How to choose - A convention in Sweden has been playing the same game of King of the Castle annually every single year since launch, multiple tattoos, and a number of baffling family trees

As I put the finishing touches to my talk for #developbrighton, I'm looking for stories from developers, of the most exceptional or outlandish things that players have done to show their love for your game. Was it unhinged fan art, multi-volume fanfic, tattoos, themed weddings..?! #gamedev

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com #heatwave

Little bit emotional this one - the first ever game I made as an indie has been re-released and finally finished with its last bit of content after 6 years. Go give it a spin, it was my entire world for many years. Full credit to the superb team who worked on it. Go look through those credits!

Boxroom is coming out on the 11th (tomorrow)! It’s been in release limbo for nearly a month through zero fault of the devs, and from experience that can rough up a game launch. So please, support a fellow indie, give them your support and shout about it!!! store.steampowered.com/app/4335460/...

RIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.

Someone is about to call you

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist

💰THE OUTERSLOTH CONTRACT 💰 We just released the FULL contract and terms that all our games sign! We hope this challenges the status quo of what you see out there. In a nutshell: 💸 Pre-recoup 50/50 💸 Post-recoup 15/85 💸 Terms after 7 years www.innersloth.com/the-outerslo...

looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh

Look out! EXPELLED has fallen to its lowest ever price as a Steam Daily Deal - this window won’t last long so strike it while it’s too Good to be True!

GDC is not real, it can't hurt you

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (1999). Criminally underrated game.

Two of my interests collide... and I miss my Amiga.

If you've never read it, check it out, as you're in for a treat. Wonderfully told, sumptuously drawn and deeply moving.

You shouldn't be allowed to be a conspiracy theorist if you've never done an office move

kickstarter.com/projects/punkzilla/combo-devils Its been an insane journey but we finally made it here. Spread the word if this is your jam! Help us make our dream a reality. Thank you!! #ComboDevils #ComboDevilsKickstarter

Sto Lat-ass post

Very proud to be working with Alex & his team, and eager to show folk what they've been brewing up.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

As the son of a librarian, it's very, very hard for me to put a book in the trash. It's just wrong on a fundamental level. Stuff goes for donation no matter what. However, when I found a Scott Adams book (a gift from my dad 30 years ago) while packing up to move, I made an exception.

100% truth, worth a read.
