I can't make tonight's regular games social, but ( 🤞 ) I've hopefully sprinkled in a bit of that @baftagames.bsky.social magic.

I've curated a lil' showreel of around 60 mostly unseen behind-the-scenes photos of lovely people at our games events this year. Here's just a few to whet your whistles:

I have not (yet?) verified that I am as old as time itself on here, so if you're DMing me, please try the exciting and glamourous world of Linkedin or ol' fashioned electromail

You are approximately 10 miles from where I grew up

That's the top of Mam Tor, if I'm not mistaken?

But can it run DOOM?

Really excited about this announcement - we are hosting an exclusive session at our New Horizons conference in Middlesbrough on 16th Oct with MachineGames' Creative Director Axel Torvenius talking with @lukethehebble.bsky.social about the fantastic Indiana Jones and the Great Circle!

Overwhelming desire to finally play Eye of the Beholder II

Such a cool behind-the-scenes peek at our games-focused cinema trailer, which is back in theatres nationwide.

Congrats!

A big (and slightly late) thank you shout-out to @keefstuart.bsky.social for covering our @baftagames.bsky.social Develop panel in the Guardian's Pushing Buttons newsletter last week. 🙏

And to @nickpoole1.bsky.social, @cassiacurran.bsky.social & @giokinto.bsky.social as such insightful panellists!

Need some morning motivation music. What are some recent games with banging techno / electronica soundtracks that I might have missed?

Nice

Telling authentic queer stories through games - Bafta Actor Jennifer English (Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33) and BAFTA's Luke Hebblethwaite discuss telling authentic queer stories in video games.

It was an absolute pleasure to join the inimitable Jennifer English in a cracking conversation about why it's essential that we continue to strive for more authentic LGBT+ representation in the games we make. Check out the write up on the BAFTA website here:
