HELLO! My name is Alice Bell. I used to write about games, and now I still do that but also write murder mysteries with ghosts and jokes. The latest is about solving a murder in a pro-wrestling gym and is out now!

The cover of my new book The Grapples Of Wrath. It shows a 2D graphic, block colour scene of a beach, with Brighton pier on the left side. A blue and white striped deckchair sits on yellow sand, under an orange sky. A lucha wrestling mask hangs from the deckchair, and appears to be dripping blood...

An image that includes the key art for Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, which features an alien baby sitting, looking right at you, as small aliens desperately climb up it's body to hold a briefcase full of money, which is being held by one besuited alien who looks very happy about it. This is within a green and white frame which reads "INDIECADE RETROSPECTIVE. 19TH INDIE CADE FESTIVAL. JANUARY 16TH - 30TH". There's a whole bunch of nice stars and shapes surrounding this whole thing.

I know plenty have folks have shared it but in case you missed it, Discord is asking for user opinions on adding AI to the platform. Give em hell and tell them precisely how you feel about it. Including the intent to leave if it's added in.

I started making this and realised I wasn't going to finish it but "star trek episodes as god awful youtube thumbnails" really made me chuckle as a concept.
Nog holds a self sealing stem bolt with one of those pointless red arrows pointing at it. Nog also has weird, bright, human teeth. Jake Sisko is there! He's holding a coffee mug and smiling while the words "cope" are next to him. Also poor old Miles has been turned red and has had fake cartoon tears put on him while he looks in an incredible amount of pain. Behind them aer the words "WE GOT RICH!" and loads of gold press latinum.

Oh hey, new year and a new chance to support creators on Patreon, ko-fi and by commissioning human artists making amazing art!

Leaving this one open to all to REPLY, not QP with your own links. Your own, not someone elses.

Don't let the corpo bullshit machine grind you down.

Keep making weird, beautiful, personal art. None of their shit machines can ever make something as good as you can. Ever. They can only regurgitate soulless husks of the things they stole.

Art will always win.

A hand drawn version of The Clickold sits with a cozy winter jumper on, a Santa hat atop his head as he clutches a gift wrapped in a bow. He is sitting in front of the Strange Scaffold logo, a cube held up by scaffolding, which is covered in christmas lights. A cheeky dinosaur pokes in its head on the left hand corner saying "I hear that weird match 3 game is pretty good..."

I love the @strangescaffold.bsky.social newsletter!

@christapaolucci.com has done an amazing job on this months as a recap of 2025 at the company and I'd like to share a bit from my little section. Thanks!
THANK YOU for supporting us this year. Leaving reviews, telling your friends, reposting our stuff, all help keep the lights on. Thank you! THANK YOU! There’s a bunch of people who are determined to drag all art down into the slop bog so support as many artists as you can in whatever way you can. Now more than ever as ten or so billionaires seem determined to drive us towards a bunch of shit a robot noxiously farted out. Naaaah, not for me, thanks! I like things that are interesting, novel, weird, beautiful and human. Knowing we’re not alone means the world to us. So again I say, THANK YOU! Cheers, thanks a lot, - Chris @ Strange Scaffold

Strange Scaffold Executive Producer, Amanda Farough, will break down the challenges and celebrations of creating a unique take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This talk will demonstrate how the pillars of psychological safety, developer-first production, creativity within constraints, and holistic process development resulted in a critically acclaimed PC and console title made with part-time developers and a modest budget.

Nic & I wrote hundreds of events for Amberspire, so I can say (with some bias) that the game’s world is so considered & interesting, but allows the player to form their own narrative that is reflected back at them in the cities they build.

I’m proud to work on it, and everyone should wishlist it!!

Oh! And "Banjo sets off for another adventure and finds himself in Bloodborne" and rapidly feeling like that's not really the lifestyle that was advertised to him is a VERY solid metaphor for growing up.

I'll be giving Bradley The Badger a go, no question.
