Unavowed is 70% off during the Steam Summer Sale! Embark on a party-based, multi-branching urban fantasy game about magic and monsters in New York. It was also an IGF nominee and was called "one of the best adventure games ever made" by PC Gamer. store.steampowered.com/app/336140/U...

Doing social media for our latest indie release today and I’m like

Lots of people asking how we made Over the Alps: The Devil's Quill. Also asking why we made it, which is fair enough! So! A brief thread about how I finished off a game I started back in 2013. 🧵 #gamedev

Little bit emotional this one - the first ever game I made as an indie has been re-released and finally finished with its last bit of content after 6 years. Go give it a spin, it was my entire world for many years. Full credit to the superb team who worked on it. Go look through those credits!

Can't wait to sign away 30% of every game project I ever will make or have made to help fund this man's next mega-yacht or super-mansion while I count pennies just in order to keep making games. It's just such an honour.

We're in Next Fest! That's one item ticked off the indie studio bucket list. store.steampowered.com/news/app/446...

Camels are not to be bonded with, apparently

Boxroom is coming out on the 11th (tomorrow)! It’s been in release limbo for nearly a month through zero fault of the devs, and from experience that can rough up a game launch. So please, support a fellow indie, give them your support and shout about it!!! store.steampowered.com/app/4335460/...

I have a printed copy of this review and keep it under my pillow

The new Steam Personal Calendar is actually pretty good, there's a few gems in here I've not seen before

Maffman22 has been creating a family tree of his King of the Castle monarchs. It looks very normal and not complicated at all. Why not give him a sub at www.twitch.tv/maffman22, or join in the game to add yourself to the madness?

please play our demo!! I drew so many pictures to make it real!!

About to go on an Idiot Safari and read the comments of this Facebook post. Wish me luck

There's a hotfix up for Occlude 🔥 2.0.3 is out now 🔥 This includes fixes for some issues with the tutorial and the RNG system And if you want to know how Occlude shuffles cards our own @owennewburn.bsky.social has written a post all about the RNG in the game. steamcommunity.com/games/354701...

Everyone at milktooth is so ridiculously talented, lovely and making something so bloody good you're going to want to play it straight away. Go follow them! Get excited! They're good! Really bloody good!

This weekend we'll be playing Amberspire, by @nictringali.bsky.social, with a touch of @hollynielsen.bsky.social for good measure. It's a dice rolling city builder with mad world-building and factional politics. And we think you'd absolute love it: store.steampowered.com/app/3350750/...

To the drag queen who came bursting out of the London Marathon to say she loved our greyhound 1) how did you have the energy to do that mid-marathon, incredible 2) you looked amazing where is your show and can I take my dog

Behind the scenes pitch for a feature in KOTC - where players would build a castle over multiple reigns. Was cut in descoping, which now means there’s no castles in a game called “King of the Castle”. Woops.

Weekend bump for this!

Why do all my models wear helmets? Yeah, lore reasons. Nothing to do with how painting little tiny bloody heads makes me lose the will to live

The War Of The Kings, a special KOTC event, is running at 1PM EST with four fantastic streamers. Who will you join? The proud Counts: twitch.tv/thriftytokens The zealous Grandees: twitch.tv/2slow2serioustv The strong Chiefs: twitch.tv/biowolf42 The dastardly King: twitch.tv/mrkaji

Being a writer is starting an update with "I don't really have anything to talk about" and then writing more than 2000 words about writing in-game news stories that nobody will read. www.kickstarter.com/projects/753...

Rarely do I finish a book and wish I could wipe my memory clean to read it again. I had it today with Robert Jackson Bennett’s first two Shadow of the Leviathan books, both of which I devoured in under a month. If you’re a fan of fantasy - especially Tchaikovsky or Wolfe - I can’t recommend more!

Renee Good believed in kindness, volunteered her time and talents, saw value in all beliefs, and her final words were “I don’t hate you” to her murderer. Now her name is being dragged through the mud. She’s more Christ-like than anyone in that evil administration. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Everything Bruno touches is pure gold! Whether it's a sprawling behemoth like Fallen London or a focused indie project just starting out, if you want words what are good, go hire Bruno.

