If you're working on a thinky puzzle game, you should definitely apply! I was one of the recipients last year and I can't stress enough how impactful it was for me. The incredible community support and @mairispaceship.com's mentorship really helped bring out the best in my game!

The other Robot Party Jam 2026 game I wrote this year is Gulltry: Stranger in Wonder Land, which I made with @claudiecb.com and the rest of Team Pretzel. You can play that one now too! Please go and tell all of my teammates how good they are. Both of these games were made in less than a month! ✨

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

Yesssss

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

I, like lots of artists, struggle with this. But, when I’ve struggled the most, it’s been so helpful to just look back on older work and realize how far I’ve come. Day by day, it can feel like nothing is changing, and it becomes so much clearer when looking back.

Not really games/books related, but my new fabric collection Halloween Harvest just released with QT Fabrics! The marketing photos look so good 😊

What a rare thing. A genuinely helpful resource that seems to have been made with no agenda except to help others. There's not even a hint of a credit to who made this. Anyone know who did and can I buy them a coffee/beer/cake at develop?

Time to shout this starter pack again! DM me if you want to join!

The neurodivergent urge to start ten projects at once and get overwhelmed by the shear amount of work they all require... So anyway, I'm making a game!

I still think about this often

I wish there was a live map of all of the local outdoor cats so that I could plan my walks accordingly

The perfect weather is 15°C and overcast.

Got gifted this book last week and can highly recommend for any point-and-click fans, what a goldmine from @bitmapbooks.com !

Studios not being allowed to survive making bad video games and learn from them is also a reason bad video games keep happening

AUTHORS! Do not, without the explicit permission of an illustrator, upload the art from your book into any AI system to create content like trailers for your book. I cannot believe this needs to be said AND HERE WE ARE.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

We worked on this! A must have for any fans of the Ninja of the Nth Dimension.
