I intend to use my profits from the game to fund and uplift marginalised and underrepresented creators. I’ve already begun that effort with the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant: grants.draknek.org (which is currently open for applications).

The Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant is a grant opportunity for game developers from traditionally underrepresented groups and backgrounds who are interested in designing and developing puzzle games.

Just don't creatively make a game to market your actual game, no matter how fun that might sound... bsky.app/profile/disl...

This is probably the biggest moment of my life 😭 After 4 years, the Game UI Bible has finally launched for all the world to see. A 400+ page tome of Game UI/UX goodness, celebrating all the weird and wonderful intricacies of this field. I'm SO proud of this book, and for you all to read it!

I'm running a panel on Investment Trends at the AI and Games Conference next week - genuinely excited and curious to learn from the investors about what's happening in this space.

Didn’t realise I was mentioned in the Guardian’s Pushing Buttons newsletter until I saw this! I should really set up some Google alerts for my name…

Want to know how to estimate unit sales for a Meta Quest game? -If it was released in July 2021 or later, then multiply the # of ratings by 61. -If it was released before, multiply the # of ratings by 121. Some refer to these ratios as Curran ratios, which is embarrassing, but I encourage 😅
A meme making fun of the concept of "Curran Ratios"

I’m seeing a lot of game companies start going the “release stuff early and get market signal” route, and I hope that players don’t get tired of it…

VR games development has suddenly turned into mobile F2P, hypercasual style game dev. Launch many products quickly and iterate on what gets traction. New Folder (I am Cat), Wooster (Animal Company) are finding success with this route. nDreams won’t be the only VR company that goes this direction…

Meta's Quest store changes cut revenue for many devs by 50-80%! With ~30 million headsets sold, their pivot away from gaming could open huge opportunities for savvy competitors, who could grab top studios with exclusives & challenge Quest's gaming dominance in XR.

I'm carrying out my annual survey of XR game developers, and I'm uncovering the disastrous impact of last year's changes in the Meta Horizon XR store on independent developers. I'll be sharing a lot on this in the coming weeks, so please keep an eye on my posts.

If you want this site to thrive and draw people away from the Bad Place, retweet liberally. There’s no algorithm here, and a lot of the people still using Twitter depend on it to boost their business. If we boost them, they will come.
