Once you’ve finished binging Stranger Things, why not use the holiday break to learn game AI programming? 😎 If you’re up for the challenge, I made a 20+ hour course covering everything from theory to practice! 🧑‍💻 (Oh, and there’s a cheeky 50% discount in the next tweet! 🎁👇)

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Last week, Goldsmiths hosted a 48-hour game development hackathon on campus, with participants working day and night to develop a game around the theme 'bubble'.
People sit with laptops around a trestle table in a large hall. There are bubbles flying around the room and a large colourful ball on the stage.

It's undeniable that the "Creatures" series had a massive impact on many of the young kids who played it. 🐻 In case you missed this forgotten gem from the late 90s, the best way to describe it is a "Tamagotchi on steroids". 🐣 But if you want to learn more, stick with me for this thread! 🧵👇

Remember the AI / copyright consultation? I'm having dinner with one of its principle authors on Friday. What should I say to them? Bear in mind, they aren't responsible for govt policy, but are involved in its execution, and they can frame how the response to the consultation is received.

Let's not forget that in-game hints are not just a quirky design choice, but an ESSENTIAL part of making your game ACCESSIBLE for players with visual or cognitive impairment! ♿ There's a reason if many games—from "Tomb Raider" to "The Last of Us Part II"—use them! 👏 www.ign.com/videos/yello...

There's a horror game that's impossible to screenshot! 📸 Branta Games used a clever noise shader to ensure that the relevant part of their games can only be perceived while the game is being actively played. If you screenshot it, it'll just look like random noise!
