Flowers for Turing - I think they may be a bit blown around the city now @specialeffect.org.uk

I love it when games are ised as empathy generators - telling stories thatvare important to hear, play and feel www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...

An absolute honour to be asked!

Nice to see this today at Middlesbrough College

Oh Yes!

Tried hearing assistance in my EarPods- this is what it must be like to hear like Superman

I'm not sure how this deal works but for 99p it's well worth it. Andy is a good friend to the game dev community and one of the wisest people I know.

Met these guys at a Platform event in Manchester and loved their approach to the classic game

I am so proud to be a small part of this big festival!

I hope no indie developers missed this Chris Zukowski post over Christmas because I think it is one of the greatest pieces of advice available for free to indie devs! howtomarketagame.com/2024/12/27/w...

I'm in - I love these events.

Is Gerry Anderson designing all new electric cars now? (If so I’m 100% in).

This much cooler Anna is an UNRELENTING DELIGHT to work with and so on her shit it's kinda spooky. You want someone to get people together?? You want someone to get people to care????? Anna V is YOUR GUY

Despite being in games for several - err - generations - I am rubbish at them and have completed a few. But I managed to complete the sublime Monument Valley III from the artisans at @ustwogames.bsky.social and enjoyed every sumptuous moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfvm...

Modulus is doing so well, but it ought to just LOOK AT IT! It's gorgeous. Sorry for shouting at this time in the morning.

A great grass roots initiative by @wearesecretmode.bsky.social featuring Parcel Corps - what a perfect match! @officialgoaty.bsky.social www.accesssport.org.uk/News/secret-...

UK Folks. If you're concerned about the catastrophic impact of generative AI on the creative industries & the theft of artists/writers creations, then you REALLY NEED to complete the below online consultation form. This is your chance to say 'fuck off, this is not okay' www.gov.uk/government/c...

Lovely selection of indie games from 2024 by Inverse - a couple that I’d missed which I will be checking out www.inverse.com/gaming/the-1...

I'm honoured to be returning to judging duties at @pocketgamercom.bsky.social Connects again in January

Great pice on @gibiz.bsky.social by @mariedeal.bsky.social on @ustwogames.bsky.social wonderful Monument Valley 3 www.gamesindustry.biz/making-a-mon...
