It's kinda punk rock when other people put stickers of your indie game on corporate merch.

Just came out of @blubberbaleen.bsky.social's show [whalesong] and it was a very cool sound play about voices and noises in the sea. If you're at the Edinburgh Fringe and want to see something weird and different go see their show. Plus it's free!

My copy of @victoriatran.bsky.social's new book is here 🤩

Excited to read it as part of Book Club at @igdafoundation.org. I've read a few chapters already and so far the book is very easy to read and funny!

Played my first mega game this weekend called the Future Imperative set in 2040 and centered around global climate action.

Needless to say Brazil spent most of the time putting out literal fires while bigtech purchased Hong Kong and turned it into a cyberpunk hellscape.

Earlier this year Pip Pepper won the Most OSHA Compliant award at Playapalooza in Dundee ✨

Pip is so grateful to play a small role in (accidentally) promoting the importance of health & safety 🐥🦺

Crazy that it's been a year! So much has happened since and even more in the works.
It is time once again for SXSW in Austin! We hope everyone attending this year has a fantastic time.

Last year at SXSW '24 our little bird game won awards for design and the grand prize at the Just Play awards ceremony! 🌻
