I am gonna be at Develop!! please say hi to me, Im kicking about for all 3 days and I am always down to connect with new people and chat over coffee/food/beer/etc. I am available for project work so if you're someone in need of a techy art person for techy art things then hmu 😎

Nerd confession: I have posters with logical fallacies and cognitive biases up in my office, and I tend to stand in front of them since I like to pace when I'm thinking. It's helpful being reminded of biases that I'm susceptible to, especially when I'm feeling anxious. Highly recommend.

The Queen's Gondola is OUT NOW! Come play this free game where a small team of 4 have tried to create the cozy horror equivalent of anomaly-meets-hide-and-seek game. We made this in less than 3 months as part of a lay off procedure! Uhh, hire us? Check it: store.steampowered.com/app/4789900/...

Happening in 20 mins, see you folks in a bit!!

It's nearly time for my annual rewatch of Battlestar Galactica

I took a Mass Communications Diploma at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and part of the requirements was getting an Apple iBook. For whatever reason, the iBooks had Marble Blast on them, so for at least a good month you would see full lecture halls of students playing marble blast. Good times.

Business development in games isn’t about pitching left and right. It’s listening, spotting opportunities, building relationships before you desperately need them. Respecting your peers. Most deals don’t start with a pitch deck. They start with trust, which you have to earn by showing you care.

Firm tofu dipped in some cornflour mixed with chicken salt and turmeric is today’s side dish to Ayam Masak Minyak and white rice. Look at that colour! 😋

There are some lovely reviews for The Ouroboros Express but these ones really speak to me

You can tell me secrets, I will forget them.

Delightful!!

My face too expressive, help.

Quickly taking a picture before I start melting ☀️

If you've met me IRL, I might have given you one of my business cards. With Develop:Brighton just around the corner, I think it's a good time to add to the collection. But what magical item could complement the set? 🤔 Guess we'll just have to bump into each other to find out! See ya at devvy b✨

For this Father's Day weekend, my minigame-narrative-memoir-ish game Bundle of Joy will be 50% off. BoJ attempts to capture the lovely and difficult changes that happen when you become a parent. So gift it to a new Dad, hopefully it'll make them feel seen. store.steampowered.com/app/3138370/...

I'll be attending @developconference.com and apart from melting, will be free to chat about how we could work together in a full-time or freelance capacity to support Marketing, Comms, PR & Brand needs. I'll be carrying multiple fans with me, so that's another excuse to see me😁

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Messing around with a new watercolour toolset last night.

Sucks that this 64 year old Rocky & Bullwinkle joke still hits now

Snailcow naps are the best 😴 A small illustration of the characters from Heartwood Village, the game I’m producing for @pandacatgames.bsky.social! Nice to draw again after a while, been in a bit of a rut. Hope to draw and share more soon ✨ #indiedev #illustration

My @narrascope.org talk is today at 11:15 and I’m very excited and maybe a little nervous. Got to Albany last night and it was so nice seeing so many friends (and making new ones) right away. I’ll be sharing my slides publicly after the talk! narrascope.org/schedgrid/#a...

I was inspired by #manifestojam2026 but i'm afk for most of today, so I made this on my phone. Thinking about being a person in the games industry and a creative.

an important skill, when directing a project, is to be able to imagine what the finished product will look like before it has been made

Seeing myself on video though

Making lunch to the sounds of:

So tired of blacking out every full moon when I really want to stay up and help the townsfolk hunt for the werewolf

Overhead in Salisbury a very posh older lady to her friends in a conspiratorial tone: “Have you heard about the feet thing?”

It’s Jadzia now, thanks.

Happy pride from Porygon everyone. This was a real conversation.

Oof. Permission to be a little vulnerable here. I’ve been quietly Going Through It™ recently. Doing some writing and planning and I’m flipping through old journal entries - I still have these days but I’ve found having a journal to get the thoughts out of my mind onto paper is really helpful.

Finished Golden Idol & looking for something similar? I put together 5 game recs, from indie gems to an upcoming game from 1 of Golden Idol's designers. Feat @eviltrout.com, @timsheinman.bsky.social, @kinigames.bsky.social, @inkle.co www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ri... @flatfootsandfools.bsky.social

I was watching Ted Lasso clips this morning and got really emotional, and then I decided I wasn’t emotional enough so I watched some clips from the Forks episode of The Bear 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
