What's the (Origin) Point? We've put a little video together to answer that question. Over the next few months we'll be sharing our favourite games made in Africa. Follow, and who knows, maybe #africanvideogamedev becomes a thing.

Immensely proud of the work our team has contributed to Morsels. It’s wonderfully unique, full of character, and tough as sharpened cat’s claws. Genuinely lovely humans involved at all levels, especially Toby and Iggy.

Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it. Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it. (forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)

Oh this is just adorable “Kids have started attending local events and volunteering for community activities — just for a chance to meet the ojisan from their cards. Participation in town events has reportedly doubled since the game launched.” www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainmen...

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”. I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.

Here’s a random business idea: Indoor motorcycle parking that includes a locker to stash helmet/boots/jacket for the duration of your parking period. I have to attend a conference in the CBD next week and I’m not looking forward to the schlep of carrying all my gear around for most of the week.
