Experienced #GameDev and hobby #Writer. I've been around the games industry block from junior designer to head of multiple studios. Up to new things with cool people but can't say what yet. ♥️
The games industry can be tough, especially now. One of its kindest and most talented people risks being separated from their cat without enough funds to get home. They’re nearly there, just need a little more to cover the unexpected. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/46nx8t-rel...

Why Tolkien thought "sub-creation" was the secret to great fantasy and science fiction
According to Tolkien, fantasy requires a deep imagination known as "sub-creation." And the genre reflects a fundamental truth of being human.

What with everything that happened at the end of last year, I've been in recovery mode but it's #GDC2025 so I'm dusting myself off and looking forward to catching up with old colleagues and meeting new ones. ♥️

This is a fantastic list of indie games you should play at least once.
I'd also add our own Somerville game onto this list, but I'm biased. ❤️

I've honestly never really believed in any take on the "metaverse" until @playerunknown.net pitched me his version a while ago: it has to be a protocol. Closer to HTTP than a social media site. We'll see where this one goes.

One of my daughters partners is a train enthusiast and the first ever game I made was MS Train Simulator, so we've had this piece of train fun running around our tree all Christmas.

In our game you possess the creatures of the deep with your soul. This is something I think about a lot.
If I was to possess creatures with my soul in real life I’d choose the humble barracuda.
