Analysts said A Pocket Full of Slagford wasn't capturing the Gen Z audience, so there have been some pretty big creative changes to address the issue. #barkfart

Soon the latest issue of the newsletter will go out where I talk about the music of PFoS and how it came to be that the composers of Hunt for the Wilderpeople are blending some insane influences to create the sound of Slagford. #indiegame #gamemusic #synth

There's this accepted truth that point & click adventures are unusually popular in Germany, which tbh I thought was just a silly thing people say... but I checked my Steam analytics and guess which country is #2 wishlister lol Deutschies, I see you 🙌

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

People wonder why we are called SLUMPS and where the name came from. Let me set the record straight. It's actually an acronym that stands for: Secret League of Unathletic Men Playing Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island

Tiny announcement: we have a Linktree now. I mistakenly thought it was a site where you go to show hole (their logo doesn't help)... while you WON'T find that sort of thing on ours, what you WILL find is a handy hub of everywhere else we exist online linktr.ee/slumpscreative

Those handhelds are all before my time, but it did make me think of this - does anyone else remember those Sonic ones from happy meals? They sucked.

Various ref I dug up. Let's be honest, the handheld gaming scene was pretty grim before the gameboy.

Right now my dialogue boxes are a big blank canvas ready for some personality, so I put some more thought into theming HUD elements. Here are some concepts trying to go for the look of crappy old handheld games - y'know the kind with calculator graphics and yellowing plastic and peeling stickers?

I spend a lot of time visiting the British Isles via Google street view, doing research and getting reference for the game. Sometimes I play roulette and drop somewhere completely random. You never know what you'll get.

Adventure game lovers should definitely play The Drifter by @dave.powerhoof.com, which I finished recently and thought was excellent. An actiony take on the genre which propels you through the story and I really loved the dark, pulpy Australian setting. store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/...

Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received! But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience. If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated! www.grundislav.games/Rosewater.html

What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking? Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think? #indiegame #b3d #retro

Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early. #gamedev #conceptart #adventuregames
