One of the things I love about game poems is that they encourage game designers to think more about poetry and poetics, and writers to think more about game design. It's such a great way of expanding your creative horizons.

@untitledgamesevent.bsky.social is... I'm sorry, but it's just wonderful. I went into the weekend feeling tired and overstretched, and came out feeling like, actually energized. What?? So many great games, so many great talks, such a great venue, and the best people. I will be back!

i just published a post about my time at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org "When you strip back the commercialism, the urge to “sell”, and with that remove all the predatory behavior capitalism encourages… you are left with something human that creates the groundwork for games to be relevant to everyone."

Also, here's a picture of Daniel talking about Yelling Games from the last time we did one of these.

Very chuffed to have my (literally) little game object written up in Edge this month.

The cover of the July 2026 issue of Edge Magazine. The cover is orange and the cover story is a feature on AI.

A column inside the issue of Edge “The Outer Limits” by Alex Spencer, the pull quote reads “I've read accounts of what Pong meant to people at the time, but I've never been able to feel that while playing it.”

The opening of the column which reads:
“The year is 1982, apparently. The patterned wallpaper and fringed velour
settee suggest '70s to my eye, but then I suppose people don't immediately update their décor to reflect the decade. Anyway, this - like the ceramic ducks on the wall, the Radio Times on the carpet - is just peripheral detail to the real focal point of the room: the TV. Its gently curved screen is dark but for a few illuminated lines. Two dashes of light move up and down on either side, a dot travelling between them in diagonals. And - get this! - by twiddling the ridged dial in my hand, I can control one of those dashes.
This does require a little squinting, mind, since the TV screen is about the size of a matchbox. In fact, the entire scene takes up barely a quarter of the office desk it's placed on, even accounting for the Perspex cube that houses the whole diorama.
This is Next Door's Telly Has Games On' by Amy Godliman, one of the works on show at Strange Play, one of the attractions at April's London Games Festival.”

I recently ran a tiny Flickgame game poem jam as part of London Games Festival. Games made in less than an hour, and paired with a haiku. Check out the entries here: itch.io/jam/game-poe... Most just take a minute or two to play, and work great on mobile thanks to @increpare.bsky.social.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
