Bank holiday in the UK = The Sound of Music. The best bits....

Found this again. The time I created the aircraft noise use in the Airplane movie. Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home…

IT'S TIME! We're setting up for our PAX East Family Gaming room. If you have an indie game, or know someone making one, on Switch or PlayStation, we'd love to get it in front of the 1000s of families who visit our room. Just needs to be PEGI 12 or ESRB Teen or younger. Share's welcome, DMs open.

My boy Milo wishes you the best of health. Cheers! Just look at those boots!

My old alter ego featured in BBC Introducing a few weeks ago was the highlight of the year. More of that to follow in '26.

10 years ago today I started Get Indie Gaming while sitting in the departure lounge at Heathrow. For the most part, the project has run its course. I’ve shifted creatively back towards making EDM and performing live. Tonight sees a track of mine played out on the BBC....

Damn that was one heck of a gig.

For the European + British crowd, we started a "we've been working in video games for too long" podcast!

Raji: An Ancient Epic is such a wonderful action platform from 2020. Beyond stoked to see a sequel in the works. If that teaser at the end of the show piqued your interest, I cannot recommend the original enough; especially for only $6.24 right now.

Very, VERY excited to share that in April 2026, we will be running our first Indie Showcase on @secondwindgroup.com! I loved putting these on with the team back at The Escapist, and with the audience we have now I'm even more excited to get to do it here. Stay tuned for more details!

Enjoyed this. I've was a big festival goer in the '96 - '04 era but nothing I went to comes close, for obvs many reasons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrzw...

New from the makers of KIDS & CARS: EGGS

After his game, Ridiculous Fishing, became a hit, @ramiismail.com found a touching way to thank his parents for the sacrifices they made to help him achieve his dreams. Find out what he did — and how it all began — in this week’s episode: bit.ly/48LMMRB

Tired and happy to be home after EGX and ComicCon. Around 2000 families visited, and 100's used our game finder to discover new things to play. Try it for yourself here: www.familygamingdatabase.com/gameFinder

Found this afternoon in a charity shop. I'm like a BOY excited to see if this works etc etc...... I sold mine years ago and have regretted it ever since. Please let this be ok.....

We are bringing our biggest ever Family Gaming Zone back to EGX! South Hall S1680. Over 100 games to choose from with experts on hand to suggest titles, explain PEGI and parental controls for consoles, Roblox and PC. www.familygamingdatabase.com/Family+Gamin... See you there? Shares welcome.

I'm working on a Roblox story for a national outlet and keen to talk to parents of older teens (12-16) who play Roblox games: ✅ Which games do they play? ✅ Why play that rather than a console game? ✅ How do they find new Roblox games? Shares appreciated #JournoRequest

I first played this at Gamescom in (I think) 1999. It’s the only time I’ve ever sworn in joy while playing a demo. Honestly, I’ve looked forward to playing Dead Static Drive again over the years more than Silk Song.

Immortality is a treat. As I've often said here, I love hosting parties where we play the game with folks who don't know about it, or who don't like video games. It's almost missionary work.

Such a great conversation about family gaming on BBC Radio Solent/Hampshire/Dorset/Berkshire/Oxford (all the BBCs). Not only a chance to share advice, but to hear from the presenter's experience of her son making real-world friends in online games. Here's the clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZGa...

For those of us a certain age, and for everyone else. This footage of Nirvana feels magical. Waaaay of topic, but still. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrWt...

Messing around in Vital. I seem to have made the airplane noise from the film Airplane.

Late to this and yet please, take a listen to this podcast. Andy's work is very special on many levels.

More noodling in Bitwig. Just a sample sketch although the dub delay all over the place has perhaps some legs.

This is 30 or so years old. Happy memories of going bonkers at this at Leftifeld's live show in '96. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKNf...

Something new from me. Well I say new, I've been meddling with producing EDM again. 20 years ago I made breaky techno and played out in the UK, EU and a few times in the US. I quit one early morning at a festival in Belgium and downed tools. If you fancy a follow, I'm @LYFsounds on X and Insta.

I think I'l retire until this pops out.

What say you Hornet? Is it your time to take to the dance floor?

Delighted to be doing a monthly column for this. Ralph's a thoroughly good egg, the site's great, and the idea of a video guy pivoting to text is just proper world-gone-mad stuff, love it. Have a look!

Home with this in the mailbox. I'm trying to guess the DS2 review score before I get to it.

Fascinating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE-6...

I found this version of Just Like heaven very sweet. It's from the BBC IPlayer so probably geo-restricted. shorturl.at/KHtvI

Call for a voice actor! We’re looking to cast a female actress for our next game. Vocal age 25-35, Northern England accent, preferably Mancunian, incl. Pakistani and Indian Mancunian accents. That’s you? Then send a sample to [email protected], marked “casting call”. Paid gig, ofc <3 RTs!

Hugely recommend picking up this and other newsletters from Indieformer with the focus on personal curation - top draw stuff right here.

The first and possibly only video of mine to hit 1 millions views. Thank you all so, so much.

This week's musing on a few things indie games. This video is doing better than last weeks so perhaps there's some legs in the format. Cheers everyone! youtu.be/pgFBSPyxnak

I'll say it again, Rematch is the most fun I've had with a football game since FIFA International Soccer on the Mega Drive from '93 / '94.

This is doing reasonably well in terms of click though and watch time. It is early, early days but this content might just have legs.

I tired this a good 5 years ago but thought I'd do so again. A weekly magazine like round up of the big indie game events, announcements, reviews and launches. I tried to pull something together that felt like a 10 - 15 min read of your fave gaming mag over say a coffee.
