Heartbreaking news. There's lots of discourse on the festival's identity, ethics of volunteering and scale I largely agree with- but I just want to thank Freeplay for having me as a judge & awards chair in the past. I felt a part of community and built skills & confidence I still utilise to this day
π₯° I love to hear this. Mushka was such a joy to make!
Damn, that's soul nourishing. Makes me miss living over there.
Ty I'm so tired but happy to be here
Hello I guess it's a new year already
Last year:
β¨οΈ announced a game studio (@intarsia.studio)
β¨οΈ did multiple cycles of IVF
β¨οΈ moved house
β¨οΈ shipped a game (Mushka on Board.fun)
& last but not least!
β¨οΈ gave birth to my first born child (we are both happy & healthy)
Bring on '26 πͺ
Dreaming of Spring (risograph)

<3 thank youuu. There's something inherently magic about bringing a little creature to life through art & code, and it's made even more special by the tactile & physical affordances of Board.
Dogz & Catz were a big influence! Just look at this masterpiece
"His parents used katamaris as part of his pre-natal training" "which made him realize that rolling to get bigger, and crashing to get smaller is like life."
katamari.fandom.com/wiki/Excited...
Something for me to consider along with the rest of my antenatal preparation
So excited to be able to show this off and talk about it now. It's been such a blast to make!

Yo congrats!!!
Tingus Goose!! Yes!! Good list
Ooo thank you Jay! There is a fascinating trend developing where these games are either over-the-top fun/silly, straight up horror/scary or an off-beat multiplayer combination of the two
utter perfection
I don't even know if my Wii still works but I gotta get a copy w that baby controller
Jam I'm losing my mind over this game
oooo yes I really enjoyed Before Your Eyes too!
Death Stranding is the most serious baby game I love it and fully forgot it had a baby in it.
Also now thinking about the creepy Red Prince picture book in Blue Prince so thank you for that
Yes Moving On!! All fabulous recommendations, Mickey. I love it thank you!
my god that is a nightmare baby
JASON!

I'm talking baby steps, shower with your dad simulator, octodad, who's your daddy, etc.

Good luck!! It's going to be great!!
I truly think the Games Industry would be in a much better place, creatively, if everyone had more exposure to DOS Shareware games.
