🎃Happy Halloween🎃

I played egg for an hour... I'm a different person now. (Games that let you cheat jump multiple sections are rad)

Can't believe Hanshin v SoftBank was what got me to sub to Hulu... Baseball of all things! The world is truly coming to an end indeed 😅

Oh boy, why am I totally ok with this.

Finally finished the entire interview piece by Design Room on Shadow of the Colossus 20th. It's an absolutely wonderful piece, Matt carrying on his long form legacy is worth throwing a few bucks a month at for sure 👍

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Not sure how to articulate - but, the best piece of advice I could give is to make games with heart. The ol' "go with what you know" is super important, as it allows you to delve into really meaningful, genuine stuff that comes across to players without them even knowing why. It's the secret sauce.

Talking of Persona 4, here's my rough, quick and dirty guide to making a track with ✨Persona vibes✨ With a weird squeaky voice 'cos I was getting over a cold

Starting playing Ball X Pit... yup. We are just monkey brains.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Awaiting Asian Kung Fu Generation to start. The last one on the bucket list of Japanese bands I grew up with to watch live. Took 10 years of living here, but knocking them and Kana Boon out in one stroke this evening. 14 year old Liam would be very proud 👍

Great to see @liambme.bsky.social represented at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show

👀 What's this, aye? XBOX Ally Y in the TANUKI House.

Oh god 🥹🥹🥹

Suckered into the hype... Just can't resist a good (hopefully) Pokémon game 😅

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

I spent all game in the LINE group, but just popped over here to say that was absolutely tremendous, and though the quality of Japan's three goals didn't match that of Brazil's two, they fought back superbly and deserved to win. Japan 3-2 Brazil. Give me a woof.

FULL TIME Japan 3-2 Brazil In their 14th meeting, the student has beaten the teacher. A truly historic result for the Japanese game against an opponent it has sought to match on the pitch for more than half a century.

What a game! To beat Brazil & in a pretty entertaining way, come on lads.

3-2!!!! OH MY DAYS. Let's go! 🇯🇵

Oh my gooooooddneessss Japan 2-2!

LETS GO THOMAS! 😊

Found a copy of Stuff at the airport and always nice to see your work in print, and great when I get to spotlight cool indies this way

Huge congrats to Dylan, Baiyon and everyone @q-games.com on the release of Dreams of Another! Some of the tech going on in this is wild.

Damn, Battle Suit Aces has been blowing up and I just happened to have the pleasure of meeting @trinketeric.bsky.social in a bar tonight. Don't let anyone ever say otherwise, working in games is rad 👍

I am in.

Haha it certainly is very hard to not be cynical at the moment... but, what people are interested in design wise (as consumers) comes in waves imo. Bonk.

lmao

Not to completely play devil's advocate... but, $30 should have been the price from the start. A premium service, that offers games that retail at $40/50/60/70+ at "anytime", "anywhere", "no restrictions" pricing wouldn't have tanked the game economy of "how much is a game worth" for half a decade.

I barely check socials of any form these days (for obv reasons), slowly moving to the offline life entirely. However, each time I come to BSky @ack.bsky.social page is something I have found myself always going to, to catch up on their posts. Super fun, passionate and insightful 👍
