It's @globalgamejam.bsky.social weekend and I'm learning how to make pixel art :D #ggjjp

The other day we went to learn all about stars and the solar system with Pikachu

What was your #childhoodcinema? Central Cinema, in Barnstaple. This is the oldest picture on Google maps, from 2009, back in the days of Orange Wednesdays when I used to go every week with my friend for £3 each

I've been having a bit of a creative block recently, so I set myself a little challenge over the next few days to make some procedurally generated bookcases

We’ve spent Christmas Day in snowy parks and the Sapporo Beer Museum. Not our average Christmas, but a very fun one nonetheless! みなさん メリークリスマス!! 🎄

Christmas Eve wouldn’t be Christmas Eve without Muppets Christmas Carol 🎄

We have gone to Hokkaido to ensure we have a White Christmas and today we climbed a very big hill

Tiny Chef’s cover of I Want It That Way made it onto my YouTube Wrapped. I just love him. youtu.be/TaX7B1CLVaA?...

For material artists and Venice lovers: there's a lovely Instagram account that collects venetian walls 👇https://www.instagram.com/walls_of_venice/

The theme for the current #Alakajam is Under the Surface, so I had an idea for a little game where you're in a submarine clearing up rubbish. Who knows what else you might find amongst the litter?

succubus - female demon that seduces men incubus - male demon that seduces women vengabus - non-binary demon that likes to party

We went to the Showa Kinen Park this week to see their lovely autumn illuminations

I hope that Adam Ellis keeps making spooky books for the entirety of Wuthering Heights’ lyrics

Almost 200 pages of game dev resources including: 🧑‍🏫 pitch decks 📢 marketing 🎨 art assets 🖥️ programming tools 🗣️ conference talks 🔎 job searching/careers 💰funds and more! 👾

We went to the Tokyo Game Show a couple of weeks ago, and it was just so big and loud and incredibly fun 🤩

Gonna try and do some of @vfxapprentice.bsky.social's #flipbooktober2025 this month. I'm not very good at flipbook animations, so this will be great practice! Day One is Swoosh

Today we went to the Nintendo Museum! It was so much fun, we were pretty awful at playing games with giant controllers, but the history of Nintendo exhibition and the concept art gallery were incredibly interesting

We’re at a ぼん おどり まつり and it’s all very lovely and everyone is dancing to Japanese songs and then…

29 years ago today, Jamiroquai released the music video for 'Virtual Insanity'

I recently took part in @gamemakerstoolkit.com Game Jam, my game was broken at the end of the jam, but I had a little time this weekend to fix it! The theme was "loop" and as I had recently watched The Edge of Tomorrow, I was inspired to make a time loop game ⌛ alittleredpanda.itch.io/time-loop

It’s weird walking around shops insisting that autumn is upon us and it’s Halloween time. And it’s still 33°C outside.

Went to the Tove Jansson and the Moomims exhibition this week, which was so good. There were so many sketches and comics of them all

Some fun games from today at BitSummit: A Tiny Wander (a mysterious exploration puzzle game), Sea Fantasy (a fishing rpg), Moonlight Peaks (animal crossing with vampires, may have been made specifically for me?) and Snow Cone (a sliding snow cone puzzle game)

In Kyoto for Bit Summit this weekend and it is SUNNY

Recently Jim and I celebrated ten years together, and we spent a couple of days in Kamakura

French cigarette style cards showcasing the theatrical practical special effects work of early cinema. 1908.

Found a great way to pick what football team to support in Japan… let the gacha choose! (It chose Nagoya Grampus 🐋 )

The closest thing to a sausage roll I’ve had since I left the UK 😭

Just backed this, it's sooo pretty! 😍

we used to be a country. a proper country.

"If you inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature?" I call it the bisexual awakening double feature.

Sooo much more anime on Japanese Netflix.... but most of them without English subtitles 😭

When I was at uni I made most of a little puzzle game, which I never finished. Maybe I should finish it now...

TIL about a free alternative to designer called Material Maker, and I spent some time this afternoon trying it out, and trying to remember how to make node based materials. I attempted to make an overgrown window for #Mayterials

We’ve gone to an Oktoberfest and I am attempting to eat currywurst dirty fries with chopsticks. Also Sweet Caroline came on the loud speakers and no one did the “BAM BA BAM” 😢

So my laptop has arrived and after an hour of Microsoft updating, it has somehow locked me out of the computer and won’t let me log in. Good job Microsoft 👍🏻

I *think* I’ve worked out how to get a parcel delivered to my flat. Hopes and prayers my laptop arrives 🙏

Need to improve the graphics… draw distance is too low

Some lovely cherry blossoms we saw recently 🌸

Four illustrations by Sheilah Beckett (1913-2013) for “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” (1954).

Absolutely obsessed with the adventures of the Japanese Ambassador to the UK who took Paddington to see all the sights around Japan 😍

Trigger warning.

All my online meetings will now take place in Game Chat, in Mario Kart

We’re in a restaurant that has the very niche playlist of “soft electronic covers of songs already containing samples” like Flowers and I’m Good And I’m Feeling Alright. Also the food was banging and this is the view, so a perfect restaurant really 💯

This is it. We’re up at stupid o’clock, checked in for our flights and ready to go. I’m going to miss all my friends more than I can put into words, but we are beyond excited for the next chapter in our lives as we move to Tokyo

I'm moving away next week! And I'm having a Maraoke Party on Friday! And I'm only having a small panic! If you're in Bristol, and I know you irl, dm me and I'll send the details (of the party) and we can all sing songs about video games together ✨
