Today marks 13 years since I officially joined the games industry, and this studio. #GameDev
Worked on a lot of games in that time. Mostly porting to lower powered systems, lots of mobile and Switch work. A few of my favourite projects over the years:

Gamers really love Indie Games (when they're discounted). @positrongame.com sales for the past year (excluding the launch spike of about 80 units sold). I routinely offer a flat 25% discount during sale periods, and don't intend to go lower. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #Steam #Sale

I'm considering making a single level playable demo of @positrongame.com that runs in browser, to attract more players to the full version on Steam. Shouldn't be too difficult as I made a simple level preview in WebGL ten years ago. martincaine.com/webgl/positr...

Another GaMaYo done. Thanks to the organisers and all those who came and played @positrongame.com. Might have even sold a few copies which is a bonus, as it's not really a consumer facing event.

Not to brag, but I just played all the way through a game that's been sitting unplayed in my Steam library for 11 years.
It CAN be done! Believe in yourself, and you can do it too!

Is anyone I know demoing at To The Moon Expo today? How's it been? How many players have you had? Any photos or videos to share?
We had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict (and an opportunity to exhibit later in the month at Rezzed/EGX/MCM).

Walking back home, almost midnight. See someone laid face down on the pavement. Rolled them over, an older gentleman, blood on his hand, mumbled a bit, wouldn't wake up, but breathing. Ambulance came out and saw to him within 25 minutes. Smelt of weed they said. Glad he was OK.

No shit; "Not enough time to change train". Luckily the app notified me of the delay and we were able to jump in an Uber to Mirfield.

Another hand drawn card made for one of my kids' birthday tomorrow. I'm not artistic enough to do this from scratch, but can copy close enough from a reference image :-) #OnePiece #Luffy #HappyBirthday
