Heading off to the Games Aid Karting. Check out the livestream and cheer on team Furious Bee! 🐝 www.youtube.com/live/ipaKtRU...

It’s nearly time for the annual Gamesaid charity karting. Keep an eye out for Team Furious Bee. www.youtube.com/live/ipaKtRU...

Watching the Jimmy Kimmel monologue on YouTube. 4.5m views in just over 5 hours. So that particular move worked out nicely, huh?

Sat in an NHS walk in centre, waiting to see someone about my kidney stone that has decided to kick off. It’s going to be a boring yet painful day.

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

35 years ago today, this was where it all began for me. #gamedev

Ah Botosushi. Once more we dance.

Just played through the playtest levels for this bad boy. It's an absolute delight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX8Q...

Happy Tron: Ares Soundtrack Day to those who celebrate it.

"Be the first or be the best" is a decent adage for any creative endeavour, such as #gamedev Make sure your game or feature is so innovative that it has never been seen before or ensure that it is better executed than the industry leader.

The pain! The pain that only comes from realising that you missed bin day yesterday and not only is your bin full, but the bin men aren't coming again for another 2 weeks...

For all the husbands out there. This little fella has been sat in an old ice cream tub full of bits and bobs. Why hasn’t it ever been thrown out? Because today I’m dismantling a bed and this is PRECISELY the tool I needed to do so. #vindication

This may be the single greatest and most appropriate gif I've ever seen. Gif creator person - I salute you.

Ooh. Close to 800 followers. Of course, I'm probably way more excited about that little fact than you.

Clearing out one of mum’s old desk drawers. Judging by the office address and job title, I’d say this bad boy is from about ‘91. #gamedev

Ladies and gentlemen- we have a winner

Me, increasingly on a daily basis. #gamedev

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

When I was about 5 or 6 years in, the head of finance for the company proudly proclaimed that they could "get anyone off the street to do your job." They were wrong. Now, though, the message is back only this time it's "Thanks to AI" They're still wrong.

You know what improves workflow and processes? Expertise and experience. Not AI.

I’ve had an idea. Let’s start referring to this as ‘The year of GenAI’ - that ought to nix it good and proper.

Here's a game that's positively loaded with mechanics. Tetris. Deck Building. Resource Management. Rogue-like. store.steampowered.com/app/2525310/... Should they all be in the same game? Probably not. Does it seem to work anyway? Yup.

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩 This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace. www.ludipe.com/2025/08/18/i...

My favourite thing about this piece is that Little Chef are apparently financially secure enough to become a title sponsor for a racing team.

I used to be able to remember phone numbers. I can definitely see instances when that particular ability would be useful once more.

That other video was great and all but you also had to listen to Sean and Russ offering up their accounts of the time as well. If that was too good for you, there's a version that is just My Bits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdEz... #gamedev #retro

I have a new job. This means: * An income! Yay! * Less time to work on things like 2 Delve 2 Deep. Boooo! But I really do need the income, so please bear with me. #indiedev

Am I really the kind of person that can't get two Nintendo Switches to connect in a game of Minecraft on the LAN? Yes. Yes I am.

Today I cut down a tree. Might be the most manly thing I've ever done in my life.

Just because I don't particularly want to look at, download or create #NSFW games doesn't mean I should prevent you from doing so, if that's your bag. Are there some people that shouldn't be able to access these things? Yes. Do controls already exist for that? Also yes.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2o1... The video is up. It's an epic one. Also, it's worth pointing out that it's not just me, rehashing all the old stories you've heard before - although there is some of that too. Great to hear Russ as well. What a legend. #gamedev #retro

www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2o1... Check this out. Well, not right now as it's not out yet. But in a couple of days it will be. Still if Mr Shaw's music doesn't get the old blood pumping, I don't know what will. #gamedev #retro (ouch)

Check out all the indie games over on the @brilliantindietreasures.com website brilliantindietreasures.com/2025-games-s...

I call this one the 'Claw of Explanation' @tomnullpointer.bsky.social @sam.apparance.uk #indiedev

Strong gender reveal vibes from the #fifacwc

Well, it works and people seem to be enjoying it. The notebook is filling up nicely with things to fix too. #gamedev

All set up @brilliantindietreasures.com Hope to see you there #gamedev #dungeoncrawler #procgen

Let’s goooooo!

Yearly tilt at the @gamesaid.bsky.social poker. Ship it!

Report. Holy shit, this thing tastes nice. Sounds terrible. Tastes nice. Get on it.

What I should be doing: Packing for Brighton and Develop. What I'm actually doing: Some last minute tweaks to the build. What's the worst that could happen? #gamedev #indiedev

I can guarantee that no 'AI' is being used to make my game. In addition, it turns out only a very small amount of regular 'I' is being used as well. #gamedev #indiedev #videogame #dungeoncrawler

Thinking about the glory days of old videogame magazines. With no internet or social media, the journos within were like rock stars - you knew their names (which, thanks to some truly abysmal accreditation practices in the industry was more than could be said for most devs).

Added an attract mode so the game doesn't just sit there on the title screen if no-one is playing. That means I've had to cobble together a trailer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu3D... #gamedev #dungeoncrawler #procgen

2 Delve 2 Deep will be shown @brilliantindietreasures.com next week. Pro - name appears early in any alphabetical list of games Con - people might think it's a sequel (it's not) Uh oh - that logo (such as it is) is hella dark and needs to stand out way more. Here's v2.0. #gamedev #dungeoncrawler

Starting the new hairdo process for Develop next week. Note - the rainbow things are just in the window behind me. Still…

Looked up the Vizcom thing. Best I can figure from their website and videos is that this thing is absolutely perfect for the 'keep showing me things and I'll tell you when I like it' style directors. You know the ones - the ones that are categorically the worst to work for.
