We're giving you something you didn't know you wanted. Agent K has been fantastic to develop. He's a very good boy and can run wherever you need him to be at any time. Fill your deck with pets and treats - he deserves it!

Pls show us your dogs 🥺 you can be in to win goodies like a physical Switch copy of Fights in Tight Spaces, a Steam key of the DLC, & an Art Print! enter on the skeet below 👇

As it's National Dog Week, let’s introduce our beloved new companion, Agent K!
A pooch with a punch and certified good boy. And yes, you can pet the dog!

Made some substantial progress on a new game dev project today - hope to start sharing what we're working on fairly soon. It's been a while but it's good to be embarking on another thing!

Ask bus driver for general destination / name of major road:

"Where?"

Ask bus driver for specific stop name:

"Where?"

Haha the oldest and very possibly the actual worst

The single stupidest era of indie game discourse and that's a hotly contested category

If you're making a game that you think has franchise / DLC / spin-off / licensing potential then focus on *that one core game first* to prove out all of those things.

This rules

Semi-colon frame cancel into em-dash is plus on "no"

Gibson is an all-time great namer of things...nomenclaturist? Neologist? I'm not as good as him at it

"I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce" is genuinely one of my favourite jokes in any movie

A skater's grave. The headstone is a skateboard with LIVE TO RIDE printed on it.

‪This California Games 2 game over screen goes extremely hard.

In case anyone is wondering how it's going on Twitter I just saw a San Francisco person describe $20m net worth as "only enough to live somewhat comfortably"

Sold

Also I have a lot of respect for the Philippou brothers making more of a trendy commercial (but still decent) horror with their debut and then going smaller and weirder with the follow-up - a wise creative strategy if you can pull it off!

Bring Her Back is *very* good if you like narrative-driven horror and also hearing other people in the cinema having a bit of a tough time

Hope everyone in the UK pushing for increased regulatory involvement in the games industry is enjoying the Online Safety Act this weekend!

Also I have done creative work that I 100% believe could be fully replaced by AI eventually and the audience would not care or notice. I have also done creative work which I struggle to see how a non-human could even reasonably emulate. I know what I'm going to be focussing on going forward.

The creative argument can only be won by "show don't tell". There are other arguments to be had about many many other aspects of this - I think it's hugely more productive focus on those.

I have never seen a cycle of "people are liking the wrong thing - we just need to explain this to them harder!" go well in any creative field during any era. It is a hallmark of a collapsing conversation.

When people enjoy AI art you can't convince them otherwise by repeating the word "slop" and lecturing them about their taste. We need to collectively drop "people will never like this because it has no human soul" nonsense and focus on the actual problems with AI, of which there are many.

Ray is rad and it's already been a huge pleasure to add a little bit of input to this very cool thing he is doing! There will be a lot more to show and talk about soon.

Extremely proud that I got this joke

Digimon deserves to escape Pokémon’s shadow Digimon games are cool and it might be time for you to finally experience that

Digimon deserves to escape Pokémon’s shadow

I mean it's cool to disagree but the current compliance bullshit endured by smaller devs and my experience with industry regulatory consultation don't let me share your optimism unfortunately
