Despite 8+ hours in the car, realising the venue has moved since my last visit, & a disagreement about parking at my AirBnB, I am awake, alert, and looking forward to @voidspacezine.bsky.social live events this weekend. Who will become the Sixth Suspect? #voidspacelive #thevoidpsace

Liz King dropped by our stand 2-113 to pitch her boardgame about lab work. Brilliant stuff. So I invited Liz to show it off at the #GamesinEdu networking & demo at 12.30 Sunday in the Pizza Suites at #UKGamesExpo

Playtesting some puzzles from our Immunology game with @immunojo.bsky.social. Three very happy players - that was fun! So clever! Would definitely recommend. Drop by stand 2-113 if you’d like to play and/or playtest some mini escape games. #UKGamesExpo #GamesInEdu

There’s a proliferation of games based on a chessboard. Somehow extending the game to a different world with theming. Chess is having a renaissance. Anna Taylor-Joy started it. #UKGamesExpo #GamesinEdh

It’s like exploring the TARDIS - we just found the pool room! Loving playing the game - has replaced watching TV with my daughter. Would like to win a copy for a friend.

15 days remain until this year's Narrative Design Awards kicks off. It's a much smaller, cosier jam this year, but we're still in need of writers, programmers, 2D and 3D artists, designers and everyone else in the game dev circle! itch.io/jam/nda-25 #art #jam #itch #gamedev #ttrpg #indie
