"Do you think submarines rise when they sink?" - My darling girlfriend

Yes, we did release new DLC just last month. No, we are not done!! 👻

Introducing our upcoming DLC: FRIGHTS IN TIGHT SPACES 👹 Lurking in a sinister manor house, an ancient evil thirsts for a sacrifice. Horrors and otherworldly threats stand between you and your objective. 🎃👻Coming to Steam next Week 👻🎃

I really hope this era we've entered, where opening a game involves waiting 10 minutes for shaders to compile, is a short one. 🙄

Fitbit's movement reminders have absolutely no respect for whether there's a cat sleeping on my lap or not.

We're giving you something you didn't know you wanted. Agent K has been fantastic to develop. He's a very good boy and can run wherever you need him to be at any time. Fill your deck with pets and treats - he deserves it!

Barely speaking is still pretty good for a whale. Especially since it was so emotional.

Perhaps the gravest sin of Zelda's Wilds era is making Link boring. Next to no reaction in even the most powerful scenes. Not so much as a cocky smirk, or a wistful sigh in the presence of his loves. He looks completely dead inside. Please, let Link smile.

I've learned my lesson about asking for audio advice on Reddit. Apparently if you, as a novice, don't realise you're slightly beyond the scope of what the subreddit is for, the mods will breakdown your door like you've been screaming racial slurs. Why did I ever think Reddit might be a good idea? 😒

Do you like escape rooms? My girlfriend is running a survey and wants to hear your thoughts on them. If you've got a minute or two to spare, we'd really appreciate you filling it out. Thanks! forms.gle/8AatsAr5pFGz...

My talk at @developconference.com went down really well! It was a fantastic experience and I feel very fortunate for the opportunity. If you missed it, scan the QR code on the slide below and you can access the entire slideshow with all my speaker notes for your own reference. :)

The team have touched down at @developconference.com ! Come say hi 👋

As part of our coding track James Vigor from Ground Shatter explores the challenges in programming roguelike deck builder, Fights in Tight Spaces, and how they were tackled for its fantasy spin-off. #DevelopConf

Any legislation that does come into effect that imposes restrictions on game development should be done in a way that does not stifle creativity. It would be tragic if something done FOR gamers ended up robbing us of amazing games because devs are scared. Lawmakers: talk to indie developers.

Stop Killing Games sounds great in theory, but I do have a major concern about it. Maybe it's been addressed already and I've missed it. But what happens to devs who rely on third parties to host their game? Often this is done so that they can leave the game behind and let people keep playing. 1/4

Hey, have you tried the Liked Songs playlist on Spotify? It kinda slaps.

I subconsciously make the face of the emoji I'm looking for and I hate myself for it.

This is Medibody, a twin-stick game where you defeat enemies by breaking chunks off of them, then collecting them before they have a chance to retrieve them. Featuring classic Zelda/Metroidvania style upgrades and progression. #ScreenshotSaturday

I've been quietly working quietly on a solo game project on-and-off for a little while now and it's slowly coming together. Might consider showing it off a bit this weekend as a Screenshot Saturday thing. We still do that here, right?

Are they still making Final Fantasy XII? I feel like they've announced it fresh every year for the last decade

'Now Do it Again, But Better', a look behind the curtain at the development of Knights in Tight Spaces after the success of its predecessor, will be at @developconference.com, Wednesday 9th July, 2pm! #ImASpeaker #developconf

Huge thanks to @onevigor.bsky.social for speaking tonight at the Bristol Unity Meetup!

This is tonight! If you're in Bristol, come along and learn the story of the heroes (programmers) who saved the world (game studio) from evil demons (technical limitations). How did we build on FITS and make another kick-arse deckbuilder? Come find out!

This is today! Still spaces available if you want to come along! :)

A new Bristol Unity Meetup is on the 27th! @onevigor.bsky.social from Ground Shatter has kindly volunteered to talk about building on the successes of Fights In Tight Spaces to successfully create Knights In Tight Spaces. Really looking forward to it! RSVP here: www.meetup.com/bristol-unit...

Does anyone know what my fortune cookie is trying to tell me? 😰

Ray-traced lighting looks great and all, but I'm a way off wanting to actually play with it. It takes about half a second to adjust to any significant lighting change (e.g. torch turning on/off) and movement generates little artefacts all the time. Way more distracting to me than old techniques.

The Golem can be a mighty foe once you come across them- I mean they’re a very good boy?? (the devs may have forgotten to change this description before release 🤫)

You guys should probably check this out! I'm speaking at Develop:Brighton this year, sharing insights on how we built Knights after the roaring success of Fights in Tight Spaces.

Very sad to hear Simon Fisher-Becker passed away. I met him at various events over the years. We had a lot of lovely conversations and, though we weren't especially close, he never failed to wish me a happy birthday. The world has lost a kind and thoughtful man. Rest in peace.

Our Knights in Tight Spaces patch is live! It features improvements to Deck Draft, quality of life updates, and more!👇

We are incredibly excited to finally announce Knights in Tight Spaces is OUT! We’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to try the demo, leave your feedback and spread the word of our beloved (spiritual sequel) game that is Knights in Tight Spaces store.steampowered.com/app/2315400/...

Knights in Tight Spaces is out RIGHT NOW ⚔️🛡️🏹✨ store.steampowered.com/app/2315400/...

A brand new game is about to launch... 👀

Yesterday we had our Prelaunch Party for Knights in Tight Spaces! Thank you to everyone who came for a Knightly boogie and celebrate Knights in Tight Spaces... Which is releasing TODAY!!! See you in 4ish hours 😎

At the @kitspacesgame.bsky.social Prelaunch party what’s the move

Tomorrow sees the launch of undoubtedly the best Tight Spaces game to date! We've worked super hard to bring you another amazing game and we're sure you're gonna love it!

HELLO BLUESKY! We're Fights in Tight Spaces, A strategy game that blends deck-building, turn-based tactics, and thrilling animated fight sequences in classic action-movie settings. 👊💥 Overcome the odds to defeat your adversaries. (we also totally didn't forget our login deets till now)

As if the beautifully retro wordart weren't enough, you'll also find some awesome books there! That's Angus Bookfest, if you're in the area next weekend. 😁

Happy 10th anniversary to Halo 2 Anniversary! 🥳

I basically never read manga, but I pre-ordered this box set as soon as I knew it was a thing and I'm so pumped for it!

I'm trying to work out if this is a bug. I completed Echoes of Wisdom with only one death, when I was in swordfighter form. I had fairies but apparently they decided to just let me perish instead of doing their ONLY job. Can't find anyone else complaining though, so just me?

👾Indie Devs! 👾 We want to see YOUR games at IMPACT! impress.games/impact Follow the link to tell us all about it!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Is Bluesky good for job postings? Let's find out! We're looking for a generalist artist to join our team @ant-workshop.com and work on a bunch of cool stuff. All the details + how to apply are here, so please share this link with any pals you think it would suit (or apply if YOU are that pal)

Just watched Eve finish Twilight Princess for the first time. Had to stop myself from blubbing at the credits again. She clearly isn't as invested! Oh what I wouldn't give for more of that game! I don't mean more Zelda. I mean more of that specific instalment.

Who do I talk to in order to get rid of the dreadful diamond shaped node in flowcharts?

Not gonna count my chickens at this stage, but things are moving again. First draft, 2800 words. Chapter 1 in the bag. Gotta keep moving. Gotta keep moving. #amwriting

I have set up a Bluesky account in case I think of anything worth saying, but mostly to reserve my username.
