Feels faintly archaic saying things like "the weekend crowd" in space year 2026, but on the off-chance that's still a thing, I'll reshare this piece about a really fascinating upcoming video game because people seemed to quite enjoy it. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

‘An anthem for the co-dependent’: Bad Magpie’s corvid carnage with a side of existential angst

Going by the mantra, if you want to make someone laugh, make them cry first, the game’s developers have created a lonely magpie who fills the void by wreaking havoc

peckstatic to announce that we'll be part of @indiearenabooth.de at Gamescom this August! find us at the @wingsfund.me booth alongside a bunch of other incredible indie games come play Bad Magpie and stick your beak where it doesn't belong 🐦‍⬛

Bad Magpie Key Art with an Indie Arena Booth 2026 border around it.

The Bad Magpie Key art is the magpie in the centre of the image holding a flaming log with a trail of destruction and burning flowers behind her and crying mice running away from here. Peeking over the horizon behind her is a large glowing star. It says "BAD MAGPIE" in the centre of the image.

The Indie Arena Booth border is pink and blue and says "Democratree, Games for Everyone" and "Indie Arena Booth 2026, 26 - 30 August. INDIEARENABOOTH.DE." There are cute illustrations of people and animals around the border too.

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

thanks for all the love for Bad Magpie! we just hit 35k wishlists (ahhhhhhh!!) and appreciate the support from every single one of you 🫶 here are some of our favourite screenshots from the game

A magpie stands at a fork in a road and watches as a fire spreads across some dry grass towards a wooden gate. The magpie’s calm demeanour implies it is responsible for the destruction.

A small magpie tentatively approaches an alien-looking fallen star that has crash landed into a multistory car park. Shooting stars decorate the night sky.

A magpie stands in an abandoned schoolyard at dusk, surrounded by scattered cans and bottles. It has just pecked a vending machine, which spits out a soda can.

A 2D magpie appears on one of the screens of a pile of old CRT monitors depicting a
pixelated adventure game. The screens glow green in the dark of the room.
