Since we released Threadbare, so many of you have told us the main theme helps you settle and focus, so we've created a "Frays End" seamless one-hour loop. Play ‘Frays End’ and lose yourself in the Weave...for a while. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrKd... #PlayMatters #Threadbare #GameDev

Fantastic day in London with @drkowert.bsky.social. Larger than life is an understatement. Such a beautiful heart and soul. Thank you for a fun-filled afternoon, Hero. #PlayMatters
Today I got to spend time in a city I adore with a person I adore. A bright light in this dystopian timeline. London + @stephenreidedu.bsky.social + a bit of fun = good for the soul

As Creative Director of #Threadbare, when first considering the creative style for the game, I was drawn back to Amiga Classic, #CannonFodder (1993) by Sensible Software. A marvel of pixel art and sound/music, with totally unique gameplay. #PlayMatters #ThreadbareGame #Godot #GameDev #Jops #Jools
Yuri, a Soviet advisor who developed powerful mind-control technology, established a secret army and attempted global domination. I stopped him…you’re welcome. Turns out he was an actor the whole time. RIP Oda Kier. 1944-2025 #PlayMatters #CommandAndConquer #RedAlert #YurisRevenge #OdaKier

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚 Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩 #visualnovel #gamedev #steam

In 2014 I ran a custom-made shipping container called the PlayBox, posing as a time travelling Maker Space. Using arts and crafts, old junk, TinkerCad, Minecraft, and 3D Printers, we made 10,000 robots! Public engagement was off the charts. www.playfulanywhere.fun/past-march-o... #PlayMatters
