The kids aren’t just alright, they’re crushing it. 🚀

Spent the day judging pitches with SGGA and the level of polish coming out of this new wave of #Singaporean devs is scary good.

I’m legitimately inspired.

I swear the photographer has it out for me.🥵

It came over and was rubbing its head against me right after we exited the temple, so why not :P

That’s a wrap on an absolutely incredible India Game Developer Conference!

Full days of panels, developer feedback, and meetings, but the highlight was seeing the real, measurable progress from last year's developers.
The dev scene is on fire, but needs more experts to guide the new talent.

500,000 COPIES SOLD! 🤯

Thank you for making Lost Castle 2 a huge hit! 🎉

​To celebrate: Grab our new Plushie Dino! 🦖

Heading your way for #IGDC next week! 🇮🇳

My schedule is packed:

🧑‍⚖️ Judging Indie Pitch & Awards Jury
🎤 Speaking on a publishing panel
🤝 Investor/Publisher Connect & Fast Pitch
🧠 Whispering about my new secret project for the first time...

Always time for the delicious food!

#IGDC2025 #GameDev

Oh you will :D

And, maaaaaaybe I'll start working on a new crazy idea. 🤫

Thank you for being the most supportive companions and partners a publisher could ask for. It’s been an absolute privilege.

See you on the next level. 🚀

The Next Step

The irony of the games industry is not getting to play! I can finally say I have time to play:
🎮 Catch up on the digital backlog. 🎲 Conquer that towering Kickstarter board game pile. 🐾 Play with my furkids and human one.

This ensures the games we poured our hearts (and youth) into will continue to thrive for years to come. The decision was not taken lightly by either of us.

As my co-founder,
@neoniain.neondoctrine.games
, has shared, a major change is underway. We made the difficult decision to transition the catalogue to its new home with our friends at Raw Fury.

We started with big dreams, no idea how to get there, and managed to support over 30 brilliant games and the developers behind them. My heart is full; we truly built something special.

A New Chapter, A Difficult Goodbye 💔

Dear friends, after ten incredible, wild, and utterly unforgettable years, I’m departing from Neon Doctrine.

It’s hard to put into words what this decade means.

#NeonDoctrine

GDC? Nah. #Gamescom gets it done. Our SEA/Asia devs can't afford the trip, US is a mess, and SF conventions are hell. We're where the work gets done, not just showing face and dropping $30 on a drink.

Level Up KL was 🔥!

Judged, paneled, and somehow didn’t break anything.
Big love to MDEC for flying me over, @xsolla.bsky.social for parties that could level up your liver, and General Arcade for the chill lounge.
AND our game Grim Trials won Best Game Design!

#indiedev #gamedev #winning

Heading to Level Up KL next week as a judge & speaker!
Checklist:
✅ Talk games
✅ Meet devs
✅ Pray my publisher suitcase of cash survives customs
✅ Don’t sign a haunted stapler sim (again)🌸

Our free Lost Castle update nearly tripled daily players.

As I always said: timing is everything. Lunar Holidays + awkward family dinners = perfect excuse to slay demons.

Thanks for making it a hit! ❤️

Steam Autumn Sale is live, so naturally EA gets bought by Saudi for $55B.
I guess while I grab The Sims 4 for $4.99, someone else grabs the entire publisher. 🫡🫡🫡

Im not at #Gamescom Asia this year, but these lovely people will be!

#Indiedev #gamedev
