Introducing Moore Games!

Years after wanting to set up a company, I've now finally gone and done it. Nerve wracking and unsure of exactly what the future holds, but the first steps have been taken :)

Welcome to Moore Games! Here's our founder giving a very short introduction to what we can offer.

I don't often post publicly about what we've been through as a family but, if you're in the UK, please give this a watch.

The Joshua Tree helped us through an incredibly difficult time of our lives, and continues to support us and many more.

Reminder that from the beginning of next year I’m available for work!

Writing, narrative design, historical & narrative consultancy, research, teaching.

I’m particularly fond of applying historical approaches to worldbuilding & storytelling in interactive mediums

AETHUS is an underground survival-crafting game, focused around a proper story with full voice-acting, that I'm developing solo after leaving my AAA job!

Think a more story-driven #Subnautica, set in alien caverns... 👩‍🚀⛏️

Check out the demo and wishlist on Steam!

I’ve broken my own rule of ignoring Christmas until after Bonfire Night, but in fairness, Amanda told me to brighten the dark corner in my office.

For the morning crowd (just). We’re looking to celebrate some of our older work, if you’d like to share it with your audience, we’d love to get you some keys.
📢 We're reopening creator keys requests for our older games!

As part of our legacy games celebration, we've got fresh batches of Steam keys for several older titles. If you're a content creator who would like to showcase one of our games, details on how to get keys are below!

If GenAI does finally get good, it’ll become insanely expensive as the investors who have poured billions in attempt to get some money back.

Hopefully governments will have caught up by then and fix the copyright theft.

And even then, the environmental impact still won’t make it worth it.

Now season 1 has finished, I am left wondering if I watched a different show to the one the reviewers did.

It was a relatively compelling sci-fi show. It was not a satisfying addition to the Alien franchise.

As a long standing invert-y person, this article makes me happy.
OK, but who is inverting their horizontal controls?

The biggest takeaway from Alien: Earth is that Noah Hawley really likes Goat Simulator.

Tell me there’s an eyeball add-on skin pack coming for GS3 🙏🏼

Great start to the insight into Machine Games, and fun seeing bits of Uppsala too - a place I’ve only just come back from as I’m working with Neon Giant for a while 😍
🚨NEW DOC ALERT🕹️

In the first of our 3 videos on MachineGames we explore the critical pre-history of the studio.

How Starbreeze designed The Chronicles of Riddick, The Darkness & Envlave. The trouble with Syndicate. And how id Software & Bethesda saved the team.

I gave up fighting it years ago and use Edge, but change the search engine to DuckDuckandGo.

Which it feels like I have to do every week; despite setting it to the default it keeps changing back to bing 👀

Quick holiday trip to the zoo, but took my 17 year old Canon 450d out.

The lens (a 28-135) has never been exactly crisp, but it’s strange how much I think I still prefer using a viewfinder to frame shots.

Mild processing done in Apple Photos as Aperture no longer supported 😢
