Thanks for the great response to the Worms DC Expansion Pack news, it’s made my day. Can’t wait till August 7th for you all to get your hands on it. We couldn’t celebrate Worms’ 30th anniversary without celebrating the Amiga which made it all possible.
August 7th sees the release of the official Expansion Pack for Worms: The Director’s Cut on the Amiga: Over 40 new custom levels Over 50 sample sets 10 new landscape types Massive thanks to everyone who has contributed to this project. Stay tuned for more details! 🪱
I’ll be giving a talk about Worms at Kickstart 3 in August, which looks to be a great event. They are pulling out all the stops! More details and tickets here: retro.directory/browse/event... Hope to see some of you there! 🪱
Really lovely surprise arrived today from Team17! Thank you for believing in me and my game, and for all the support you have shown over the years
32 years ago today Commodore went bankrupt. It broke my heart at the time, without the Amiga I would never have achieved my dream. It opened doors in the industry for so many people. Here’s to all the crazy, passionate people that gave us the most beloved computer ever made 🍻
It’s a lovely Bank Holiday Monday in the UK 🌞 Milo is having a busy day bird watching.
Worms x Eric W. Schwartz Dual-layer custom level by @ericwschwartz.bsky.social, part of the free Worms DC Expansion Pack. Includes Llamasoft, Turrican and many other levels, as well as new landscapes and sample-sets. A 1.1 update to the game itself is also in the works. Details soon.
This is simply brilliant. My favourite film in years. Go in blind and enjoy.

The first review of Worms, in CU Amiga. They were big fans of the game. When we first showed them it, they kept the power on in their offices over the weekend so they could continue playing on the Monday after we had taken the disks away 💾
Say hello to Milo. Found the Christmas tree on the floor 3 times already.
For those in Wakefield, Worms is now exhibited in Wakefield Museum. It was an honour to see the game here, and I hope it can inspire the next generation of game makers out there.
Had a great time at Team17 yesterday for the Worms 30th anniversary party. Everyone got a Concrete Donkey plush, which is one of the best things I’ve ever seen! Thanks to Ash and everyone else involved for organising it. Here’s to 30 years more! 🪱

Next week's guest is @rockandrollmachine.bsky.social, creator of legendary multiplayer series Worms, the game that pits artillery-wielding soil dwellers in a fight to the death. This is one you won’t want to miss (with your sheep or banana bomb): bit.ly/43RMgx9
Today’s reading, another awesome issue of @retrogamermag.bsky.social! Proud to see Worms listed as one of the 10 Amiga Killer Apps.
Worms x Llamasoft Thanks to Jeff Minter. Custom level by P-A Gustafsson. Regarding the 1.5 update sadly my mum passed away in January, and also going back to 30 year old code has proved trickier than I thought. But I’m making steady progress again, and will update you all soon.
