While all the Animal Crossing games have their strengths and weaknesses, Wild World remains my favourite. Largely due to the time of my life it fell in, but it's also the chunky graphic textures, the mild unhinged interactions (and rudeness!), and the simplicity youtu.be/OM33TiQKl7I?...

This looks absolutely delightful. Play a post-plague era peasant in England, seeking revolution 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/thr...

If you're in the giving spirit and have some free time soon, go through the games you've played and give them a review, it means a lot to Devs 🥹💖

Despite being all over the place this year, I apparently still made a poo-load of time for gaming! @gogotowngame.com @onyourtail.games @kaizengameworks.com @505games.com

Thanks for the call out, Monzo 🥲

As 2025 winds down, I realise I'm carrying more unprocessed feelings about the year than I expected. When structures change or disappear, it can leave a strange void: burnout, reflection, and noticing how quietly effort/recognition fades. No drama, just recalibration. Got a new hat today, though!

This is a really cool thing to check out 👀 If you like HB and want to see cool things coming to HB before others do ... well, nows your chance

If you missed our segment in @dayofthedevs.org today, here’s @jkooza.bsky.social and some of his pals talking about what awaits you in #AWAYSIS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4sN... #indiedev #gamedev

Its live! Go check out Awaysis! 🤩

Found this excellent bit of street art 🥹

Been a delightfully high abv night

A lot has happened in the last few days but I can least juggle it all from the comfort of my very teal new setup 👀

Happy birthday to the industries most loveable scamp, also wishlist Wax Heads

The #AGDAs25 Winner For Excellence in Accessibility is... Tempopo by Witch Beam

Its finally here! Check-in is open at Hotel Barcelona 😘 This is without a doubt the bloodiest title Ive worked on, been an absolute pleasure to assit @swery65.bsky.social & the White Owls team on getting this out to the world 😁

Soothing my brain with a wee quad

It's happening! It's happening! 🥹

"So you've driven a car before, right?" "Course I 'ave" #Cyberpunk2077 #Switch

One of the most adorable titles I've worked on to date 😅

Please consider watching "Takopi's Original Sin". The show warns at the start of each episode about its themes of suicide, but even that just scratches the surface. An incredibly well written tale over 6 episodes about connections and toxic relationships, and I cried alot youtu.be/j7dxZjwIhu0?...

It's vitally important I spend my day testing the new update 👀

An actual image, from the BBC 😭 Doing a segment on retro gaming, they set up this display and I don't understand how whoever tried to shove a NES cart in there didn't realise it didn't fit 🥺 share.google/g0u6jua7eEEQ...

TIL that the 3rd Fast and Furious film, "Tokyo Drift" made the least money, like, awkwardly so - grossing half of the next least, "2 Fast 2 Furious" I feel this is a huge injustice, given it is the _best_ of the entire franchise. www.boxofficemojo.com/franchise/fr...

Can I come over and stare at you like this?

Brand thoughts incoming: I deeply desire the ability and space to build things with quality and purpose that will last like the Roman lime clast concrete of the Pantheon, but our capitalistic pace and culture demand the aerated concrete that’s crumbling all across British public infrastructure.

Taking time to check out a new demo each day this week! Todays pick was "Rue Valley" and holy poop, this is incredible. Trapped in a time loop, an unreliable narrator, trying to learn more about whats happening while mentally breaking - definitely my jam. store.steampowered.com/app/2126190/...

I mean, if you've got the skills, why not enter...? store.steampowered.com/app/2286600/...

We've just announced a next-level physics-based Dungeon Brawler! ⚔️ Jump, slide, and collide around an ever-shifting world. Brawl, loot and meet weirdos. Dive into the Awaysis soon on Xbox Series X, Playstation 5 & PC!

Looky-looky!

YouTube Music perfectly capturing me in one pic 🥹

#IndieAssemble is in full swing, and AETHUS is right there in the mix! Check it out on #Steam today and don't forget to hit that Wishlist button! 👍 store.steampowered.com/app/2541530?... #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #Gaming

I wish Steam opened up their support platform for us (devs/publishers) to take issues from the community. Be ace if a player had the ability to quickly raise an issue rather than have to post to Discussions or default to giving a bad review (both of which can be hard to monitor) when they hit issues

You’re doing enough. More than enough. Even when it feels like the whole world is asking for one more thing.

PROMISE MASCOT AGENCY OUT NOW!! ⛩️🙀🛻 Crying tofu! Severed pinkies! Yakuza mystery!! Recruit mascots and make their dreams come true in this WILD open world creature management RPG @kaizengameworks.com #openworldgame #adventuregame #mascots

Skype is finally shuttering! This was the staple for a large chunk of my work life. RIP big man, gone but not forgotten.

One time, a dev was praising me so much after we shipped that I had to pretend the doorbell had interrupted the call so I could step away briefly and stop myself from crying.

The quote that gives me positive strength, from Terry Pratchett's "Wintersmith", text in alt:

Now that we can talk about it... we also made a Music Sequencer in Tempopo!!! @moonspod.com is just so damn good at making these too 👀 #IndieDev

I can't believe it's been 2 years since Crime Boss released? It feels conversely both a decade ago _and_ just last month 😅

One time I accidentally subbed an XB build that I meant to push to sandbox (first time trying to do it), and it passed.

Repost with a movie you know all the lines to 👀

One time my boss called me out in a stand-up for browsing a website, as my PC case polished side panel was reflecting my screen on camera. I was viewing Eurogamer or similar, and one of the side adverts showed some tshirts, to which my boss interrupted the meeting to say, "Get the white one Oli"

The ideal Sunday afternoon for me at the moment: a charming brewery, good beer, and peace and quiet 🥹

The "I'm doing several submissions at once" starter kit

In between sorting out several releases, dealing with a killer headache, and general stress, I have been falling in love with @onyourtail.games! Its been awhile since a new game has hooked me up and had me keen to keep playing late into the night - definitely recommend, its scratching my NitW itch

I am working on my presentation for the @atlanticconf.bsky.social about marketing in videogames This is one of the slides. It could be the only one

This day, 10 years ago! Doesn't feel it's been that long. "He never forgot. He just put the memories away, like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart." GNU Terry Pratchett

I am loving the Suikoden remaster, with its many improvements, but Im not sure Ill forgive the loc team for replacing Viktor's infamous line, "Black rune, pink balloon!" I get they wanted to polish things, but some things could have stayed the same, especially when they left some real cringe in 🥹

Not only am I super excited for the Suikoden remaster to drop this week, it's also been announced that it's getting an anime too 🥹 youtu.be/gu0ifD3jEF0?...

Ubisoft pushed through achievements on the steam version of Watch Dogs last month. This has resulted in apparently me being one of the 1.8% to complete the opening mission apparently 😅
