Sooo close! Just one more review until Farewell North is 'Overwhelmingly Positive.'

I've had a promotional VHS for the test animation that became Batman: The Animated Series for a long time, I bought it on eBay in like...1999? The version they put as a bonus on the DVD said they lost the audio but uh, here it is. You're welcome Bruce Timm.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

I just had a great couple of days down in London meeting the fellow BAFTA Breakthroughs. Back home now and excited to get back to work with some fresh inspiration!

👁️ WARNING 👁️ Despite attempts at strict containment by Heartblade Interactive and censorship by ratings agencies and media outlets - a public demo version of the banned 1995 CD-ROM ‘Forbidden Solitaire’ is being leaked to the public this Friday on Steam. #horrorgame #indiedev #steam

People don't realize how much you help indie creators when you mention an indie game you like to someone else!

I've been looking forward to checking out Cronos but after an hour or so I'm just... not feeling it. Does it pick up?

Done, but I just can't imagine any world where Discord is still a friendly platform over the next few years, especially with the IPO looming

By the way this IGF Excellence in Narrative nominated writer (twice!) is still looking for work in 2026 👋

crescent county will never use AI 💜 a game by humans, for humans

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

I open sourced this little Unity tool a few years ago to declare dependencies and improve performance of resolving references (no more GetComponent*), which was very important for smooth world streaming. Glad to see it still gets hundreds of downloads every month. Neat! github.com/KyleBanks/sc...

Not to toot my own bugle, but besides the addictive and awesome gameplay, the fixed camera of Pinkeep allows for some really cool tech art wizardry for some visuals that haven't been shown too much yet 👀

Meet Hop! He's a little frog in a big world, which you can explore on January 12th. Coming to Steam, Switch, and PS5! #indiegames #nintendoswitch #ps5

Boy, I tell ya. #pixelart

Very video game door on this train. Yellow means I go through, right?

I made a free web tool to create gradients along svg paths ✨ With it, you can create masks to animate fancy curves in your games instead of doing it by hand 🐰 qaqelol.itch.io/svg-gradient #Godot #GameDev #Silksong #HollowKnight #SVG

I'd like to bag a few Munros and keep exploring Scotland this year. My wife and I realised after living here a few years we lost momentum and fell into old habits, so we started planning monthly adventures to keep active. Sometimes a quick event in town, others a big trip, but it's helped a lot!

Fucking hell.

Finally got around to implementing proper swimming mechanics 🦦 #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

We got the footage! The shoot went really well yesterday, now I just need to decide if I'm keeping the moustache…

This wasn't always my favourite year for various personal reasons, but two standout memories were being selected for the BAFTA Breakthrough program, and joining John Konsolakis as he won an Ivor Novello for the Farewell North soundtrack after four years working together.
