Something I miss about working on I am Dead is getting to do real world research (with a lowercase r). Going to little museums, reading Wikipedia pages on weird obscure stuff, nattering about stuff that interests you... and then getting to put it into a videogame: it's fun!

Happy 40th anniversary to "Thundercats". Opening animated by Masayuki (who was only 22 years old at the time).

A message to the UK government: please respect our copyright 🙏 #MakeItFair #HandsOffOurCopyright 1/2

Amazing to see all the different newspapers united with the same front cover about this! #makeitfair #paythecreators

Today is last chance to have a say in government’s proposed plans to change copyright law. This is very scary for all UK creative industries. Please see @alcs-uk.bsky.social @dacs.org.uk AOI, SOA for links & guidance on the form & to write to your MP #makeitfair #paythecreators #handsoffmycopyright
