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.

Important #indiedev / #gamedev tip: Youtubers and streamers may avoid your game if any audio gets flagged by YT's automated copyright system (Content-ID). Check this by uploading the soundtrack as an unlisted video and wait a couple hours for it to scan. I learned this the hard way on my first demo.

This week's Steam Next Fest featured 2,000 + demos. I played 50 these past few days for no more than 10 / 15 mins each. Here are the 10 of the games I played I liked the most. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L89g...

What Elca has done in Dreams on the Playstation is honestly phenomenal.

What a delightful cover.

My picks of the indie game reveals and news from the Summer Next Fest 2025 youtu.be/mDb29I-lfzw

New video up later this afternoon UK time and come the weekend I'll take a Quick Look over some of the Next Fest demos I picked up. There are certainly a few to choose from.

I really enjoyed pulling this pilot together. I'll see how traction is say after 6 / 8 weeks although I could see this show becoming a key part of my content cycle.

Now this I will probably buy - depending of course on its price. Game Pass titles (and presumably Steam too) while out and about or at home on the sofa, I can see this working for me. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Something new for Saturdays. My week in Indies will be looking to round up the biggest stories, best trailers, surprise launches, and hidden gems from the world of indie games. Here's a little pilot to test the water.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsOL...

The first of 2 videos from me this week. Here's hoping nothing too spicy gets announced by Sony later this evening.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_V7...

After a few too many flash starts, tomorrow marks the honest to goodness restart of my indie game discovery journey on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. Placeholder thumb. As always, many thanks for the support over the years.

We are gearing up for 0.2 release of Ludocene. If you are a journo-like and exclusive access would help you cover us, I'd love to give you a tour. Please share for any people in media who follow you. (We've had great coverage on Guardian/FT.com/Polygon.) Thanks! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lud...

Please don’t sleep on this. It’s another banger from Inkle.
