hi everyone. while the industry's still hellbent on calling anyone who makes /weird/ games "not a real dev" @baftagames.bsky.social decided that maybe people making things with three quid and a piece of string know what they're talking about, actually

i'm part of bafta breakthrough 2025
Game developer Stanley loved playing The Sims as a child, not because of what happens in the game but because, in simulating life, it allowed him to concoct his own narratives for the varied characters within its fantasy world. One Games Design & Production BSc later, Stanley has been channelling that love for storytelling into his own authored games. Creating the writing, art, coding and almost everything else himself, often on the micro-est of microbudgets. Stanley’s breakthrough project, LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST (2024), is as provocative and explicit in discourse as it is in title. A beautifully written, transgressive work of interactive fiction, it leans into Stanley’s own experiences of the trans masculine and online space and its multi-layered narrative earned him the 2024 New Media Writing Prize. He’s currently a PhD student at the University of Salford and working on his next solo game, CHILDREN OF HELL. In their own words… “Because I’m trans, I thought I would be overlooked for BAFTA Breakthrough, because we always are, but I decided to do the application anyway. I didn’t think it would go anywhere, and now it’s a reality I want to make the most of it. But I want to stress how I am, in many ways, an exception. I wanted to strike out and do my own thing against what the mainstream is doing, and I was just fortunate enough to be born middle class and have a support network that let me do that. We should be here and we’re often not, especially because we’re making weirder, more experimental games than mainstream gaming, and hopefully I can champion and elevate the people who brought me here. That’s how I want to make the most of it.”

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

"Why does Sonic need a car?" motherfucker why do YOU? You can run everywhere too if you want to but here you are. Maybe address north american urban design so we can get some 15 minute cities, and quality public transit options.

NEW: the new game Dispatch is a huge hit (1 million copies!). But few people know how close it came to never existing.

Here's the wild story, from a canceled Splinter Cell game (scoop!) to a Telltale divorce to the founders not taking paychecks for six months: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.
