YOU - What is beauty? KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - “When you have the fewest deviations from the norm. I've been told it's a type of mediocrity that I possess.”

My boxing gym is a very working class, male, Essex-y space and most people are super nice but today a guy said "You punch like a girl" to his sparring partner followed by, "Pardon the pun." Sometimes snobbery is OK, actually.

I released my first commercial game at age 30. This is a lame take.

what a TITLE 🖤

I'd rather eat glass.

Are you releasing a video game this week? I'm looking for games to feature in this week's Video Games Industry Memo and open to tips 🙏

I Write Games Not Tragedies - a narrative-rhythm game about British emo/goth subcultures from the early 2000s, with original music - has launched on itchio today. (Support it on itchio)

📣 I Write Games Not Tragedies, précédemment sorti sur Steam, est maintenant disponible sur Itchio : 🔗 studiowife.itch.io/i-write-game...

Acknowledgement from one of the greats of Narrative Tooling!! 👑 Thank you for the shout out Pixel Crushers, everyone should look into the Dialogue System for all of their #narrativedesign needs 🪶

Ah! Itsuki san as usual is wonderfully supportive and helps me be better: the itch page mistakenly said “available for PC and Mac.” This is not yet true! As of now, there is NO Mac version on itch but we plan to change that very soon!! What can I say, real indies make mistakes pls forgive 🙈🙈💜💜💜

翻訳を担当した『I Write Games Not Tragedies 叫べ青春』がitch.ioでもリリースされたそうです。人生のある時期とエモを丁寧に掘り下げた胸熱ビジュアルノベルです。Macユーザー/非Steamユーザーの方もこの機会にぜひ！！！

Massive news! "I Write Games Not Tragedies" is now out on @itch.io!! We're real indies now guys 🤘🤘🖤 #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev studiowife.itch.io/i-write-game...

A Unity editor? Showing something... new? I don't wanna say "we're so back" but 🤞 #indiedev

This is one of the best lines in the game.

Making my first Steam build since December. Kinda nostalgic in a traumatising way 🥹

Listened to a podcast that disparagingly reviewed TR49 as a short story which I thought was a bit odd because, short stories are in fact great, and it absolutely is one.

Coming soon is The Bluntly Big Weekender 🎮 A two-day charity livestream in support of LOOK UK ❤️ 📅 Sat 21st – Sun 22nd Feb 🎮 FC26 | WWE 2K25 | Gears of War and more Donation milestones unlock forfeits including the ultimate punishment: Wobbles going bald. link in next post

I’ll be teaching a game writing workshop in Suffolk later this month! Thanks Game Anglia for this lovely opportunity 😊 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/setting-th...

The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality: On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing. On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9

I'm revisiting some really old IWGNT code (like from the version we did for uni) to implement a new feature and it's SO BAD 🙈 It would almost be inspiring how much better I've gotten at #programming, only now I have to wade through this spaghetti cesspit 😭 #gamedev

Environmental storytelling: Chingford on Friday night. Truly a rich text.

Fine I’ll learn the damn game engine 😡

Making AI adult content of someone without their consent is assault. This includes celebrities. This includes bikini pics. We need better legislation yesterday, and we CANNOT normalise this. It is assault. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

accidentally introduced a bug to the game where all the text got replaced with "you"

"The game takes pride in its ability to capture the beating heart of a phase that defined an entire country." Chuffed that Gaming.net saw the grandiosity of my ambition _and_ gave our #indiegame an 8/10 😎 www.gaming.net/reviews/i-wr...

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Oops I made a substack and wrote 2000 very personal words about “I Write Games Not Tragedies,” seasonal depression, the carol “O Holy Night,” and just… my whole game dev journey. That’s me done for 2025 now. See you on the other side 💜 open.substack.com/pub/juliamas...

Oh dear I recorded this podcast very sleep deprived post release and post Slush. The guys are super nice but I’m kinda scared to find out what I said 🙈

What’s interesting about this is when I went to write what I wanted to say (yes I’m reading from a script lol), I realised I can no longer type in Japanese on a computer. I’ve lost the muscle memory. I used my phone and I was SLOW. Interesting what stays and what goes! #japanese #languagelearning

I'm glad you had a great time! 🥰 I had an exceptional time! Such a roller coaster of emotions and a story well told with very important messages! Thank you so much & best of luck with this amazing release! A lot of love has gobe into this- you can tell! ❤️
