Whilst everyone is ranking 9 games I’m still stuck contemplating this utterly depressing 7 pen line up. Such “discarded office pen draw” vibes. Only the paper mate flare is eligible for consideration here - and only if it was black.

hello! meet MOSS, the newest painting toy from @brainfruit.bsky.social MOSS is a pixel art creator with programmable brushes and shareable pads. it's kind of like if procreate and asesprite got together and made something weird together. www.moss.town

Gosh isn’t it just so nice and refreshing hearing someone say good words in a good order

holy shit these numbers! let's gooooo

A lil good news for a Friday. Again the thing that hits me with election victories like this isn’t the footage of the winners or party leaders it’s that which shows the scale of work & optimism from volunteers

Last night at Morris practice they FINALLY let me touch the illusive fourth type of “stick”. These are “slings” that you whip around your head really fast and yes I did smack myself in the eye at least once.

I'm looking for work! I love technical challenges and got a deep artistic sense. I enjoy stunning folks with visuals AND coding efficiently. I worked on games, XR and immersive art, but especially interested in museum displays, music videos, science education. DM me! Would love to chat.

My Steam NextFest demo for Treeplanter is out now! It’s a diorama sandbox game where you create and enjoy a peaceful interactive woodland throughout the changing seasons. Help restore nature! Each copy of the game sold will fund planting real trees! 🌲🌳

The Black Immersive Creators Grant is an annual cash award of $10,000 for US-based Black artists who are interested in creating immersive artwork. Applications for the next cycle are open! Applications will close on Thursday, April 23 at 12am Pacific. Please share! www.blackimmersivecreatorsgra...

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Some reflections and process on working with our Advisory Group on Design and Disability - “generative friction” and how we meet to create access and ideas. www.vam.ac.uk/blog/project...

It seems Car Boot Casino 2 will have a GRAND PIANO and A PIANIST. They've asked for music references for the night... I need casino vibes and - or songs with money/ betting / card/ game themes

Morning thought if the day… If your dog suddenly became human and they were the same age they’d be in human years - would you let them continue to live with you? Roo - 36 year old woman. Out of control facial hair. Shouts at all the neighbours. Eats like a loud hoover

Do you dream of revenge on billionaires? THEN WE HAVE THE GAME FOR YOU. Back our indie game made with rage + love on Kickstarter NOW and play our BRAND NEW DEMO on Steam www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

fortunately they did really like the game! icymi, I made a documentary about Cairn's development with the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

Whilst I’m sad not to still be in the snow capped Olympic mountain peaks I am happy to be back in a home with little goblins snoozing and tip tapping around… or sat in weird positions giving me side eye.

I have one hundred thousand thoughts on all of this. My top line drum bangs are: - game cultural ecosystems need patronage from the places money has pooled - we need to shout & celebrate the long term impacts of grass roots game culture. They are hugely ignored by both “industry” & arts orgs

I think Feb 15th needs to become a new holiday for folks raiding the discounted food section. £5 for an entire bougie meal for 2 for £5 (& yes that includes desert) …& all because they put hearts of the box and renamed it “quackers about you”.

Belated celebration for my winter Olympic French tips as captured by the cortina Olympic cauldron

Winter Olympic check list check in…

I should have a game in this... maybe you will too?

Back working on my card game about trying to get a good night's sleep in a dormitory full of dickheads, with excellent illustrations by @vivschwarz.bsky.social

Just to get the lay of the land, do I perhaps know of any Europe-based Unreal Engine (C++) developers on here who do freelance work? Or UE-curious people who would be comfortable with C++ development Nothing concrete (yet) but I’d like to know of you in case things move forward!?

Then, for the grand event itself (all times ET): 11AM-12PM: @textfiles.com Jason Scott's Kitty Korner: Jason rings in the fundraiser playing a sampling of cat-themed IA games 12PM-1PM: @tigershungry.co.uk Rewilding Rumpus: A curated trip through the works of Wild Rumpus and Mild Rumpus

London & London commutable playful folks… the CAR BOOT CASINO will soon be opening its doors once more! If you’ve a homebrew card or bluffing game you’d be up for showcasing & running a table then drop me a line

1 week until I’m in Cortina for the Winter Olympics. I am hyped for - walking on crunchy snow - watching tiny far away biathlon people through binoculars - witnessing 2 cumulative seconds of Skeleton - sitting in the curling arena, plastic cup of beer in one hand, stoat mascot in the other

I feel very grateful to have been lurking quietly in the background during the four years that @tigershungry.co.uk was curating the annual No Quarter exhibition here! Check out this amazing roll of quarters.

* memoriam

<whimsical reminiscing soundtrack plays> In memorandum of my 4 beautiful years curaring @nyugamecenter.bsky.social's annual No Quarter exhibition I've pulled together an archive of each of the 4 cohorts & the 16 weird & wonderful works they brought into the world www.goodafternoon.uk/four-quarters

I have taught myself to crochet. I have then taught Roo to model my crochet.

thanks to @ricklane.bsky.social for talking to me and other modders. sorry not-sorry for the ludicrous headline quote btw credit to @asponge.bsky.social who coined “concrete murderzones” years ago to describe QBJ1 and it stuck in my head all these years

First and most importantly is to recognise its legacy. Freeplay was the longest-running independent games festival in the world. It was one of the first dedicates spaces for the countercultural and political side of gamemaking.
