Haha it shouldn't be scary! Interested at the decompilation you've been doing. I wouldn't worry too much about getting in any trouble; none of us work at E*ic any more and they don't even know MbN exists 😂

Very honoured to be working on this game as its writer! Dungeon Automata, by Japanese indie developer @gunzee2.bsky.social, is so stylish and unique - it's been a lot of fun helping bring his vision to life. AND YUZO KOSHIRO IS DOING THE SOUNDTRACK!!! Demo is on Steam now!

What do you do when you're in a creative funk? When you don't know what to do, or which direction to go in? Because BOY am I there right now, but I'm determined to not let it last much longer.

Jeff is a big part of the reason that Murder by Numbers ever existed, so if you liked that, you are morally obligated to wishlist this. Oh and Fall Guys I guess, if you're into deeper cuts.

Terrible that Anne Widdicombe might have been murdered. I'd much rather she'd survived until the rapture, so she could be left behind and have to witness God tell her she got it all wrong and that, actually, being a shiteheap to so many people under the guise of 'faith' was not what it was all about

Like everything Yoko Taro, it's incredibly direct and honest, which is still such an unusual thing. I'm so bored of developers gushing about how much they love every aspect of their jobs. Tell me what you think is boring, what you phone in, what you just don't care about. Be a human being.

Ed Fear @edfear.co.uk · 08/04/2026

This story of how Yoko Taro designed the world map for the original Drakengard makes me feel SO SEEN. As does the section header, "No Interest in Worldbuilding". (From the lovely new book The Wor[l]ds of Yoko Taro)

There were other mid-project orders too. I remember being told to name the towns and make a map. Up until then, I'd been using real names like France and Germany for the countries in the game. Then they told me to come up with original names. Their reasoning was something about unique worldbuilding and original place names being part of Enix's identity as an RPG maker.But that didn't really click with me.

In the end, I fudged it by giving things random names like the Silent Forest or the Temple on the Ocean. For the map, I literally took a real map of Europe, flipped it upside down, and handed that in!

I swear to the highest of highs, Vodafone: I will find every person who enabled and developed this shitheap of a chatbot, and I will erase them. Not kill them, no -- I will so comprehensively destroy them that there will be no trace of them ever having existed, even in their dearests' memories.

A conversation with Vodafone's completely useless chatbot, TOBi, in which it says it's sorry it hasn't been able to help me, asks if I'd like to speak to an agent, and then when I say yes -- PICKED FROM A LIST OF YES OR NO, NOT EVEN TYPED -- it says it can't understand, because it's a piece of shit that deserves to be slung into the cold, dark, merciless void of space.

The Guardian does amazing work in the data visualization field, and this is a great way of demonstrating an issue I didn't even know existed.

This game is so good - massive congratulations on making it to launch, Moo and team! Hugely compulsive, tight writing, and fun characters. Highly recommend it to anyone who liked Murder by Numbers and wants something compelling and cosy.

I love flip/foldable phones but fucking hell they are still SO flaky. Now the touchscreen of my Z Flip 6 isn't working, and it seems like it's a pretty common issue. And fixing them is expensive too - might make more sense to just buy a new mid-range phone instead

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
