I love this idea - a very indie 2 day experimental games conf based around 'inhuman-centred design'; creating new ideas by looking at things from a different perspective. Reminds me very much of the type of thing you used to get at Feral Vector. 18th-19th July in Hillsborough and only £35

Nice to see The Slayeux Tapestry highlighted! That was *inspired* + holding it as an exhibition at the Royal Armouries, where loads of games source their weapon refs, was just the cherry on the top.

A MAZE.@amazefest.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The winner of the Most Amazing Award is: Ben Swithen with “Trans Theft Horso” 🦩🏆🌴 This game reminds us that, as right wing policies are on the rise, it is a radically political act to create queer joy. Long live gender gladness!🌈 #playfulmedia #mbbfunded #amaze2026

we already have enough indie games that would appeal to all sorts of people who don’t play games — but the people who don’t play games don’t know about them. and they need to know about more than one thing that catches their interest to download steam. Or buy a console. That’s the reality.

My latest for @nowthenmag.bsky.social. I went to meet the new delivery robots. "I hate the machines, but not in a negative way. I find a lot of joy in it. If you hate me (a person with a soul) for hating a machine (inanimate) then you might actually be toxic." nowthenmagazine.com/articles/why...

Why Do I Hate The Delivery Robots?

Full conscription into the machine war has expanded to Sheffield. I went to meet our mechanical overlords in Meersbrook Park.

sean morley@seanmorl.com · 4mo ago

a while ago, i asked people on my stream what they want me to stream and they said minecraft. then i asked what they want me to do on minecraft and they said "learn chinese and reenact the history of new labour" so i guess this is that. live now with @deadair.co.uk www.twitch.tv/seanmorl

this morning my faithful Ducky One 2 Mini keyboard died, just a little trill of usb disconnect, reconnect, and a final disconnect to mark its passing. you will be sorely missed. also i thought Duckys lasted forever wtf

honestly the separation of 3 & 4 as different and distinct stages is a valuable thing to understand.

I made this image as a joke but my friends said that it was (mostly) reasonable enough to be taken seriously. So: Indie devs, what does your game need to do for you to see it as a success? Note: except for the top tiers, most of the games shown do not relate to their tier. #indie #gamedev
