I would gently suggest that anyone who enjoyed my writing in Cryptmaster might also like my writing in Ironheart, available now for the price of three tins of mackerel (supermarket brand): store.steampowered.com/app/1171840/...

15 Days: Part 28 is now available. This time I write about some awesome Game Dev Heroes news, Ryan Cahill's Endless Edition series, the new SN Operator, and give a couple of testing updates. pauljamesgamestesting.com/2026/06/29/1...

The Fall is an Instant Sunday Times and USA Today Bestseller. It’s also a #1 Small Publisher’s Bestseller, a #2 Fiction Heatseekers Bestseller, and a #8 Independent Bookshop Bestseller. What in the world is going on? This is a novella, guys. Novellas don’t hit these lists. You crazy bastards!

We just reached 10,000 wishlists for our upcoming Golden Idol-like, City of Voices! Big thanks to everyone who's supported and stuck with us, and helped spread the word. We're sorry it's taking so damned long! I assure you, we are making progress, slowly but surely!

I've got quite a bit of testing coming up; some I can share, some I can't...right now, and wow, I am excited for these titles!

15 Days: Part 29: Where I talk about an art/book commission from @irrezolut.com, share a personal @destinythegame.bungie.net writing highlight, and reveal an exclusive sneak peak from @brazengameplay.bsky.social's UrbX Warriors. pauljamesgamestesting.com/2026/06/30/1...

Mmmmm…

Possibly my favourite place in Destiny 2 @destinythegame.bungie.net

I spelt 'peek' wrong. So much editing, wasted... 😂

15 Days: Part 29 will be available very soon...

OH MY GIDDY AUNT! My point & click adventure, Heir of the Dog is playable all the way through! Fan fact: When the moon appears in the game, it matches the exact phase of the moon in the sky at the time of playing. #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev

'Consecutive days' if you're a subscriber. 😉

OK, two '15 Days' blogs written and ready to publish once they've had one more editing pass. Expect these on consecutive days, this coming week. In the meantime... pauljamesgamestesting.com/blog-2/

On the flipside, I cannot tell you how many times I've spelt adventure as 'adventrue'.

Just used 'amid', whilst writing my latest '15 Days' blog. I love it when I get to use a word I hardly ever hear anymore.

For relaxing times...

The UK heat is beginning to cool, and the writing is flowing. I am grateful.

Just to shamelessly show off, this is my personal best for this level; Map 7 - Dead Simple Ultra Violence Pistol start 1m 5s. ☺️ 😘

Another gratefully received testimonial for my website, from a wonderful developer with a fun project.

I didn’t go for speed or finesse (I can if you’d like), but this level is endlessly satisfying. ☺️

hello yes I am playing Sektori and streaming to stress test the network at the new studio. www.twitch.tv/irrezolut

I've finally found a quiet, shaded spot in the house where I can sit and write. Two 15 Days blogs will be coming your way next week.

What @caseyexplosion.bsky.social said. 100% agree.

Pre-ordered, with no hesitation.

Seeing my name on this shortlist never fails to bring a big smile to my face. ❤️ #GameDevHeroes The awards are on 14th July and tickets are available via this link: luma.com/l2wuw4x0

LAST DAY! All stretch goals UNLOCKED. Don't miss out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/der...

Is it the weather, or are these indiegame demos HOT!? I think it's the demos... lets try some and see if we can cool that burning desire to play more games... on tonights TRY IT TUESDAY STEAM, starting now! twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

This is swiftly heading towards a double feature.

A thrill to hear so many beautiful readings of the dreams I wrote for Valheim. I also contributed one or two myself, in my special "viking" voice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8ih...

So great to see MASUKU getting attention. I love playing this game!

15 Days: Part 28, is in draft. ✍️

😍

Very happy to share that after all these years, Assassin's Apprentice is going back for a 13th printing of 49,000 copies!! Now Ship of Magic is only on its 8th printing but still happy to see another 10,000 copies headed to bookstores.

Hi all! We'd like to nab some fresh testers to play through Nighthawks before the final sprint to launch. If you're interested, please DM me or @richardcobbett.bsky.social.

I‘m very honoured, proud, and excited to share that I’ve been shortlisted in the QA category for the Game Dev Heroes awards next month! A massive thank you for the nomination, and huge congratulations to everyone who has been shortlisted! gamedevheroes.co/2026-game-de...

There's a tricky bug I've been hunting all day but I'm getting close to finding it.

...and if I can help other people do the same in some small way then that's a very welcome bonus.

My manifesto is to make games that are important to me and enjoy life while doing it.

I have to admit, I've had a lot of fun today playing SNES and GB/GBA games. Old memories are flooding back and this new operator from Epilogue is fantastic.

Set up and ready to go!

A new personal best on the exercise bike this morning, since my May 4th fitness start date. 45:03 minutes. Then bicep curls, leg raises, press-ups and hip raises. Plus stretches (before and after), and plenty of water.

Hey, Paul. What are you playing this weekend between tests? Me:

15 Days: Part 27, where I mention Masuku by @alastairlow.bsky.social, share highlights of ZZAP live (and my growing appreciation for Amiga), give a few thoughts on Destiny 2's decision to end its live-service content, and finding Puzzle Post in the wild! pauljamesgamestesting.com/2026/06/01/1...
