hi everyone. while the industry's still hellbent on calling anyone who makes /weird/ games "not a real dev" @baftagames.bsky.social decided that maybe people making things with three quid and a piece of string know what they're talking about, actually i'm part of bafta breakthrough 2025

Game developer Stanley loved playing The Sims as a child, not because of what happens in the game but because, in simulating life, it allowed him to concoct his own narratives for the varied characters within its fantasy world. One Games Design & Production BSc later, Stanley has been channelling that love for storytelling into his own authored games. Creating the writing, art, coding and almost everything else himself, often on the micro-est of microbudgets.

Stanley’s breakthrough project, LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST (2024), is as provocative and explicit in discourse as it is in title. A beautifully written, transgressive work of interactive fiction, it leans into Stanley’s own experiences of the trans masculine and online space and its multi-layered narrative earned him the 2024 New Media Writing Prize. He’s currently a PhD student at the University of Salford and working on his next solo game, CHILDREN OF HELL.

In their own words…

“Because I’m trans, I thought I would be overlooked for BAFTA Breakthrough, because we always are, but I decided to do the application anyway. I didn’t think it would go anywhere, and now it’s a reality I want to make the most of it. But I want to stress how I am, in many ways, an exception. I wanted to strike out and do my own thing against what the mainstream is doing, and I was just fortunate enough to be born middle class and have a support network that let me do that. We should be here and we’re often not, especially because we’re making weirder, more experimental games than mainstream gaming, and hopefully I can champion and elevate the people who brought me here. That’s how I want to make the most of it.”

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music. Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use. www.404media.co/spotify-uk-a...

Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content

Submit to biometric face scanning or risk your account being deleted, Spotify says, following the enactment of the UK's Online Safety Act.

It's hard to know how I feel right now, but ahead of Heartworm's release tomorrow I wanted to say I really hope you all can appreciate it for what it is. We did our best and learned a lot. It was never trying to live up to the classics but hopefully pay a respectable homage.

This bundle was extremely helpful when I needed the boost in income in the past, and I hope people will contribute to this to help those who are participating this year. Especially at a time where queer art is being erased, a bundle like this makes a big difference to individual creators.
