I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚 Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩 #visualnovel #gamedev #steam

#Deathloop in #TinyGlade I recreated Blackreef’s Fristad Rock area in Tiny Glade. #PlayMatters

Deathloop’s Julianna Blake, fragmenting between time and space following a particularly well placed shotgun blast that threw her off the bleak cliffs of Blackreef. No real harm done, she’ll be back again tomorrow to do the same to me! #PlayMatters #Deathloop

What does the EU AI Act mean for your school? I suspect this is just the tip of the AI in Education regulation iceberg, worldwide. www.linkedin.com/pulse/heres-... #AI #AIEdu

I’m really interested in connecting with game producers (at any level) from underrepresented (women, BIPOC, non-binary, etc) communities. Particularly but not exclusively from the Global South. #PlayMatters

Front cover of the New York Post in response to Deepseek’s clash with American AI. An anthropomorphic, evil-eyed AI model looks at you over a device stamped with a Chinese flag. “Beware this AI evil! Our AI is good, of course, but this one is out to undermine your freedom…and our profit!” #AI

I rarely read my horoscope, but this week, as I attend #BETT2025 in a new role and with a new focus, Metro couldn’t have been closer to the truth! #PlayMatters #Virgo

It's built in 3D space, but the individual textures are hand-drawn with pen and paper. #indiegame #godotengine #gamedev

Spent some time with this beauty at breakfast in #AbuDhabi. A Mammoth Scollid Wasp. Native to Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. This one was 4cm in length. They can grow up to 6cm. They feed on nectar, lay their eggs inside beetles, and they sting. #IdleHour #Nature #Wildlife

I made a thing to process my childhood trauma and deep love for this movie all at once. #Neverendingstory #PixelArt #Pixels

Loving #HeroQuest (1991) on my #Anbernic #Retro gaming device. #Amiga500 emulator. I still play the original board game too. #PlayMatters

Today I added moving platforms to my #godot #climbing #indiegame There is a lot of math and trickery that makes the spider feet follow the moving and spinning platforms. #godotengine #gamedev #gamedeveloper #indiedev #godot #solodev

Layering in #CanvasOfKings. Lush! #PlayMatters

This is what I do with vacation time - On my knees in the rain-soaked streets, lost in the ebb and flow of colour as car oil washes to the drains. #PlayMatters #OdeToOrdinary

So it’s goodbye to #AbuDhabi until the New Year. I’ll sure miss this sunset!

Despite the tragic nature of her storyline, Pick Rexly (#Deathloop) woke up on Day One and decided to put some fancy laces on those shoes! Details matter. Immersive Gaming. #PlayMatters

I’ve been playing #Deathloop for years and I just found an entire storyline and character I didn’t even know existed! We meet at last, Pick Rexly! I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you. #PlayMatters #PickRexly

I absolutely love #CanvasOfKings. A mapmaking application for deeply detailed map creation for #DnD and other roleplaying games. The point and click placement is lush! I use it for #Narrative creation and story starters for #Literacy learning and I’ve used it to plan Minecraft builds. #PlayMatters

Belgian game dev Swen Vincke casually dropped the greatest speech on game design I've ever heard at the Game Awards: Don't make games to increase market shares, don't treat players as users to exploit. Create a game because you want to play it and it hasn't been made yet.
