Apparently I’ve made my print debut? Me and Dan wrote all about our ventures in Paris researching for our upcoming Les Miserables point and click, and it’s in the latest issue of Debug! Very cool moment as someone who’s been a fan of gaming magazines since I was just a wee guy collecting ONM!

A shrine(?) dedicated to Over the Hedge. It contains every video game release of Over the Hedge, several DVDs, and a plushie of Verne.

I am not sure if I’ve shared this with you (or actually, anyone online) ever, but I have a very special connection to Over the Hedge

(don’t worry, I did order a plushie of RJ the raccoon too, I think he’s just stuck in delivery hell for now)

Me, playing on the Switch 2 with a plushie of Verne from Over the Hedge, the greatest movie of all time.

for the launch of a brand new video game console, it’s important to spend it with the ones you love (talking verne plushie from over the hedge)

Screenshot of "Epic Wizard Game". Purple platforms are set against a lilac sky with pink clouds, with stylised sprites of wizards and cute monsters on them.

Screenshot of "Htraes Trail". An epic, flat-shaded landscape, with a lo-poly mountain standing against a bright moonlit sky. In the distance a huge snake-like monster is rearing its head.

A screenshot of "Come Bye". A sheepdog is surrounded by sheep in a bright and sunny meadow. The on-screen UI mentions that there are 33 sheep today, and that total sheep saved and lost is 25 and 4.

A poster for ECGx. It should 3 screenshots of student projects and an image of a young person with blue hair and a checked shirt playing a puzzle game on what looks like an old CRT. (The game is CRT7, by Amicable Animal.) At the bottom are the words "Let's play some games!" and details of the event, including the date (5th June) and the URL https://dub.sh/ecgx2025 where you can find more info.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Kamek turns invisible whenever he teleports. By removing the invisibility, we can see that he is actually compressed to a thin line and stored in this spaghettified form in the game's memory until he reappears in a different spot.

At the start of this year I felt particularly burnt out by a lack of creating and making and thinking about art I love - so I decided that there was no better way to reignite that passion than writing about a song that has always been so infused with that creative spirit I aspire to :>

Sparkbird: an Ode to Curiosity - EwanJams About the restless artist, and the ever-evolving dream

been trying to get back into writing a bit more, so I wrote a blog post about one of my favourite songs of last year, Sparkbird by @sparkbird.bsky.social!

Hay on a scanner.

With the Scanned Textures tagline being "Real textures from real objects for your projects", it does create some absurd situations.

Behold hay on a scanner.

this past weekend, my best friend worked on a game based on the true story of my bubble blowing world record that never got credited (which was not on my 2025 bingo card tbfh). It's so cute and you should play it!

I’ll be bringing both of the games I made for the jam, so people can have their bubble burst in person!

yes! We'll be having our usual 6pm social meetup tonight - but in honour of the recently finished game jam we're inviting people to show off their games! So if you're in Edinburgh and up for some socialising with developers, please come along!

www.meetup.com/edinburgh-ga...

aw thank you! it’s based on a true story that happened to my best friend - of breaking a bubblegum blowing record and a journalist following up with them about it 20 years later - so the newspaper is actually real and from the mid 00s. (the details may be slightly exaggerated for comedic effect)

Bubblegum and Broken Dreams by cyps, ThunderJams A Bubblegum Noir Mystery.

Working with @cyps.bsky.social is always a blast! Here is the game page if you want to play (if using the web build you might need to mess with different browsers and accept stuff to get the mic to work)
