So glittery! So nice!

If there's one thing that still disgusts me to this day, is people who push the CD tray back in, instead of pressing the button.
Monsters.

Game concept. Blyatro.
A Russian-themed Balatro clone that doubles down on a cheeki-breeki boi theming. Gopnik humour and dank memes. Playing for cigarettes, bonus points for a good squat, 'corruption' cards where you can break/bypass core rules and systems. F2P ofc!

Thanks Joris! Much love!

So, first day of freedom!

Still job hunting like a mofo, but taking the time to work on myself and my own projects.

Mad gains all around hopefully!

I love you Russell.

There's a fellow designer who I've never worked with, but we've worked for the same companies, who regularly checks out my LinkedIn page.
Like ships in the night or lovers not to be, we wistfully chance a glimpse at eachother's LinkedIn page before fading once more into the night.

It's beautiful.

So the 'ole redundancy gave me a bit of time to get a portfolio website together.

I'm no web developer, but it was nice to get a bit of career info down on a page. Along with some screenshots of the various things I've worked on. Felt nice!

Just realised the worst thing about redundancy, is I'm going to get my own putdowns (formerly used against one of my mates, who was a mature student) used against me by him:

"Get a job".

Karma is a bitch.

Wow. Of course he was!

Chuck McGill (Michael McKean) was Fred in Short Circuit 2? Mind blown, no more input needed!

Thanks bud! Hope you're doing well. BF LABs looks amazing!

What an awesome tool! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mark! After fearfully watching the dumpster fire that is the games industry, it was only a matter of time.

Axyz wishlisted! :) I hope next fest is going well for you!

My posting on here is sporadic, but Bossa is restructuring and unfortunately my role is at risk. So I'm looking for new oppertunities!
I'm based in Guildford so I'm really looking at local jobs or anything that supports fully remote. Lead Designer or Game Director based on proj size! :)

It looks utterly awesome! I can't wait to give it a whirl and make myself some space pizza.

Guildford game dev summit was really good!
I sat in the funding track all day and it felt like I was learning top tier information from legitimate and local sources.
Highly recommend!

Could we employ Ai to scout the internet for screenshots taken containing little indicators that you can swipe to another image. The Ai should then photoshop out the indicators and replace the image.

This is to stop me, as a dumb human. Trying to swipe static screenshots.

I really enjoyed this trailer. The player feedback bubbles make it feel super legitmate too!

What flavour are the new mystery flavour Super Mario Pringles?

After trying them, (with kids), we were surprised that they were so spicy!

But we reckon they're "Spicy meatball" flavour. Which I think is on brand with commercialised Italians!

‘Don’t Get Got’ Mixes ‘Among Us’ With Jumpscare Horror for a Game I Won’t Soon Forget (Hands-on Impressions) After finishing 'Surgeon Simulator', it seems that the team wanted to torture us psychologically with 'Don't Get Got', and I'm here for it.

#DontGetGot already getting some awesome previews. Love this article from Vice:

BAM! There's your entertainment!

DON'T GET GOT on Steam Get the key. Get up to 8 of your friends in trouble. Get out. DON’T GET GOT.

Check out Bossa's new treat! Wishlists appreciated - it's out later today and we'd appreciate any buzz about it!

In unrelated matters, do you think I could expense new underwear?

When playing Unreal tournament at Uni, we were playing off of my copy and pasted installation. My username was Big Dan as there were two Dan's. So then everyone was Big Dan, so I renamed to the OriginalBigDan.

Quite dull really!

Set up a Microsoft account and login for my 5 year old, on a Windows laptop today.

Christ there's so much more bullshit from kids to have to learn/bypass today. From cookie popups, to sticky keys, to touchpad gestures. Eurgh! I'm sure I can turn it all off, but eurgh.

Good luck kid!

Damn! What a horrible shame. Splash Damage + Transformers = An excited Dan!

I just hope the talented people affected by this, can find new work quickly.
