Everyone going to #Develop in Brighton next week, have a bloomin' lovely time! I can't make it this year but will be there is spirit (I'll be attending talks via séance). Please have a Mr Whippy on my behalf 🍦

It's Steam NextFest next week, that came around fast. Best of luck to all the game devs out there, especially those currently waiting in the Steam build review queue! Been in the last two, so am looking forward to just being a player this time around and getting some good demos in.
Important update: Crooks Peak competed in the Calne duck race, the UK’s premier showcase for up and coming businesses…

🚨PC VR player trigger warning🚨 My most common observation watching tester playback footage when they have a beefy PC: "Why no Ultra setting" 😅 #VR #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #steam #quest

🎉2,000 Wishlists for Full Steam Undead🎉 Thanks everyone, every wishlist is a motivational boost keeping this train rolling. GameDev wishlist thoughts/stats to follow for those interested... #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev
Just put out the first round of #NextFest demo updates for Full Steam Undead. It feels so good to have people playing and giving feedback, thanks players!
My biggest gamedev discovery so far this #NextFest: 😡Low, Medium, High 📉 😀Normal, High, Ultra 📈 Yes I am changing it, but did consider "low, lower, lowest".
I'm seeing 3425 total demos in this Steam NextFest 😬 Good luck to all the devs out there! Only around ~35 VR demos, don't know if that's good or bad to be honest.
⚠️The Full Steam Undead demo is out now ⚠️ Drive a flying steam engine around a Victorian zombie hell island, in VR. Time to blow off some steam with the "Full Steam Undead" demo, now available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4421720/...
🎉Hit 1,000 Steam wishlists for Full Steam Undead🎉 For flat screen probably not that great, but for a VR game, who knows 🤷 Wishlist trajectory is way better than for By Grit Alone, I wonder if it's because of the game or upcoming Steam Frame excitement... Also, go wishlist it: fullsteamundead.com
A horrible start to 2026 for the premium VR games industry, my thoughts go out to the many people laid off after putting out some incredible games. I've been through some total industry collapses in previous work, but VR seems to be in a drawn out "limping on" zombie phase right now, just horrible.
Happy new year one and all! My 2026 new years resolution: 2160×2160 per eye; come on Steam Frame, please be good!
Ever wonder why there are so many elevators in games? No? Well I'm gonna tell you anyway... I wrote a guest article for RoadToVR about killing loading screens, GOTTA KEEP THE FLOW!
The Seamless Dream: Killing The VR Loading Screen
In games, nothing breaks player flow like a loading screen, and in virtual reality this problem is amplified tenfold. ‘Presence’ or ‘immersion’, the magical yet fragile feeling of ‘being there’, is wh...

Just want to give a massive shout out to the fantastic artists who've brought the Full Steam Undead cover art to un-life and had to deal with my massive brief documents. I tried to think of something good to write, but to be honest the art speaks better for itself!
