Enter the manor... if you dare... I've been putting a couple of hours into this each weekend for the last month or so. Still lots to figure out and it may never see the light of day, but I'm having a lot of fun so far. It's lovingly nicknamed Project Spookems

"Proudly made by mortals without generative AI" Great first impressions of Vampirium 1997 by @mikebithell.bsky.social, and I haven't even gone past the main menu yet

This is a wildly accurate peak behind the curtain. If you want to know a bit about how your favourite games are made, give it a watch

Sustainability in the games industry has been severely lacking these last few years. It's great to see new studios popping up putting it front and centre. I really, really hope we see more of this in the coming years.

Creative chills are a phenomenon I'd like to understand better. I'm at the gym and had an amazing plot point for my WIP book pop into my head. Instant chills, arm hairs on end, even while I'm there melting on the treadmill. Why?!

I have no idea what it does yet, but LinkedIn adding a "This seems like AI slop" button is hilarious. I hope all platforms follow suit

Getting a lot of eyeballs at the moment, so, if you’ve also announced an indie game recently, reply here and show off your wares with a trailer. If you’re reading this later, go checkout these games and get them wishlisted (you know, just like you’ve already wishlisted Vampirium: 1997)

Firstly, someone get this movie a sequel! Secondly, he's totally right that the magic looked better with purposeful hand movements than with uninspired gestures. It makes them feel kinetic and weighty

This is really interesting food for thought, creating an approximation of the full game before diving deep into any part of it. I'd love to give this a go with one of my solo projects

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Between Fable, Mewgenics, Hozy, Paralives, Erosion, and Dobble Dungeon, my Steam wishlist is looking very healthy. I think 2026 is going to be a great year for games releasing

In this age of review embargoes lifting at the last possible second, Mewgenics reviews coming out releasing the week before completely threw me. I'd almost forgotten early reviews could happen

The place we need to get people to, on both sides of the Atlantic, is immigration enforcement is not a priority. It should rank far below littering on our priorities as a society. We're talking about paperwork here.

Only tangentially related to this, but for a long time I refused to call Twitter "X" because it felt like Musk trying to claim credit for someone else's homework. But the Twitter I knew is dead and buried, and new built-in features are used to abuse. So now I call it X

I'd been in a writing rut this year, feeling like I'm treading water with my current book. So, for the first time, I tried a November writing challenge ( #WriteOne since #NaNoWriMo is dead). 800 words per day writing something new, continued into December. Just hit 32,000 words and loving it.

I just got a very small amount of hands on time with Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and damn that game looks good. Slick presentation and a really fun evolution of turn based combat. I wonder if dodging and parrying means you could get through the game without taking damage... 🤔

I started playing Cryptmaster last night after seeing it the latest Design Delve video. Its incredible, and a really good couples game. My partner and I have had loads of fun figuring out the puzzles together. Highly recommended! @designdelve.bsky.social @thecryptmaster.bsky.social
