Gearing up for the 10th anniversary of Sublevel Zero on October 8th! In the meantime, here's some classic screenshots from 2015. #indiegames #6dof #roguelike

General vibe and attitude to most things currently:

Great games reyt ont doorstep 💙

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

Starter Kit: First Person Shooter has been updated to @godotengine.org 4.5! ✨ Several tweaks have been made, and a skybox has been added! Instructions now tell you how to add new weapons, or change properties. The project is open-source: github.com/KenneyNL/Sta...

Honestly, frozen chopped onion is a top tier solution for ADHD cooking 👌

Heard a tremendous amount of chirping so looked outside to see BIRDS 🐦‍⬛

Exploring the idea of how games give us perspectives, are there any that have stuck with you? One for me would be Geralt seeing himself through the eyes of a father to a child who has grown up, it's such a stark contrast to his gruff demeanor it makes you really think about parenthood 💙

Honestly, as someone with ADHD who constantly wants to hold on to thoughts for later, this has been sorely missing 🙏

Looking forward to the @playsheffield.bsky.social meet up tonight 😁

Oh to be a sleep bunny 😴

👀 whats all this then?

I recently discovered that Wayne Brady played Aaron Burr in the Chicago production of Hamilton and I'm mad because I didn’t know this info sooner 😅 youtu.be/7QZ-Tw8wgkM?...

Honestly having someone detail their deep knowledge about specific subjects is always excellent 👌

I’m afraid to say this is very attractive. Got to love a passionate nerd. He knows his shit.

Someone is impersonating me on discord with user name greyalien1. Please do not be fooled by them!

Funding a game can be hard, especially if you’re a gender marginalized developer without traditional industry access. This is why our $50K WINGS Elevate Program exists! To help early-stage teams get pitch-ready ✅🔥 Submit by Aug 30! bit.ly/WINGSElevate...

LAST CALL FOR FREE PROMOTION! I'm finalising games for Family Gaming Zone at PAX West and ComicCon London. If you are an indie and have a game on console (old or new) we'd love to get it on our stand for free! Or maybe devs follow you, so do share!

Got the Valve essentials, and a pair of classics 😂

The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out. In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing. Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

We're building an inclusive community of game makers in Sheffield 😁 why not join us for our first event! Find out more in this post:

The UK games industry has had a huge class problem since its inception. Private school kids with generational wealth were first through the door and overwhelmingly hired people from similar backgrounds. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Considering it's recent prevalence, it's ironic that the Games industry is starting to feel like the game "Peak". It's tough, it saps your stamina, and it's far too easy for things to slip at the last minute, however:

I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles. (I don't know who made this image, if you do, let me know so they can be credited)
