Did you know that Plok, star of the cult classic 1994 Super Nintendo game, has his own comic? Written and drawn by my brother and I, the original creators of the game, the first five volumes, and a colouring book, are available now in print or ebook.

“I’m very adept at covert policing, which is why I pounced on Reece for saying something he didn’t actually say and picked one of the three remaining Traitors to confide in”

Everyone at breakfast in The Traitors is talking dead loud, but as if nobody can hear them. It’s really weird.

Calling all 6502/NES programmers! We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state. I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping?

Okay this is some strong as hell maths. Can't tell you how much buying the Size Five games helps me out. If you follow me but don't own these yet, please grab them now. It's the *actual best Christmas present* to help keep my weird little company afloat. Thank you.

Christmas is getting off to a cracking start today. A day off because work closes up for the Christmas break early, off into Manchester for drinks and food with both my daughters, then we’re watching It’s A Wonderful Life in the posh seats of the Everyman. And all that’s before Mad Friday kicks off!

So glad this has been recovered and getting seen. It was kind of legendary in parts of the UK gamedev community at the time. We all knew about it and commiserated that it wasn’t getting released.

In the 1970s, Mulholland Dr. between Laurel Cyn. & Coldwater Cyn. was the peak of illegal racing. Racers handed out this cheeky business card to lure Van Nuys cruisers up the hill to challenge them. The Valleyites, unversed in the road's nuances, often plunged over its cliffs.

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

I do love this poem. It’s perfect. But I feel for poor Nael. He’s written the best thing he’s ever going to write in his life, aged 6. It’s all downhill from here for Nael.
