1️⃣ 14% of our workforce are Joes.

Now obviously we aren’t Joeist - but if you apply for a role and your name is Joe, expect us to ask if we can call you Joey/Jojo/Mike etc. instead.

Right. So.

I’ve been asked to share 3 interesting things about Avid Games.

(Other than ‘we’re launching Wild Cards early next year’ - which is frankly the only fact that matters)

#Haggle News. Gold is being made! Some road-side stalls being supplied and selling to passing peasants. We'll have proper marketplaces soon. ooof!

Happy #screenshotsaturday folks!

Reminds me of the "Haggle" scene in the Life of Brian :D

#Haggle News. We've been at a conference this week promoting Haggle, so instead of a vid, I thought a shot of early concept work would be cool, to show you where we're going.

Happy #screenshotsaturday folks!

Looking sooo good already!!

#Haggle has felt a bit like an episode of Mr Benn this week (you know if you know). Drop a peasant into the serf school and abracadabra you have a serf ready to work! Oh and females, and hairstyles and beards... :)

STOP THE EYES THEY’RE MAKING ME NERVOUS.

‘A’ bug? Singular? We’d be throwing parties in the streets…

But yes, we often ship with ‘surprise features’.

Glad to know we’re not alone at least!

They aren’t saying - we asked, and we’ve just had the same default response again. If they pointed to something we could show them the specific licence or commission details…. But nope.

After a third rejection from Steam for using AI images we’ve given in, and now say we use AI images. Proving the non-existence of things is beyond our reasoning abilities.

*sigh.*

Had a meeting in Birmingham today. It was sunny.

TIL Birmingham can be sunny.

Has anyone else been held up by Steam because they say you use AI Images, and you say you don't use AI Images, and then that just keeps repeating like an argument between five year olds?

Haha I think you may be right… but my denial runs deep!

This is visually mmmmm - strong Vib Ribbon vibes - and that can only be good. (This clip obviously hurts to watch though :D)

This is the hardest part of all IMO. You wouldn't happen to have another deck of tips just for this bit would you? :D

Hello! Axe Ghost looks great! On the wishlist :)

Holy Moly, I'm following 150 people already. I'd better say something.

I'm vaguely responsible for 🌎 Cards, the Universe and Everything and 👻 Eerie Worlds. Both f2p TCGs on iOS and Android, with CUE launching on Steam NEXT WEEK!

(Or when Valve approve it. Gabe may have other ideas.)

@wildmangames.bsky.social Hello! My quest to actually be sociable on social media starts here. 'Tis a modest start, but it's a start.

While I'm here... got any games on the way? Eh? EH?!
