Every photo I take is done practically with very little digital work, using household items to create special effects like cotton wool for fire & foil for water. Each set is meticulously set up for just the one scene then dismantled so I can set up another scene. Thanks for helping me keep going.

This all under the worst right-wing government, while the UK, with Labour on, is still managing to be more oppressive and made even waving a flag illegal

This is really sad, Carpe Fulgur did a lot of good helping small Japanese developers find success in the West with their fantastic work, I still smile thinking about Recettear.

The team had the pleasure of chatting with @maezza.bsky.social yesterday! She generously shared her insights on community management, engagement, and building positive spaces in games. Huge thanks to Maezza for her time and expertise!🙌

It's going to be bad

The Infiltrator gets an updated look! We've polished up the player model to be on par with the other NPCs. The idea is to make the other skins available for selection in the full release (with additional looks available later). #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Bitmap Bureau doing an incredible looking Terminator game AND He-Man?! Looks gorgeous, and I loved the clear nods to Golden Axe in it

Congratulations to Digital Foundry in going 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒌𝒆 👏👏👏

You: wants sleek, modern UIs Me: Wants a big honkin' dragon sitting on the menu for no particular reason.

I'm conflicted about this, people are acting like the whole thing is AI generated but it took the work of hundreds of people, they re-scored it with an orchestra, they re-did all the shots on a sphere-mapped environment. it's a PR mistake to hide a lot of human work behind the AI buzzword

There’s a new plaque on the wall of a small building in Ashby de la Zouch …. Legendary

Sometimes big companies slip up and their soulless, ghoulish nature comes into full display, this is one of those times. Only a soulless corporate ghoul would re-brand a games company to look like this

Holding a flashlight in first person horror games: which one feels like the right one for you? left or right?

spotted at Sainsbury's. Haven't seen stuff like this since the dot-com bubble 25 years ago, it's when even marketing for stuff like random-shit-wine tries to get into the AI bandwagon that you know you have a bubble about to burst.

Latest pickups for my CRPGs library: a copy of Rogue, Temple of Apshai Trilogy and Deathlord, this last one seems to be a severely underrated game for the Apple II, and I'm in love with that cover art

I'm in Brighton and the vibe is

Programming has never been easier to learn and accessible and yet the length people go to avoid learning some basic skills is astounding

I'll be at Develop with some of my team! Hoping to see many known faces but also at least as many new ones!

My shitposting predates social media by decades. :)

Lmao Minecraft's original code is in java and looks like shit, at least gatekeep properly

apple UI designer at WWDC25: "the motion of liquid is something we all have an intuitive feel for" me, inexplicably starting a mini tsunami just by lifting a glass of water up: "uuh, sure"

controversial opinion: that's actually good & you should stop idolizing the same few figures in the industry

I have many friends at both Hangar 13 and Stormind, and I've been waiting years for them to unveil this, this is so cool. So many faces and places I know in this video. Now I'm feeling homesick more than ever... youtu.be/amarmiKaV2w

"Others familiar with the project told me that EA executives were frustrated that the game had not yet left the pre-production phase after nearly four years in development". This is the real issue, I've seen this all over past 2020, letting a project run in pre-production for 4 years is not normal

ok I have a funny story about how stuff like this can happen and go unnoticed until release and why you should NEVER use art you don't own even as placeholder. During the development of Gears of War 4 someone added several Bob Ross' paintings as textures in the game, no one noticed for months... 1/3

We're FOUR days away from full launch! store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/... Already "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam! 🏆 Know any streamers or YouTubers who loves games like XCOM 2, Shadowrun, Invisible Inc., Wasteland, or any tactical RPGs?Please spread the word! #TurnBasedThursday #Gaming

Saw this during the Revision 2025 live stream and I couldn't believe it

Subtly nerdy home decorations, if you get these, we should be friends.

It's #randomgamesaturday so let me pick my entry. It's *drumrolls* Head Buster from the Sega Game Gear! This one's hard but really fun. Build your team of mechas and go bust some heads in many, many scenarios. It's by NCS and Masaya so you know the robots look cool

can't believe this game made me do this

I hope no one thought Claire Obscur was an indie game, you have to pay a 30+ person team somehow, it's still not cheap. This is not an indie endeavor, but to me it shows what I've been thinking for years: most AAA team are bloated, full of office politicians and incredibly inefficient

SO YOU'VE BEEN LAID OFF BY A VIDEO GAMES PUBLICATION (It's going to be okay! We've all been there!): Has your workplace been taken over by some sort of content farm fuckboi capitalist? It's time for a new career! A few thoughts from one who has been there many times over.

Creatures of the night, what beautiful sound they make

ok, for no reason but just because I think it's neat here's a thread of famous people with old gaming hardware or old computers. big 90s and Y2K vibes. Let's start with Shakira, Halle Berry and Bjork using a desktop computer

Me and my new team will hang out and play arcades at the Devs Arcade Night and I can't wait to meet other devs, if you're in London the 9th of May go get a ticket here: www.eventbrite.com/e/devs-arcad... only a few left!

If you want to listen to me gush about a game from 1991 for 20 minutes head over the Fun&Games Podcast here as I'm hosting the latest episode of Side Quests over there:

The GAME (think gamestop for UK) store nearby is closing down and it looks depressing, now it's your chance to buy a guide to NFTs at 20% off though!

Nice to see a game from Bullfrog in Black Mirror, although it seems to have scored less in that timeline

literally unplayable

It's time for a proper announcement! I'm making a new London-based indie studio with some of my ex-Splash Damage colleagues. And we're already at work on our first game! You can follow us here:

In further "I swear, my generation didn't actively try to pull the ladder up behind us, there are just way fewer opportunities available these days" news, I splurged some thoughts which got in here. #FPS #GameDev #Wolfenstein www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ne...

PSA: you can repair the old, decaying rubber of PSOne controllers with PS4 replacement sticks, this one I just finished modding now features a pair of aluminium sticks and works perfectly (next thing to fix is to reinforce the cable)

the SaGa Frontier II remaster is out and it looks like garbage... one of the prettiest looking PSX games reduced to a weird mix of badly upscaled graphics and raw pixel sprites here's a screenshot from the remake and ones from emulated psx with a crt shader

Alex is making a series of videos on the peculiar situation the game industry is in, this one in particular highlights the experience of colleagues in different studios with a clever jenga-tower example. Give him a follow if you're interested in game design or the industry in general!

I'm vibe coding today, a.k.a. I'm coding while listening to Love Exchange Failure youtu.be/DQ7Od-9l6Aw

Going for an era-appropriate playlist on my PC while I troubleshoot an og PlayStation tonight
