5. The Séance of Blake Manor One of the most engrossing and intriguing detective games I've played, I would highly recommend Blake Manor if you've got an itch for something along the lines of Obra Dinn. Gorgeous artstyle too.

If I were European I would simply solve the heatwave using good old American moxie. But I will not use said moxie to solve the USA's intractable social problems because America is a real country and I am very busy.

Hey fyi @gracklehq.com is run by one extremely good hearted guy, and it’s still the best site for games industry job listings. It has a patreon that he doesn’t advertise because he’s that selfless. You can support it on patreon and/or kofi

The indescribable contradiction of emotion in me as the first cool breeze since dawn drifts blissfully in through the open window…and the neighbours smoke alarm beeps every sixty seconds.

Hey! I'm looking to talk to some game devs who are caretakers (parents or otherwise) about balancing responsibilities for a story at Mothership. If you're open to chatting, pls reach out via DMs here or the email in my bio. Shares appreciated, thanks!

Extraordinary how many undiscovered world experts in climate change, architecture, geology, sociology and infrastructure engineering there are in the comments of anyone suggesting that “just be like the USA” isn’t a great solution for every country with a heatwave, and that it’s quite complicated.

Casting stuff reminds me that not booking is rarely a comment on your talent, almost everyone will be brilliant, they just picked someone more “right” for the role. And that following instructions and being professional means you’re more likely to be invited to the next thing they cast.

Whenever I’m casting voice actors I’m always struck by two things: 1) there’s an incredible amount of talent out there, so many talented VAs. 2) Quite a lot of them don’t read instructions. You don’t need to worry about being good enough, you just need to read what casting directors are asking.

There is ONE thing I am looking forward to this heatwave: Pictures of paschal candles that have melted in churches. Here's an example from a few years ago. It's my favourite phenomenon. Because, well... Look at it.

Me, every time I have to post on Instagram:

Playing through Nighthawks.

Reminder: loads of common medications can affect how well you handle heat! Antidepressants, diuretics, stimulants, and anything that affects your nervous system. Be gentle with yourself and check in with loved ones!

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

LOADS OF PEOPLE DIED IN YOUR PRECIOUS SUMMER OF 1976 YOU DIDN'T JUST "get on with it" AT ALL, YOU NEVER STFU ABOUT IT FOR STARTERS.

Seeing a lot of “the heat only kills the elderly and those with existing conditions, stop complaining” and feeling a familiar sense of disappointment. I don’t know how to explain that you should care about people etc etc but also: we are all people and vulnerable.

If you're a developer (of any size) with a game to share you're welcome to send press releases / keys to my email [email protected] There's no guarantee that everything I play will be featured, but it is a shot at getting featured on the most visited consumer tech publication in the UK!

I’d love to see more applicants for this- if you have recommendations please tag!

I can’t say what it is, but it looks like I may have spoken a role into existence by mentioning that casting type in an interview. I clearly need to say more roles in interviews!

Just finished the Séance of Blake Manor. Another amazing recommendation by @caseyexplosion.bsky.social I couldn't stop playing. I wasn't expecting to be so emotionally affected by a supernatural detective game. A game about solving a disappearance, grief, family, and second chances

Now the Solstice is over I can finally get started on those New Year Resolutions!

“Sigh, Plant Master” one of my favorite lines in Old Skies.

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

This game is full of morally grey choices. No goodies. No baddies. Like, you can choose to side with the eco-terrorist Skypirates rebels or you can join the Obsidian Conclave and serve the Exterminatrix Prime.

Six years ago a Choices Matter game called Over the Alps released. Stave was formed to make it, it became an Apple Arcade launch title, and it won a few awards. Part of that team went on to Tributary, and when Stave closed we couldn't just let it vanish. So... Re-introducing, OVER THE ALPS! 🧵

Hello new influx of followers! I’m a British voice actor and game writer, purveyor of terrible puns, and general Bluesky cliche. Here’s my voice reel: bsky.app/profile/sall...
