Flock was such a pretty game, I'm so proud of what we managed to make. And would you look at that, it's half-off on Steam right now store.steampowered.com/app/1472930/...

This game is really clever, and I insist you play the demo ASAP. Its core mechanic is this really clever system of constructing short responses by picking words you've heard other people say - it's so full of emotional weight and the art is beautiful. It's sad and queer and heartwarming so far.

HEY i wrote some notes last week about designing approachable combat systems that are still expressive - both why that's challenging, and then strategies for designing *around* those challenges too

Our new game GRABBLE is out today. It's a 5-minute frenzy of grabbing mismatched game pieces out of a box, then having a weirdly intense showdown with them. www.cmyk.games/products/gra...

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

would you like to meet our new cat? her name is All The Fur I Brushed Off Madeleine Over The Summer

A pile of cat fur arranged into a loosely cat-shaped mound; two ears have been pinched into shape, and two googly eyes have been attached in the place where the eyes would be. It is sitting against a green wall, and it is very wrong to the eye.

No system is perfect, yes some people might "cheat", but would you rather people who desperately need these things go on suffering so you can be SURE you're not being duped? Why is you not being duped so important that other people have to die for it?

the woman being interviewed is doing great work but pay attention to victoria derbyshire's framing and questions here. the soft-pedalling of the bigotry of the villagers "they're not racists, they're not far right". the UK media is straight-up laundering fascism
