So I thought I’d set up a ko-fi as a few people have asked if I have one.
Might be nice to have a way for people to send over a few quid if they’ve found my work helpful/interesting and feel like doing so (never an obligation or expectation for anyone to do that though)

Starfriends: The 5-Star Game About What Everyone Else Thinks A party game where you get into your friends' heads. Kinda like a blend of Wavelength and Letterboxd that fits into a deck of cards.

Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

Today, Rift Riff…

i'm so proud, and exhausted. please buy & enjoy the game, repost this, leave a review, ∞ 🙏🏼

A selection of images from games etc. Hannah Nicklin has worked on, a screencap or key art image from: Saltsea Chronicles, Black Mirror: Thronglets, Mutazione; and the cover of Writing for Games: Theory & Practice. Also featured two reviews. One from Eurogamer: 5/5 Saltsea Chronicles "Onwards you go in pursuit of your missing crew, then, your story diverging further from mine with every island choice, with every flick of the head or settling of the lips. Memories/Artefacts? Skeptical/Curious? And astonishingly, through all these moving parts, all this phase space, my story still made rich sense, and actually built to a truly devastating climax. Scream/Weep? Fittingly, for me, Saltsea Chronicles turned out to be a story about choices as well as a story made of choices. It made me think about the big decisions I make in life, but also the decisions that shape a life that I don't even notice having made. Ripples turning to waves and all that. You must play this. It's luminous." The second of Mutazione from Gamespew, 9/10 "Mutazione is a game that builds up relationships within a community you instantly feel a part of. The main story is secondary to the real drama and the heart of the town, but it’s necessary. It’s extremely well-written, and the hand-drawn environments are beautifully designed. Die Gute Fabrik has crafted a sweet, powerful fairy tale that delves into the human psyche and allows you to reside there for five hours or so."

Made my dream treehouse in my upcoming game 🌞

Treeplanter is all about piecing together a cozy landscape branch by branch with a fun Lego-like design 🌳

Meet the Flummoxagon, a new geometric puzzle game that might just leave you flummoxed. Imagine a mash-up of Pentominoes and Sudoku. Your goal is to fit all the pieces into the hexagon frame but there’s a twist, pieces of the same color can’t touch. n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9827

Dive in the thoughts of a trans girl through her diary in this narrative platformer! The gameplay will flow to the sound of her voice while she shares her view of her body, romance, emotions, and much more... Filled with handcrafted visuals and a touching story, this game will strike your heart.✨

Artist friends, lend me your sword (designs)!

I'm working on an installation that features a vending machine where you customise a sword by mixing-and-matching parts, then print it out on thermal paper.

There's an idle game component too.
