for our key art by @smaiart.bsky.social! It ended up as something of a mascot for the game.

Continuing to be absolutely floored by how @denizcamp.bsky.social's Ultimates comic series both understands, and rises to meet, the current moment. The unreality of the comic's own world as a mirror to our own - brand consumerism won't save you; better pick up a brick instead. It's fantastic.

"why are younger gamers disinterested in following premium console game releases like I was at their age" can be partly answered by the fact that if you were a PS2 owner in the 2000s you had 3-6 of the best games ever made come out annually, and since 2020 the PS5 has 3-4 big sequels and little else

If you're in game dev or tech there's many archetypes of Guy, but one of my least favourite is definitely "Guy who is good at programming and has tricked himself into thinking this makes him an Actual Scientist, and now posts regularly about how he uniquely understands the decline of society"

Spoken to a few people about this and there is absolutely *no-one* who feels like the PS5 has had a good run and on its way out. It feels like it's barely started - the entire generation has had less killer apps than the PS2 would get in a single year!

Game writers can't get enough of the word "corruption"
