The announcement trailer for No Law, the game I'm working with Neon Giant on, dropped last night. Very happy to share what this amazing - very small - team have been working away on since The Ascent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFoQ...

I zoomed in, added a bit of contrast, and went back and forth over the first few seconds to show how the ground around the vents bulges outward before the lava breaks through and blasts it apart. Remarkable stuff. Nature is neat. #Kilauea

I’ve broken my own rule of ignoring Christmas until after Bonfire Night, but in fairness, Amanda told me to brighten the dark corner in my office. (Print by the incredibly talented @bhaalspawn.bsky.social, buy her stuff!)

For the morning crowd (just). We’re looking to celebrate some of our older work, if you’d like to share it with your audience, we’d love to get you some keys.

but yeah please record some meetings and prototype footage, it’s really hard to get broll for that stuff. sometimes we need to use puppets.

If GenAI does finally get good, it’ll become insanely expensive as the investors who have poured billions in attempt to get some money back. Hopefully governments will have caught up by then and fix the copyright theft. And even then, the environmental impact still won’t make it worth it.

We announced our new game yesterday And people have been so nice about it thank you 😭💖 if you missed it a small Wishlist would go so far !!

Ripping it to pieces would be too easy, so here's 10 things that would've made it better: (light spoilers ahead)

Now season 1 has finished, I am left wondering if I watched a different show to the one the reviewers did. It was a relatively compelling sci-fi show. It was not a satisfying addition to the Alien franchise.

As a long standing invert-y person, this article makes me happy.

The biggest takeaway from Alien: Earth is that Noah Hawley really likes Goat Simulator. Tell me there’s an eyeball add-on skin pack coming for GS3 🙏🏼

Big skies!

One of my old colleagues at Splash Damage has just released a small indie multiplayer horror game - and it’s not even the price of a coffee! store.steampowered.com/app/3551100/...

Very happy to announce that we're working with Neon Giant to help them bring their next incredible game to release 😍

Great start to the insight into Machine Games, and fun seeing bits of Uppsala too - a place I’ve only just come back from as I’m working with Neon Giant for a while 😍

I gave up fighting it years ago and use Edge, but change the search engine to DuckDuckandGo. Which it feels like I have to do every week; despite setting it to the default it keeps changing back to bing 👀

Here it is! The first Gameplay Deep Dive for AETHUS! Allow me to introduce you to Trudy, your old manager and now contracting rep!😎 shorturl.at/nAjiI There's also a wee update on the recent publishing announcement as well, check it out! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #Gaming #IndieGames

Quick holiday trip to the zoo, but took my 17 year old Canon 450d out. The lens (a 28-135) has never been exactly crisp, but it’s strange how much I think I still prefer using a viewfinder to frame shots. Mild processing done in Apple Photos as Aperture no longer supported 😢

Great thread, thanks @danctheduck.bsky.social for dropping it into my timeline. Years ago EA stated they spent about 70% of a game’s budget on the first hour, because stats showed that’s all most people completed.

And here’s the kicker: the unexpected benefit of cheats was that all players, regardless of skill level, could experience every part of the game. Not fairly perhaps, but they could access all content even if not as intended.

Tim did it! He looked absolutely shattered at the end, and is now off for a well deserved sleep. If you can spare a fiver, Make A Wish will be eternally grateful 💙 tiltify.com/@tim-wood-th...

Tim's in the last few hours now and still short of the £1000 target - this man has been playing games live for 21 hours so far, please help him raise a bit more cash for a great cause

Tim’s about to start his 24 hour stream for charity - I’ll be joining him for a bit to play AvP2010 from noon today! It’s for the amazing Make A Wish charity, who are very close to my heart 💙

Working on placeholder assets, might be taking this concrete theme a bit far

Unreal crashed while deploying to my iPhone. Now the Platforms dropdown is just stuck on a loop of Querying devices that Xcode supports (I only have an iOS). Restarts haven't fixed this. Lucky I'm not trying to get something ready for Develop next week 🤦

I've tried so many different ways of debugging blueprints, but this still seems to be the most reliable (turns out I wasn't dpi scaling my button size... works fine on device but was bugging me out when trying to test on PC)
