"Be warned: This game might suck hours of your life away" - Kotaku Have you played Froggy Hates Snow yet? Available now on PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mnC...

Providing IO is still developing them, I'm fine with this

So it's finally here, performing for you I *do* know the words, so I'll join in too... (...after work)

The thing @ioi.dk nails in #007FirstLight is that Bond isn't really about the shooting, gadgets or car chases. It's about swaggering around like you own the place, making shit up as you go, and bullshitting your way out of trouble (if that doesn't work, then guns/gizmos/cars) #KlausHergersheimer

Fully expect to see Jack Black wearing these at the next Mario/gaming event he attends www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/06...

Quick reminder that today you need to: 1️⃣Check out all the awesome games shown in the @themix.bsky.social Summer Showcase via the link below 2️⃣Wishlist Curse of Resthaven 3️⃣Wishlist all the other titles that take your fancy You may begin... wait for it... now! store.steampowered.com/curator/3089...

Curse of Resthaven has already been through some big changes since its unveiling in February In the latest dev diary, game director Scott Christian dives deeper into some of the redesigns shown in the new trailer - based in no small part on player feedback! store.steampowered.com/news/app/379...

You heard 'em - wishlist ALL THE GAMES Start with Curse of Resthaven (that's the intriguing, gothic one with the stunning hand-drawn art style in the bottom right) and work your way through the rest 😉

Yesterday was a good one. Thanks to @themix.bsky.social for making #CurseOfResthaven an official selection in their Summer Game Showcase. If you missed it, our brand-new trailer is out now. Give it a watch and let us know what you think. 👇🖤

Already fired up music.nintendo.com as background ambience while I work - and had another reminder of the 'joys' of sharing an account with my son. Since Nintendo Music launched, I have created three playlists for myself. He has created 34. On my account. Whyioughta, etc.

One thing I don't miss about journalism is having to watch all of these and frantically write up the biggest news/announcements that emerge. Now I get to just watch them at my own pace and enjoy them. To all the journos bracing themselves for this week, best of luck!

Here it is: the new Curse of Resthaven trailer, just premiered at #theMIX! If you're into gothic horror, dark fantasy, eldritch mysteries, and a damn fine cup of coffee (if you know, you know), please wishlist! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrcU...

Watching The MIX Summer Showcase. A lot of amazing indie games here, but my favourite so far is Wild Blue Skies by @ChuhaiLabs - it looks brilliant! I'm expecting this to scratch the Star Fox itch much more effectively than the *fourth iteration of Star Fox 64*

The MIX Summer Showcase starts in 30 minutes! Tune in for the latest glimpse at @playhilltop.bsky.social's Curse of Resthaven, plus dozens of other awesome indie games. ➡️ bit.ly/MIXSUMMER26 #CurseOfResthaven #SummerGameFest

Reached this point in 007 First Light last night, and all I could think of was this...

"The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation" — Jacob Bronowski So stop contemplating in your metaphorical heat bubble and start digging into the week ahead. You've got this! #MondayMotivation #FroggyHatesSnow

Finally treated myself to a third-party Switch gamepad (with Switch 2 adaptors, natch) based on the greatest controller ever made. (That's right @brendansinclair.bsky.social - the *greatest*!) Zero regrets.

Calling it now, the sequels to 007 First Light will/should follow a number-title pattern to let you know where they fall in the series, e.g. 007 Second Sight, 007 Third Strike, 007 Fourth Defence

Got a bad feeling about this mission. Can't put my finger on why... 😜

Scouring Q Branch for Easter eggs and film references. There's a few background verbal lines, and I think/assume these are nod to Goldeneye #007firstlight

007 First Light's playable training montage is genius! So fluid. Would love to see more games take a leaf out of @ioi.dk's book when it comes to tutorials

A sad day in any gaming dad's life. My son nearly beat the Donkey Kong Bananza final boss on his first try, then asked me to do it. After my four attempts, he asked if he could try again - and beat it second time. I am no longer needed.

I've done it. I've managed to get early access to that new James Bond game everyone is banging on about

A quick shameless plug, if I may: both my gaming books are currently 20% off if you buy from @penswordbooks! The Best Non-Violent Video Games: www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/The-Best-Non... The History of the Pokemon Games: www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/The-History-... Enjoy!

"Be warned: This game might suck hours of your life away" - Kotaku Find out why! Snowguelike frogventure Froggy Hates Snow is available now for PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mnC...

I've booked off next week because it's half-term so the kids will be home. The fact this is coming out is pure coincidence.

Go follow the awesome people I get to work with (And follow Digital Bandidos to make my life easier 😘)

"Top-down roguelike survival game is Death Stranding meets Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors and it rules" Thank you Kotaku for choosing Froggy Hates Snow as Indie of the Week!

007 days! I see what you did there Cannot wait!

One of our games is up for a Develop:Star Award! Go vote for it. Now! (Please)

"The sun himself is weak when he first rises; and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on" — Charles Dickens "The frog himself is weak when he first ventures out; and gathers strength, courage and a flamethrower as he finds more gems" — Froggy Hates Snow #MondayMotivation #FroggyHatesSnow

Come for Froggy Hates Snow. Stay for the other (also awesome) indie games

I love playing co-op Pokémon with my daughter. This is an absolute must for Winds and Waves!

12 Penguins! Follow me, my flightless friends, to gold and glory!

I've been a fan of @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social since the early days of Zero Punctuation (even more so when I found he's a fellow Thief 2 fan and a Dwarfer) So you can imagine how chuffed I am that he agreed to give Froggy Hates Snow a try! www.youtube.com/live/N_3BROY...

It may not be flashy but the shovel is essential. Makes clearing the map so much smoother. (Honourable mention to fireworks, the penguin, cluster bombs, and Knox's hockey stick attack!)

"boy wheres ur pelvis?" It's just a privilege to see such incredible creative minds at works

This is great! Really hope it's an indication that we'll be getting a grand, sweeping orchestral soundtrack for Winds and Waves

Showed the kids the Starfox Direct and I realised what was missing: Co-op! If not local, then no-card GameShare. Imagine having a full squadron of four players. They'd have to be new characters to avoid clashing with story events (e.g. Slippy crashing), but it would brilliant!

Froggy has been such an amazing game to work on, and it feels like we're just getting started. Thank you to everyone for their support so far.

Catching up on the cancelled Sega Super Game news. I will forever be intrigued as to what that was, but I wonder if this is yet another sign of the AAA industry realising that only a select few can keep affording to go bigger? Hoping more games go deeper, more focused in future

A huge thank you to everyone who is digging into Froggy Hates Snow so far! It's been amazing to see people enjoying this game we love so much If you haven't already, please leave a review on Steam - it really helps.

Huge thanks to The Verge for featuring Froggy Hates Snow in this article - and alongside the latest excellent Moomintroll game, no less! The game's developer, Serge, was determined to make snow more than just visual dressing - safe to say that's coming across 😉

Anyone know if there's a tank in 007 First Light?

Can genuinely recommend this as a chilled Friday night game

I may not be 100% convinced about getting the Star Fox remake, but this has been a welcome shot of nostalgia today

Woke up to find Froggy Hates Snow at No.2 in New & Trending on Steam Thank you so much everyone! We really appreciate the love and support for this game
