Save 10% on DEAD LETTER DEPT. on Steam Working at a data entry job in the big city, you type up and transcribe the lost mail and letters that have nowhere else to go. But as the days carry on oddities in the mail start to emerge, and crack...

Dead Letter Dept. from @skullthug.bsky.social creeped me the hell out but I couldn’t stop playing. Input address of letters that won’t scan - all hell breaks loose: store.steampowered.com/app/1627350/...

Hack And Climb on Steam Be the weapon! Swing like an axe, thrust like a spear, and soar like an arrow in this physics-based platformer. Flip, throw, and carve your path to the peak! Rage burns, revenge awaits... Are you up t...

Hack And Climb from @kodachigames.bsky.social was super SUPER satisfying. Your a warrior transformed into a weapon and you must throw yourself to climb: store.steampowered.com/app/3597060/...

CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs on Steam A mute little thing with borrowed magic. A house that murmurs back. Ask wrong, and you might wake something that remembers your name.

CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs from @bastinusrex.bsky.social is so wonderfully weird and creepy. The scratchy voices and beautiful aesthetic are a joy on top of the wonderful who-dunnit gameplay: store.steampowered.com/app/3570370/...

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping test some of the games that are featured in the @tinyteamsfest.bsky.social festival. Here are some of my faves that you should defo check out! :

Artwork for Tiny Teams 2025. In a vibrant cartoon style are three rats on a desk coding a game and painting artwork. There are bits and bobs around the room like books, stationary, and figurines. Outside the window there is a blue sky.

🎮 Tiny Teams 2025 is now on! 🎮

A wonderful time was had at the IMPACT! Indie Games event yesterday. Great talks, lovely people. Got to help demo the game I recently worked on “Pin the Tale” - lovely to see people enjoying it. Big thanks to @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social and co for organising!

I enjoy Doctor Who most when it is being creepy - tonight’s ep had those moments for sure

We can't promise we won't ruin them...

A photo of some Oatly saying “large format” which is also what .psb files are used for in Photoshop. And that’s funny?

My broken brain was like “oh it’s a .psb” 😭

Wait…. that wasn’t your normal voice!? 😝

A MESSAGE FROM US OPENINDIES: If you work in gamedev, you know it’s not all about the money. It’s about creating experiences that make people smile, think, rage, love, cry, and lose track of time after a hard day. On our podcast, we chat with people just like you. Those who pour their passion into creating things people enjoy. We don’t chase trends; we simply want to share your story with the world. We’ve been doing this for four years. It’s not all about the numbers, but it stings when you see some content - maybe even a chat about morning routine - pulling in 100x more listeners. It’s a hit to the motivation that needs a boost from time to time. So here is our ask: Give our indiegame show a chance. If you dig it, that’s awesome. Even if it’s not for you, we’d love to hear why and appreciate the time you took to help us grow and learn. Your honest feedback means everything, and we truly hope to win you over as a listener. <3

A message from us openindies -

Calling all #gamedev, #indiegamedev, #solodev creators, #indiegames and #podcast lovers!

Last years event was great. Looking forward to this one!

Amazing to see this go live. I had the pleasure of working with Jack to create all manner of awesome stuff for his new map based game "Pin The Tale". I created the visual identity, worked on refining the existing UI / UX as well as created designs for the home page and printed merch. Take a gander!

Last thing: I have some very exciting news to share next week, which will appeal to people who share any of the interests I mention above. Watch this space...

New Mythwright logo

Did you catch @mythwright.com 's post last week? I had the pleasure of working with Mythwright on a new brand identity. I created a new icon and wordmark representative of their ethos as publishers and of the devs they seek to help launch games. Really pleased with how the logo turned out!

Hard to say. Maybe more into the world of motion graphics design? Animated logos, titles, video presentations… that sort of thing. Can’t say if it’s any more of a stable career path with creative being decimated everywhere but anything seems more stable than game dev currently 🥲

Loved it! Wonderful design and well deserved win!

Ah thanks so much ☺️ I loved yours and Josh’s game too! Especially that game over bubble 😂
