This is one of my favourite scenes from #gameofthrones as it involves weaving together world building, intense emotion and strong character dynamics. It's something not in the books and adds a depth to Catelyn's character that's not seen otherwise /1 youtu.be/qd5Q0UzuF2w?...

There's so much about #fireemblem #3houses that shouldn't work but it does and remains one of my favourite comfort games. I'll miss the school/professor aspects but I'm excited to explore a new part of the world. Now I just need to get the Switch 2 youtu.be/Rl5_C4sc5zk?...

Went to see #frieren in concert last night! It was magical

I've been rereading #naruto as a nostalgia hit and it slaps. Teen soldiers refusing to be emotionless tools of war and exploring what it means to be a failure. It introduced so many great characters and concepts but then just left their arcs behind quickly. Hinata being a great example...

Watching #dandadan and thinking wow what a sweet charming show and then episode 7 hits you like a freight train and you're crying

Harry Robertson @hrobertson.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

It's been a wild few days seeing @beyondgood.bsky.social blitz through its #kickstarter goals and now past its first stretch goal as it hits €40k. Seeing how excited people are is inspiring to me and a credit to the hard work the team has put in so far www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon... #indiegame

Non work related but still very cool thing happened. I got to sing at the Royal Albert Hall for the performance of Return of the King. A great way to celebrate turning 30

Did another game jam recently, this time doing dialogue for this fun, spooky Halloween game! outism.itch.io/waltz-of-the... I took some inspiration from Hades where you only get quick dialogue from the gods that also isn't a conversation but you need to establish character and sprinkle in some plot

A new addition to the list of Games with Perfect Cover Art

The cover for the Sony Playstation game J-League Prime Goal EX by Namco. It features a circular shape that is half a soccer field populated by soccer players in the middle of an active game and half a CD-ROM.

One day I want to do a text based game focussed on corporate language over emails. Today I found myself writing 'Thank you for the insight into your working processes. I'll make sure to align our correspondence going forward'. That's not how a human being talks and I gave myself the ick #andor

Ran into Shadowheart at the post office a few days ago! Even god's favourite princess needs to use royal mail. I love how Shadowheart's narrative weaves a storyline about chronic pain and memory into the game and Jennifer English brings her to life in such amazing detail. I was very starstruck

Another game jam completed and this time we placed #3! I was just doing writing for this one and I finally put that classical civilisation degree to good use. Finding quotes for the power cards and writing a Homeric introduction for a fully voiced cutscene :) outism.itch.io/sisyphus-rev...

One of the coolest things to come from the latest game jam was watching superstar streamer @aleisdoran.bsky.social play our game! She brings the characters to life so well and it's such an invaluable experience watching someone play. You can watch the edited stream here :) youtu.be/NIjmN92-sko?...

Judge feedback for Pirate Software Game Jam 16 is in! Very pleased with it and excited to hear the results on the 18th. It would have been nice to make the game a bit longer or perhaps added in an 'endless' mode as they said but I don't think that was possible in the time frame.

Judge feedback:

This game is beautiful, and is a great adaptation of the theme of "You Are The Weapon." As the titular vessel of weaponry Knight Alpha 01, assisting your pilot to keep them in a calm emotional state is a fun way of interacting that helps make the game feel more compelling. Especially fun is the ability to influence the pilot's emotional state to make the game more or less challenging. The reloading minigames are fun to manage, and not punishing. The art is clean, clear, and consistent within the style choice. The story is also compelling, though short. The UI is well laid out and easy to understand, and is very easy to read. One suggestion I have is to make the Laser Shotgun reloading minigame a bit more visually indicative of when the Laser Shotgun is reloaded. Your GDD is well laid out, and I like seeing that you have your different developer roles listed by name. However, you should include all the people in your group in the submission of your game on itch.io: the artist should also be a part of that team. Otherwise, your GDD is very well done, and very descriptive. I would like to see more inspiration for stylistic and musical choices in the game. Overall, excellent job!

Pirate Software Game Jam 16 done! You can play our entry here. The theme was 'You are the Weapon' so we thought it would be fun if instead of getting in the mech you are the mech... I love robots and retro futuristic HUDs. I will not be taking any further questions. outism.itch.io/heart-of-steel
