Trying to be more thoughtful
It's fantastic to not have to! Now when I shoot barrels it's for personal gratification and not professional obligation 🔫🛢️💥
...but to QA, that's not a simple bug. if one barrel has the wrong layer, maybe more do? Maybe we should explode every barrel in the game, to double-check? Maybe we should do that before every release?

Their checklist has just grown a little bit with a task that’s repetitive and error-prone. 🫠

thanks for your support! it means a lot!

This guy knows Automated Testing!
I guarantee any time spent with him will have an enormous payoff for your game dev projects!

Do you want to chat #automatedtesting at #gdc2025? I'd be very happy to meet people either already using, or thinking about starting, test automation.

I offer training and consulting services, but I'm also excited to just hear what you're planning, so don't be shy!

Happy Heart Day from southern India... whoever ordered the 3 meter tall giant heart of roses to be delivered by auto-rickshaw sure has raised the romance bar pretty high! 😁 ❤️

I genuinely think this may be the greatest photo I have ever taken. I haven't been able to decide if it is a snail riding a turtle like a horse, or a turtle wearing a snail as a cute hat. Either way, what a lovable team!

I've been playing a load of Spiderman remastered on steam, and there's a musical motif played throughout the city that beautifully echoes the patriotic "I Love Vagina Camilla" song from Charlie's coronation.

The game predates the event so I guess I'm accusing someone.

...in so many ways, this iconic cinema masterpiece was trying to prepare us for the post-lockdown COVID era. I'm not saying Bruckheimer knew it was coming, but as a futurist and philosopher he was clearly giving us the emotional tools he knew we would need.

... When Nick tried to hand the rabbit to his daughter and she recoils, this tells us so much about the human experience, and the transition of a relationship from the idealism of occasional shared letters to the bitter reality of face to face meetings surrounded by fire engines and dead convicts...

In Con Air, the stuffed rabbit IS nick cage. The long ears reflect his long hair, the plastic bag represents his prison cell, he wants to present this ideal version of himself to his daughter. As the narrative unfolds and nick gets injured, so to does the rabbit become filthy and frankly scary....

Scrooge, arriving at his employee's family home on his one day off with a large group of strangers and a huge raw turkey: "ghosts showed me your family Christmas last night and you were a bit rude about me, so I'm here to make a huge fuss and generally make this whole day about me and my redemption"

Scrooge pretending not to have any patience for banter, while also staffing his company purely with sassy rats and a frog, and then leaving them to close all the windows and blinds after he leaves for the day.

Rollerdrome is ridiculously cheap on steam btw, if you want to support IP-hoarding media conglomerates 👍

Great fun this evening catching up with my these lovely people from the last days of Roll7
Huge thanks to @tenpn.bsky.social for organising it and putting together a (definitely not traumatising) quiz!
First time so many of us got together virtually in months!

Lots of posts about last night's Game Awards... For those about Turok, we salute you.

8 years ago I came up with the following joke:

"I was supposed to feed my rabbit but instead I relaxed... I really let my hare down."

My friend said it was a poor pun, as those are two different animals.

So, has anyone out there got any other jokes which don't stand up to scrutiny?

I absolutely love when the relative size of a character is demonstrated on screen using duplicate props at different scales. This is used to great effect in Infinity War, in which we see the mad titan Thanos handing out enormous candy bars shortly after obtaining the mind stone.

Proud of Roll7 alum Aubrey for making a beautiful and fun pinball game, check it out!!
Gooood afternoon Bluesky!
I've been working on a little #indiegame. And it's made me fall back in love with game dev.

Our phones can be too much. Be soothed by Yosh Pinball!

Very excited to see what these LEGENDS are working on!

You know what they say about one door closing, right?

I've been busy cooking up something new and exciting with a couple of Roll7 pals!

It's a little too early to share what we're up to just yet, but I can't wait to tell you all more about it! 🙌

Watch this space... 👀
We're coming up on 6 months since the Roll7 gang parted ways. The last few years at the studio were easily the best of my life and i'm eternally grateful for the amazing friends I made and the incredible career milestones we achieved together. Treasured memories ❤️

Trump's favourite piece of classical music is "attrape-les" (roughly translates to Grab Them) by Debussy.
