Taking the kiddo to see The Bad Guys. I have only referred to it as Da New Guys twice so far.

This is cool!

Fia is one of the most interesting female leads in any video game I've played recently!

The folks at @somanygames.co.uk interviewed @sallybeaumont.bsky.social about her work as Fia in Old Skies and VA work in general. SO many great insights into her process here, as well as insights into Fia herself:

I donโ€™t really have the words for how brilliant it feels when someone makes fan art of my characters- look at this!!!!

New month = new Neon's Game Report is up on the Blog, with updates on all the games I've been playing lately, gushing about @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social Blackwell Series, and the beginnings of dabbling in solo tabletop RPGs!

Come check it out! :)

Iโ€™ve just finished #OldSkies.
At @developconference.com I spoke to @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social (while we queued for ice cream) about a certain bit (no spoilers) in it that made me a bit sad.
Today I cried ๐Ÿ˜ญ at the end.
Iโ€™ve been a gamer since 1978.
Only one other game made me cry: #TheLastGuardian

Youโ€™ve always made it clear that your work is about young people being horny and dumb (hence the title), so it shouldnโ€™t come as any surprise when your characters act that way. Personally, Iโ€™ve followed your work since 2002 and I ainโ€™t stopping now. Your instincts havenโ€™t steered you wrong yet.

The final scene, a man in a sci-fantasy style bedchamber.

Here's an example of how I'm combining multiple elements that I like from my thumbnail sketches when I'm laying out my full compositions. The scene ended up mainly being a combination of sketches 3 & 4, with little bits of the other sketches thrown in here and there.

Old Skies: Wadjet Eye on top form - MoeGamer Old Skies from Wadjet Eye Games is a thought-provoking point-and-clicker that will get you thinking about life, love and legacy.

Finished Old Skies this morning. Absolutely magnificent. One of the best adventures I've played for a long time, possibly ever. Stunning visuals, amazing voice acting, compelling narrative. Utterly superb. moegamer.net/2025/07/26/o...

My review of Old Skies on Steam. The text is as follows:

RECOMMENDED

Wadjet Eye Games have produced yet another excellent adventure game, and this one manages the very difficult task of on one hand telling a coherent story about time travel whilst still ensuring players care about the main characters, even as everything changes about them.

Sally Beaumont is masterful as the protagonist Fia, beautifully conveying how her travels back and forth through different events subtly make her question her role as a time agent without it simply resorting to the obvious 'big bad' trope that many other narratives of this kind would.

The dialogue is smart, the puzzles intuitive, and the tooltips help to add depth to the world around you. All in all, I thoroughly recommend it.
