If you were into late 00’s post-hardcore emo from specifically Derby then this is huge news

Can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since the last time I reminded you to wishlist our game, so: WISHLIST OUR GAME, it's weird and pretty and bleak and requires you to use your brain. A bit at least. Please and thank you. 💀 store.steampowered.com/app/4102890/...

I launched a Kickstarter for Shutter Story but it went under the radar! It's a horror game about revealing and categorizing signs of the paranormal in a family's photographs 📸 Kickstarter link below. RTs, support appreciated 🖤 #indiegame

This genius mixed the Hotdog Car sketch from I Think You Should Leave with Disco Elysium's iconic dialogue: it works so well.

Apologies for all the UK politics spam but look it’s very rare for good things to happen ever

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

Wait, Britain has politics as well?? Christ, when will it end

This is huge.

Bulbasaur trailing on 15% is exactly why we’re in this state

When you want to give fascist zillionaires a squillion pounds for dreck, but you aren’t sure how to go about doing it

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Big ditto here. Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!! Solidarity is important.

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

Strip Law deserves a second series for the fire truck sequence in Episode 4 alone.

Reminder that Super Hydlide (1989) featured one of the earliest examples of a morality system. One it made no effort to flag to the player. That counted against you every time you killed a high xp gifting early “enemy”. That then made it impossible to finish if you were immoral. 10/10 👌

Spent the weekend in Oslo and it was cold, snowy, and beautiful. Great work, Norway.

I’ve been really enjoying The Daily Spell. It’s a small and perfectly formed word-puzzle game that offers glimpses of a charming wizarding world (blissfully NOT associated with a hateful transphobe) through its daily press headlines. Jump in: www.the-daily-spell.com

Shutter Story is a horror game where you examine family photos for signs of the paranormal 📸 Try the demo out in the #SteamNextFest tomorrow!

My approach to marketing: 1. Be earnest and enthusiastic about what you’re making. If you don’t believe your game is amazing, no one else will. 2. Know your strengths and your weaknesses. Lean into the things your game does best, but acknowledge to yourself where the gaps are.

This is very sad. Tim was one of the first people I met when I started doing the conference circuit many years ago with Mediatonic games. He was always unfailingly friendly, interested, and kind.

Big update for The Daily Spell, the daily word puzzle that reveals a serialized story set in a fantasy world! I added better navigation to the Archive and added a search bar to find where characters and story elements were mentioned before. I hope it's useful! 🔎 www.the-daily-spell.com

i think what a lot of people never seem to realize is that a lot of people's vision of an "epic dream game" isn't actually very deep and comes down to scale and/or having a lot of features, whereas by embracing limitations you can be pushed in a far more radical direction.

After 9+ years at ustwo games I have unfortunately been made redundant. If you are looking for a stylised 3D generalist with 10+ years experience to have on your team please give me a shout or let others know that I am available for work! I'd love to chat ✨ fensartden.com [email protected]

The latest from @eruditorumpress.com is a similarly meticulous exploration of Alan Moore’s incredible From Hell. Come for the deep-dive inside baseball riches. Stay to learn who Alan Moore refers to as “grey men with bad haircuts”.

Re-upping this in light of Gaiman’s brief resurgence. Remains a fascinating and exhaustive teardown of the man and his work. Vital and brilliant. I say this as someone who found Sandman/Smoke and Mirrors absolutely fucking foundational.

D'you ever get a stupid idea in your head and then you can't do anything else until you get it out? 🎣

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

every epstein commentary is these immensely rich/powerful/influential people raving about what a genius epstein was, and every one of his emails is just “helo, my name jomfrie”

been enjoying responding to each new genai tech reveal with a slow, drawn out, "yeah but it still can't make scribblenauts"

my new game The Red Pearls of Borneo is out a week early and available for free on itch.io You are a clairvoyant investigator in 1948 London, exploring the psychic echoes of a tragedy that occurred eight years prior on a remote plantation in Borneo. Game link: bushmonkey.itch.io/the-red-pear...

I’m long out of Mediatonic/Epic now, and Fall Guys already feels like it happened in another life - but it’s still a joy to hear others’ experiences of it.

The original Fall Guys pitch deck opened by star-wiping between about eight straight gifs of various HR managers from Durham face-planting dramatically so this is very on point. c/o @brendyc.bsky.social and NEW site Jank jank.cool

Now that I have published this interview with @foddy.net and @gcuzzillo.bsky.social about Baby Steps, maybe I can finally move on with my life and stop thinking about it?? who knows www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Demo launch went very well: Over 5000 downloads, over 1000 wishlists, and a glowing write up in PC Gamer! Also #1 demo on Steam! bsky.app/profile/grey...

I found the ep in PLURIBUS where Carol--white, American--meets 5 non-white, non-American survivors of the hivemind off-putting, but in a way that made me curious to see where Gilligan was going. Now that I have, I wrote about how empire, privilege, genAI, & resistance converge in the show's subtext:

huge progress made today

Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of

A 1986 Japanese guide on how to program using the Family BASIC software for the Famicom features many cute illustrations of Mario and Pauline (known as "Lady" in Japan at the time).

Hey, we played DEATHMATCH ISLAND and then wrote about it! You can and should read our fine, fair words. #ttrpg
