Very cool indeed.
Mindset, a puzzle so pure it would work in a newspaper, is now in a newspaper. The Observer started running it today.

Cat for scale.

Looking at Next Fest - back of vape packet maths implies there's, on average, around 23 games a day being released between now and the next one.

Good times.

I haven't read this yet but I'm assuming it confirms the fact that those who invert the Y-axis are very cool and everyone else is just weird.

I'm sorry not all of the team was around last night. But noting the contribution of those who couldn't make it, here's an exclusive behind the scenes look at a proper grown up publisher launching a game, a Steam festival, some new demos, and announcing a new signing.
