Haha! I just had my first couple of unfollowers playing the numbers game.

You mean I actually post stuff about games and nothing else?! Yep. Promoting games is the name of the game. Ahem.

Follow only if you're going to stick around, not if it's to boost your numbers, silly sausages.

We all love a good samurai yarn, right? Then check out side-scrollin' hack 'n' slash The Spirit of the Samurai during the last hours of #steamnextfest.

More so if you love Trek to Yomi with a bit of colour.

Hello Bluesky!

I've heard this is a good place to be, so let's see! I am a solo developer of retro point-and-click horror games, currently working on a folk horror set in Venice called Carnival, which should be released in the next few months on Steam. Looking forward to connecting!

It's not that I'm being lazy, as there are a few reviews due next week and not enough time to write about all the #steamnextfest titles.

Can I signpost you towards Disorder? It's like Cryptmaster, but way, way darker, and it's one of my favourites so far.

Opinion piece: I don't think Bluesky is the utopia that people think it is. People are people, and they'll be an influx of all sorts that disagree with you no matter where you go.

That said, I think this platform is swell, easy to use, and because YOU are currently reading it, the best.

BMX Bastards is by far the best BMX game ever. At the very least, the customisation in this demo is unbeatable. Try it for yourself via the #steamnextfest and make sure that you wishlist it.

Hi new followers!

Here's the game I'm working on right now when I'm not working at Crytek. It has a super unique country-based difficulty system and shows something you have never seen before.

If you can, help me spread the word about it on Bluesky!

You can Wishlist it here: s.team/a/2580020
