Bringing winter vibes to the summer it seems 😂

As a thank you to community, I've added 100 community copies of (the now Crit Award nominated) horror adventure, THE GAS STATION. Please take one for any reason.

It's that time of year again 🥳 I'll be at @gamerepublic.bsky.social #GaMaYo with @betajester.bsky.social talking about Unity, game dev, and the shiny Pokémon we've collected recently 😂

We are changing venues:

Super disappointed with all of this. I believe in dialogue and really tried to work things through, but sadly it’s taken too long to see any meaningful reassurance or action. Proud of the Games Leadership Team for standing by their values. Inclusion needs to be actively shown.

yes

Today marks 10 years since BetaJester was officially founded! 🎂🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us to achieve this amazing milestone. We've come a long way since we started as three university students doing game jams together. Onwards and upwards! 🚀 #GameDev #IndieDev #Celebration

Working through a new prototype idea, the warehouse is starting to come together 👀

For the last year, I’ve been working on an investigation that’s left me staggered. It’s a damning indictment of the UK’s care sector, & the migration system which has allowed millions of ££s to be plundered from communities in developing countries. Free link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Everyone points to that one guy who made a hit game on his own, and I point to the girlfriend who worked to pay the rent and bills for years whilst he did it.

Examples of falling at the first hurdle: new food hall venue launch night -> no WiFi 🤦‍♂️

There's only one week left on this, so if I've seen my advocacy work in the games industry and have 2 minutes, please add a short line on here of support so I can to this event and shout about games 😂

I’ll be speaking as part of @ukieofficial.bsky.social's Games Insight Month! If you’ve ever been promoted without support, given a team to manage without training, or found yourself Googling 'how to manage people without crying' then this one's for you. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/no-one-tau...

Gotta be honest, finding a guy (m/f/x) on SoundCloud to do your soundtrack for your game is really really really normal in indiedev Likewise with finding an artist via ArtStation or Tumblr I wish there would be a little more expertise in how games are made among those who write about it

I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve joined Meta. I’m kicking off a new chapter as Game Director at Beat Games in Prague. Beat Games and Beat Saber have had a huge impact on the industry, I couldn’t be more excited to join this amazing team to help shape the future of VR, XR and beyond.

I'm honoured to be nominated in the National Diversity Awards for Positive Role Model Award for Disability 😁 If you've seen my advocacy work and have a spare 2 minutes, you could provide a few words of support here and I'd really appreciate it 🤘 www.nationaldiversityawards.co.uk/awards-2025/...

In a big week for personal gaming, I've finished my first full run of both Witcher 3 (which took a year) and Hades (which has taken about 3 years/64 runs)😂 gonna go see if there's any other classics I can finish before the week is out 🤣

The general impressiveness and majesty of the Eiffel Tower does make me think more cities should have giant mega structures, even if only for us to update our maps by spinning in a circle at the top of them

Hey Lancashire where’s YOUR award-winning video game

I do and don't wanna talk about it because its a lot. but I want to publicly thank @baftagames.bsky.social for including Dan. it means a lot

Congrats on the bafta to all my pals who no longer work at the studio winning the bafta 🥰

Amazed at people still telling me they missed this. More amazed by how many ate jumping in as late (very welcome) backers.