It's insane how much my indie career has been making prototypes and pitches for titles that have never seen the light of day. Here's a peek behind the curtain: A strategy title called City In Flames we worked on back in 2024. Got close, but no publisher would have it. #gamedev

Merry Christmas everyone. I know it’s not the easiest time for everyone, especially when so many are so outwardly, overly joyous (especially us god bothering types) So if you’re not having the best day, know that I’ll be thinking of you today. I hope we all find some form of peace, however small.

Fun fact, this building is weirdly important to the @tributarygames.bsky.social lore. Me and @spartridge.bsky.social basically learned to code in the Cruciform building.

Yes, all my design proposals have themed header images. Yes, it is weird and annoying. No, I will not stop

Thanks to Steam Replay, you really can guess what we've been playing a lot of this year...

Having worked with the superb @sallybeaumont.bsky.social on Occlude and KOTC trailers and recently meeting @stanwixbuster.co.uk then been genuinely emotionally crushed by his work, I'm extremely proud and happy for both of them for this - Well deserved you two.

I had a day off and spent it painting Little Dudes. Fuck making video games this is the most satisfying thing in the world to do.

Steam Scream Fest has begun! And with it, Occlude is 20% off. It's a game with immaculate vibes - one reviewer said it's like "getting a coffee enema in a bookshop" So if you're into... that, and also want to try our free update with 24 new puzzles, go here: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...

Cardinals are out! We've increased the amount of content by 343%, which isn't half bad for a free update. This was a team effort, as usual, but my special thanks to our resident puzzlemaster @owennewburn.bsky.social for the idea, design and execution of the Cardinals. Right, go lose your minds!

Are you in London for #EGX and #MCMComicCon this weekend? Fancy winding down with some wierd games at the Loading Bar in Stokey on Sunday? We have friends @spartridge.bsky.social and @danthat.bsky.social showing off their games! Are you making something weird? Bring it! luma.com/acedim4s

The reaction to the bugfix in King of the Castle has been genuinely overwhelming. The last time we got this many positive reviews was ten months ago - madness! We're releasing a lore drop on Arald the Great as a thank you in our Discord. Much love to you all.

This was a bugger to get out! Kudos to @owennewburn.bsky.social who worked this weekend with me to get this out. And apologies to any of players who came across the bug. The joys of updating a game because Twitch changes its backend and Unity finds a security vulnerability. I love #gamedev

Found this mockup for a pitch we did *before* KOTC. It was a mobile game like Neptune's Pride/Subterfuge but with turns, so you'd log in once or twice a day to make moves. All set in a fantasy Roman empire-like setting. Only really cool kids make fake app store pages for pitches. #gamedev

I'm a speaker at GGDF this year! Get yourself a ticket and come on down to Goldsmiths to hear me talk about disasters making games. It'll be fun, I promise: luma.com/GGDF25

What is it about this whole flag thing that stops BBC reporters from doing basic background checks? Here's the normal bloke who put up some flags. What does the briefest Google search show? Ah yes, a conviction for animal cruelty, along with his drug dealing gang leader brother. Very normal.

I'm live right now with MrKaji to chat about the development and history of King of the Castle! Come watch me here: www.twitch.tv/mrkaji

Oh you lot really liked that sale. So let’s do another, shall we? King of the Castle is back on sale, this time it’s the superb Political Sim Fest where it’s a princely 50% off! Go check out the full fest here, there’s some cracking games included: store.steampowered.com/category/pol...

Credit to @owennewburn.bsky.social and @skelicopter.bsky.social for working on this while I was at Gamescom. And to Morgrim and the community, who collated all the issues into one page - We’re so blessed to have fans like them ❤️

finally the bug wife

We (finally) have Steam Trading Card for Occlude! We've also got emoticons and profile backgrounds too. Good luck collecting them all! Or turning them into gems. Or printing them out and eating them, one by one, under a dank, wet bridge in Prague at midnight. Whatever you like.

We're extremely happy to announce that we're adding more content to Occlude! This will be a free update that will add over 20 'Cardinals', brand new puzzles based on existing Rituals, along with a reward for completing them all. More info soon - Thanks for your love & support, it's been amazing.

Hidden gem for fans of word games, puzzles and highly polished weirdness - Cursed Words. If you like mind-breaking games you can break, this one is definitely for you. Go wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/3856460/...
