Ludocene – the game discovery app – is now live on Kickstarter! As time goes on, discovering games is getting harder and harder, as players only see games that have serious 💰 behind them, rather than what may actually interest them the most... www.kickstarter.com/projects/lud...

Getting good screen shots to promote your game is one of those tasks people don't realise can incredibly painstaking and the consuming #gamedev

My four-year-old thinks it's hilarious that the TV news said "Trump and Putin". In the UK to trump is to fart, and to him Putin sounds like pooping. He's walking around saying "trump and poopin" repeatedly.

Hey games industry. I think we have to get inventive. I think we have to fight and forge the new normal. I don't think we wait & hope. I think "survive to 25" was too passive. I think the assumption that this will correct itself might be optimistic. I think this might be an inflection point. You?

I have a Beetles song in my head due to the train station I am leaving from to get to the Guildford Games Festival. Where am I?

Just overheard a classic Travelodge bar line, by a burly bloke to the poor young lady behind the bar "I bet you hear all the chat up lines don't you?". Like what are you hoping to accomplish here buddy? Do you hear yourself? She basically ignored him and he woddled off. Cringe.

You may be in Vegas at DICE, but I am in Waterloo on my way to Guildford Game Festival mua haha

At train station to head to Guildford Games Festival, talking to myself out loud on empty platform. Another passenger rounds the corner. My reaction? Pretend I'm on a call (hey I could have earbuds under my hat)..."okay, cheers, bye" lest a stranger know I am crazy

Watching the announcement trailer, cover art and logo gradually coming together for our upcoming game announcement is exciting! 🤩

It's been a hell of a January, so I'm just picking Indiana Jones back up again. Haven't had time to play anything since Christmas break. Well... except our own upcoming secret game.

What is your comfort food TV show? The one you go back to again and again to feel at home even though you've watched every episode a billion times?

I am looking forward to the Guildford Games Festival in a week's time, and curious to see others outlook on the state of the industry. Uncertain and volatile would be my take. What about you? 🤔

Working in the games industry right now:

OK so THIS happened. Over 7000 wishlists in 48hrs!!! The Forbidden Solitaire trailer really resonated with people. Thanks everyone for sharing it. :-) Wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...

An exclusive look inside the boardroom of game industry execs discussing the landscape of live service titles in 2025.

You have about 4000 weeks... from birth to death. Four thousand. How many do you estimate you have left? What will you do with them? 🤔

Had a fascinating call last night with some industry legends planning to do some awesome retro stuff.

Somebody left their Amazon Prime logged in on hotel room TV, so before logging out, I gave them a cheeky profile image update. Just to inject a little chaos into the universe. 🤘 If you see this next time you log in, you're welcome.

Exceptional ray tracing

CONSOLE LAUNCH DAY! 🚀 Congratulations to @marvelouseurope.bsky.social and @battlebrewpro.bsky.social on the #PS5, #NintendoSwitch & #Xbox launch day for #Cuisineer It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on the console versions!

I saw the word "cause" on a train, and initially thought it said "cos" as in "because" and then realized it wasn't but the spelling was the same and then I was like WAIT... is the etymology of "because" that's it's like this thing would "be" the "cause"?! 🤔😱

Good day at #PGCLondon today. Back on it tomorrow!

My 4-year-old playing the Mario 3D All Stars title identifies the constituent games as "Castle Mario", "Beach Mario" and "Space Mario". ❤️

Anybody spot anything interesting in the Switch 2 reveal? What are your theories?

God rays galore on this morning's walk

I'm weirdly addicted to watching reaction videos to... the type-G plug/socket (as used in UK). I've watched at least three. youtu.be/Nm2vI4jNGEg?...

If you could fuse together two Hewson games in one game, what would they be? #RETROGAMING

Refreshing morning walk
