I’ve personally been using AGS for 25 years, but I’ve heard good things about Adventure Creator and Power Quest. Both are unity plugins.

Steam Fall sale is ON! Too brain tired after Nighthawks launch to do a proper marketing for this right now. In the meantime, I will have blind faith that public desire for our games transcendes the need for me to tell everyone to buy them. There. Nailed it. store.steampowered.com/developer/Wa...

It takes me ages to choose a name for one of my games, let alone one for myself. Given the opportunity to change my name, the I’d just develop crippling choice paralysis and not choose anything. Hm. Actually, “Crippling Choice Paralysis” is not a bad name.

I am not up to date on the latest second-best revenge protocols and practices. I need to reread the manual.

I have a shelf of notebooks full of plots and ideas that never saw the light of day. Between projects I take them out and leaf through them, thinking IT IS TIME TO FINALLY MAKE ONE OF THESE! Only to realize why I never pursued the ideas in the first place.

Some kind of action platformer most likely. Though I doubt i’d be able to gain the skills to do such a thing.

Dave Gilbert @wadjeteyegames.com · 02/10/2026

Oof. Honestly I don’t handle it very well. There’s a reason why I’m focused more on publishing right now. If I have trouble being creative, I can pivot to helping others with their creativity. I consider myself very lucky that my business model has enabled me to do that.

20+ years ago I kept a notebook where I scribbled an idea for an epic Sci Fi RPG that I never made. It’s corny and silly but I sometimes wonder What If…

Definitely “Legal? She’s dead!” from Blackwell Deception.

Apathy. GenX-ers like me have honed disaffectedness to an art form.

Hmm. The third season of Telltale’s Sam and Max does some fascinating things with the traditional p-n-c format that still blow my mind.

Never thought I'd be nostalgic for when all my spam was for porn or politics.

Nighthawks is doing... well! It came close to beating our "First Day Of Launch" record. This is a remarkable achievement when you consider that this is on TOP of the thousands of Kickstarter backers who already own the game. So I think we can safely put this in the "success" column for now! Phew!

Jay fails to mention that he has one of the most epic lines in the entire game:

Maybe should have hyped up this Nighthawks mechanic in the marketing.

"You get the exhibitionist trait by running around naked, which was fun to earn, but damn, did it increase my suspicion level."
