Going to take a discussion work to the public forum of Blue Sky. This would be a poll, but polls don't exist here, so you'll just have to imagine. Butter Mintoes - Yes! - Ew no - What's a butter minto?!

I've been begrudgingly trying to get into Instagram this year because alas, I make stuff and want more people to know about that stuff. On Insta people are fed videos that the algorithm thinks they might like. It is trained by how long they watch, and how soon they scroll away.

Narrative games made by passionate weirdos that you can finish in under five hours are the absolute best.

Ideologically, generative AI is a 19th century technology: the flawed dream that once you have assembled a supposedly total archive of culture via technical media, you can use it to statistically derive new meaning from patterns of the past

Just checked and I've written 15,000 words of dialogue for my new game The Museum of Everything! That's 600 individual lines. And that's just the prologue...

When I was a teenager, Darlington railway station was basically my portal to the universe*, but I haven't been back since. It's so fancy now. There's a little cafe and everything. * York and Newcastle

I can't wait until I can share a demo of The Museum of Everything so you can meet all the characters. I love them so much.

Webbox Snackibbles might be "sealed for freshness", but they're not sealed from Miss Malkin.

This was a bit of a wild watch for someone whose game was covered by CozyTeaGames (and which subsequently got a little boost in sales) Just to reassure anyone who might wonder, I definitely didn't pay for the review! www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84V...

Spotted in a charity shop. All Sherlock Holmeses made without a matching Watson need to find one, very happy for this pair.

If you read a lot of turn of the 20th century literature, you'll have heard of the Victorian Turkish bath, which involved alternating between very warm, dry chambers of increasing heat, and cold showers and plunge pools.
