A great opportunity for the right person here!

*checks Eurostar immediately*

Holiday time

Update: 70+ hours later I am finally at the end of Act One... I think? I also have a glorious Khmer empire that rules the world with an iron fist (tanks, so many tanks).

Shoutout to Andrew Latherton AKA @tailoredsoundtracks.com, joining the UK Games Composers site. Some cool demos up on youtube / itch.io from his website 😎🎵 UK Games Composers directory: gamescomposers.co.uk

Very happy to say I will be helping attendees min-max their widsom stat, as the host of SXSW London's "Gaming & Interactive Worlds" track. Looking forward to helping celebrate games alongside the very best of the creative industries as part of the week long festival! www.sxswlondon.com @sxsw.com

I regret to inform everyone who had worked really hard on all these new games, but I am currently locked in to the unshakeable grip of both Civ 6 and Baldur's Gate 3.

The ol' charity shop Straight Flush

One of the things I most love about game dev is about how when you start there is nothing and then... there's a whole new place that starts to exist. All these worlds and environments and characters that come to life. I honestly still find it kind of magical.

I have the house to myself tonight, so playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time. I know the controls are *meant* to be a bit gnarly, but... anyway, so far I have killed six majestic beasts 🥲

I would take Windows Vista again over this.

Currently playing Silent Hill: Falmouth

I have been cursed with that most dreaded of transports: the rail replacement bus

Had a brilliant couple of days in Hull at From Player To Page, helping teach kids and teachers from local schools all about the games industry and the many kinds of writing and literacy skills involved! 👋 @coreybrotherson.bsky.social 👋 @dreadpiratekhan.bsky.social 👋 @scottishhannah.bsky.social

I am very much in Hull

Evange-lion

Excited to learn whether Shinji finally gets in the robot* *I have not seen Evangelion. I have no idea what this really means.

Really looking forward to being up in Hull for a couple of days this week, as part of From Player To Page's great event championing games as a literary form for young people, alongside these v. cool people! If you're around there's a nice social after too >> www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/devs-after...

I feel like at least one other language must have a word for the feeling of learning about the existence of new amazing-looking games every day and knowing you'll never have chance to get round to them all. 🥲

I once received a surprise hi-five from Sarah Bond.

LinkedIn is wild

A Doom trivia I did not know!

I'm v. hype to be working on the upcoming Game Music Festival, but particularly about the concert on 19th June with @awintory.bsky.social and Troy Baker, who will be composing an original game score LIVE 😵🎮🎵 gamemusic.net/events/the-a... @gamemusicpl.bsky.social

Who in their right mind sets their weekly calendar as starting on Sunday rather than Monday

This is just such a tremendous achievement

This is indeed great, but it's being absolutely hammered out on YouTube. It's 90% of my recommendations. Or maybe just me and my friends are all suckers for micro-tonal cosplay big-nose math rock.

Strange how in the vast galactic data nebula this put me in closest proximity to fellow games Buxtonian @stepickford.bsky.social 🌌

Watching the wrestling and 🤔

A thing of beauty. But also sadly, not mine. 🥲

Tempting.

Who says it's not currently installed

Very cool to see Immortality's wonderful / terrifying Charlotta Mohlin enlisting back into games with a suitably badass role, alongside the OG Johnny Rico himself no less! I would like to know more, yes please ✋ www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qgi...

Reader, I had a great time

On my way into that London and looking forward to catching up with many friends 😉🎵

I have a very busy day, but at least 15% of my brain will not stop thinking about getting on with this map. Turns out making games is 𝖺̶𝖽̶𝖽̶𝗂̶𝖼̶... very compelling.

Not posted it in a while, here's a reminder about the UK Games Composers directory and some of the cool things you can do with it 🤩 From famous names to new kids on the block 👀 Contact deets 🎮 Socials 🎵 Portfolio / music links Go find and follow your favourite game composers! gamescomposers.co.uk

I am supposed to have left the house 30 minutes ago but unfortunately I also accidentally installed Ultimate Doom Builder today

Pretty sure we can all agree that acquiring Social Media should be -3 era score, even if you achieved it by 1716 AD.

Last night's DOOM endeavours.

Very happy to be working on @gamemusicpl.bsky.social's mighty Game Music Festival, happening in London in June. So what better than to have a suitably heroic lunch with one of their finest records! 🎵🎮💖

Distracted by DOOMing again. This one's done!

Great to see Chris Bryant MP speaking at Pocket Gamer Connects

Kicking off my hosting duties at #PGConnects Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit, introducing Josh Chapman from Konvoy speaking about the expansion of games tech into the wider economy.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood II

The Ukie office, circa several years ago

V..e..r..y.. s..l..o..w..l..y... on my way to #PGConnects, via the very British misery of several cancelled trains, with a very appropriate festive coffee that is also running several weeks late

Back on the DOOM editor again 🤘

Remember, pals: Friday night is an ideal time to play that DOOM map you like the look of.
