Tropic of Dinosaur IS OUT!!!
It's a being walked simulator about aging made of clay, tangerine peel, sigarette ends and children's obscene drawings

Go check it out in the first issue of Game Poems magazine along with other beautiful games👇

Thank you for playing and sharing!

Simple, brilliant, addictive.
It’s so good. ❤️
Time to climb! Cairn is available now.

Mount Kami awaits, unconquered.

This is what you trained for: fight for every meter of the climb and rise to the challenge.

Every now and then an itch comment turns up on an old folk game, and it quietly makes my day. ❤️

I haven’t been this excited for a game release in years. So pumped! 🤩 ❤️
What are you most excited for? Climbing anywhere? The challenge? Adventure? The sweeping story? The beauty of the Mountain?

Whatever you’re waiting for, our climbing game Cairn is here, TOMORROW!

🎙️ I Talked About Playful Learning!

Just did my first-ever podcast with @athanateus.bsky.social on @gamedevlocal.bsky.social 🎮

We dug into what makes learning playful, why gamification falls short, and how game mechanics can teach.

Haven’t playtested Hive & Seek in a while - itching to bring it back to the next Playtest UK meetup!

I always come away with new ideas… feels like it’s getting real close to done 🤞

🚨 I’ll be at Develop next week, pitching Oubliette - a first-person roguelike set in freefall beneath 1950s Paris.

Any tips for a first-timer? 😱

We're also showcasing at Brilliant Indie Treasures from 4-8pm, if you want to have a go! 🎮

Loving the energy here - so many good student and grad games on display.

If you’re around, come say hi and try our occult roguelike descent through 1950s Paris 👀🎮

Just played Peak and I’m obsessed.

A chill climbing game with a shared world regenerated weekly, streamlined survival mechanics, and clean coop interactions.

It feels simple, but there’s real depth underneath. Surprises, discovery, vibes.

Peak is peak multiplayer design.

🎮 Been thinking about how prototyping isn’t just for early dev - it’s a mindset.

My 1st smuggling-FTL prototype was a mess.
2nd version? Cleaner, more fun, and faster to make.

Prototypes or features, it's the same.
Focus on making it playable first - then improve it.

Throwback to Droplet - my first real game release. Just a silly endless faller on mobile… but I learned so much!

Biggest takeaway? Analytics are gold.
I saw where players quit, what they bought, where they got stuck.

Honestly changed how I think about game design.

🎮 Showing Oubliette at Interactive Futures today with @lucfoster.bsky.social!

Wild to be back in Leamington Spa - studied just up the road at Warwick uni and lived here for years. Big nostalgia vibes.

Come say hi if you’re around!

I'm already 10h into @duneawakening.com and I’m already hooked.

I don’t play many MMOs, but the mix of survival, base-building, and reckless sandworm baiting is great.

Curious to see how deep the Landsraad politics will go in the end game. Anyone else trying it?

📋🍕 Ran the Kanban Pizza Game workshop for our first-year MA Game Dev students at @nftsfilmtv.bsky.social!

Like an IRL Overcooked, it's a great intro to Agile: fast iteration cycles, feedback loops, WIP limits... and it's always so much fun!
