Here is a small reminder that I 'released' a new puzzle game on Reddit at the start of this year. It's called Stackword and you build towers of words by removing, adding or changing letters each time.
It's tactile and good and now works on iOS and Android too! Try it here: reddit.com/r/stackword

This is so good. Also touches on Exile at the end, a game that was as far ahead of its time as Elite. It took years for designers to learn its' lessons, if they ever did - most people haven't played it but you can glimpse it in every metroidvania, every physics puzzle game, every emergent roguelike.
Jeremy C. Smith loved physics, and the BBC Micro, and made some ingenious games that combined the two. His biggest success came with a pre-emptive port to the C64, of a game which refined Atari's Gravitar and added much funnier ways to fail. New post on Thrust:

Iran has killed all connections to the outside. But in the early morning the regular internet works briefly. In that time, @hackimi.bsky.social sent me a letter about what it's like being a developer without the internet as the government tries to squash everyone:

A Game Developer Without Internet
Iran has been without internet for 9 days. Arash sent a letter as a developer without the internet, in the few moments when the great firewall faltered.

AAAHHHH this is such good news. This is such good good news.
Something positive: Spry Fox is spinning out of Netflix. We are independent (once again!) and preparing to launch Spirit Crossing.
We wrote up a little blog post musing about this wild adventure. Worth sharing the good news.

I put my new word puzzle game Stackword on Reddit. A few aesthetic things left to sort but it's close to done now. This was one of the final steps, because _theoretically_ it will just sit there in its own sub forever* and kick out a new puzzle every day.
