This is a great interview with Oli Clarke Smith about the making of Promise Mascot Agency and Paradise Killer. Some interesting discussion around some of the design choices in those games. Great listen. youtu.be/LwocUwVVHhg?...

Promise Mascot Agency

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

First day as a backend engineer at #cloudflare today. Found a minor bug and fixed it using ChatGPT. Let's see where the journey takes me.

Very happy to see some indies in the Game Awards nominations, that's going to be great for them. 💝

This is bullshit. "absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground. "how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

We're thrilled to announce that Promise Mascot Agency has been nominated for Narrative at The 2025 Indie Game Awards! Thank you, @indiegameawards.gg! 🛻✨💗

"The only issue I am facing as a professional art director in games is that I just want them to leave me and my art teams alone so we can make cool art. There is no problem to be solved here" I think about this quote A LOT

I hate video tutorials so much... Please just let me read...

Paradise Killer is 75% off on Steam until the 12th November! May the Silent Goat walk with you! 💗💜🩵

Still thinking about the tech bro I sat behind on the plane the other day. Bragging to all of his contacts about his latest AI business, in between cycling between arranging 20+ Hinge dates and writing notes about his ayahuasca ceremony experience in the largest font possible. Couldn't write it.

Having a blossom tree in our garden is an absolute joy. Seeing the flower buds, the blossom, the green leaves, the red leaves, then watching the leaves fall has been a great way to watch the seasons go by in our own space. 🍂

With @kaizengameworks.com taking the biggest cash prize for Promise Mascot Agency and @ycjygames.bsky.social the Grand Jury Prize for Keep Driving, @devgamm.bsky.social Awards 2025 in Lisbon turned out to be an indie star fest. www.gamesmarket.global/one-devgamm-...

Looooook at this hot new Promise Mascot Agency gear 😍 Y'can pick up both vinyl records from The Yetee too A whooooole bunch of Shōwa-flavoured jazzy funkers from me and Ryo Koike!

Paradise Killer has forever changed my brain chemistry when collecting things in other games. I can't stop saying "blood crystal obtained" whenever I find ANYTHING. I need it on a shirt, a sticker, a tattoo, the inside on my eyelids

Thank you so much to Epic, DevGAMM and everyone who was involved with and played Promise Mascot Agency! Stunned! 🛻✨💗

Pastel de nata breakfast. Winning.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Looking forward to eating hotdogs in the garden later and watching the Bonfire Night fireworks. Definitely more of a 5th November girlie than a Halloween girlie at heart. 🔥🎆🧡

anyway. getting an itch to play Promise Mascot Agency again. not for any reason of course

And once again, doing research for a Kaizen Game Works game absolutely destroys my search history.

For better or for worse, The Xbox Kinect was released 15 years ago today.

Our latest Edition has arrived and it's a banger! Had the pleasure of working with @pepesalot.bsky.social and @bloomerart.bsky.social both of whom turned in stunning artwork. It was a huge pleasure to work with @abki.bsky.social who co-art directed this with me and was invaluable throughout.

Look at Pinky☆ and Michi on their very own poster! 😍 So pleased with our gorgeous physical release of Promise Mascot Agency with @lostincult.co.uk. Special art department shout-outs to @smgdraws.bsky.social, @pepesalot.bsky.social and @bloomerart.bsky.social! They all did an amazing job. 💗

Good to see some love for @xenotilt.bsky.social and @kaizengameworks.com on PlayStation Access. What excellent taste they have. youtu.be/03iuGbqVzJw?...

Folks! I’m looking for an illustrator to do some in-game artwork for an unannounced project on a contract basis in November. Feel free to shoot me a DM with your portfolio if you’re interested! Must be based in the UK, and absolutely no AI 🌟

Had a lot of good work emails this week. Can't wait to share everything.

Happy Katamari day!!!

The conversation between @chopemon.bsky.social and myself about Promise Mascot Agency is on youtube now! A lot of folks missed that I really enjoyed the game given I was digging into the spikey edges of the design, but I absolutely did. Give it a watch/listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwoc...
