Had a great day at MEGACONLIVE ( Manchester ) with three of my daughters. What an amazing experience - a bit of everything including retro gaming, modern day Indie games plus all the usual Anime, COSPLAY, Steampunk etc. I also had a catch-up with former TT Fusion colleague @robhewson.bsky.social

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

For ages I've had this image in my head of eyeballs on stalks flying at me in a game from childhood but couldn't remember it, just the imagery, and couldn't find it. But I've found it!!! The Gates of Zendocon on Atari Lynx: youtu.be/nf9lp9-CRn4?...
