Biased of course, but my lovely and talented partner @tashadendekker.bsky.social and Chris gave a very good and engaging talk at the Game Dev Group last month!

Ended up writing a breakup letter to Blue Prince 😂

Halfway through and already thoroughly enjoying the nostalgia trip and great seeing Russ!

Love me some Size Five games! 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed playing the demo at Develop and had a nice chat with Moo.

The game has the same cute style, witty dialogue and solid gameplay as Knights & Bikes and @tashadendekker.bsky.social and I will definitely be picking this up when it's released!

Save 80% on Lair of the Clockwork God on Steam A fast-paced Point-and-Click adventure AND an indie platfomer in one! Join adventurer Ben and wannabe indie darling Dan in a race against time to stop all the Apocalypses happening at the same time.

IF YOU HAVEN'T YET played 'Lair of the Clockwork God', now is an excellent time because it's CHEAPER and STILL BRILLIANT.

✅Funny
✅Clever
✅Interesting
✅Unique

All the £££ goes towards making more games 👍

Congratulations Tom! Well deserved!

In a career of being nominated for things we know we can't win, I don't think I've ever been more sure of not winning something than the IGF for Excellence in Design last night. Somehow, it was also the first time I've been wrong.

Properly stunned, hugely grateful, deeply confused.

Great talks last night! 😀

Thank you for supporting my Dream.
Our campaign reached its goal ❤️❤️❤️

Dreams on a Pillow - a videogame experience about the 1948 Nakba, based on a true story | LaunchGood A pseudo-3D stealth adventure game about a land full of people being made into a people without land

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

Since people have been asking, I've created a "Background Radiation" Games Industry Starter Pack! The goal is a pack that gives you a good horizontal overview of the games industry and its surrounding fields - and the conversations happening there.
