Slide transitions still tacky? Can text gradually appear? Are images floating in a bad idea?

I have no idea.

All I know is to not wack whole paragraphs of text on a page, align everything correctly, make sure nothing is stretched and under no circumstances use a white background.

#PowerPoint fun

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era just released a demo! 🏹

The official Early Access release date has been moved to 2026. But you don't have to wait any longer to get your first look at the next installment of this epic strategy series.

Get it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3241970/...

#simtechlive features some hyper realistic masks, 3D scanning of objects, wound making, loads of other stuff (technical term) and the chance to sit in a helicopter.

But more importantly for me it gets me excited about trying new things, both for sim tech and game dev.

I spend a lot of time talking about all the things historical games do wrong when representing (or, mostly, not representing) women in the past - for a change, here I wrote about some games which I think do something better and more interesting in their depictions of historical women & girls!

Being in the UK I had to confirm on Bluesky that I am indeed an adult and definitely am not 3 kids in a trench coat. I am the most adult man and conduct business.

Excited to be @developconference.com in Brighton for the next few days!

Last time I was at the Doubletree by Hilton Brighton Metropole it was for a simulation conference, expecting less manikins and maybe more dragons this time?

Take a photo for an ID card they said, It'll be fun they said. Here I am having fun

We are doing a public playtest tonight! I share this not to cause fomo (because we just can’t get all y’all in quite yet) but as evidence the game dev is going well. Hoping we can remove the NDA later this year.

Airport iced americano before heading off to Iceland for some worldbuilding inspiration.

Good morning BlueSky! I was drafting this post yesterday when the news of more #layoffs hit, and I couldn’t find the heart to finish. But I’m going to plow through. What’s going on in #gaming right now? Let’s look at some charts and data. A 🧵!

On the plus side I am an AMAZING ideas guy. AMAZING. Magic system has fire.

I didn't manage (or even start my reread) before #WindAndTruth came out.

So in the UK some very nice people decide to #Crochet #PostBoxTopper at various times of the year. Here's one from Christmas 2023. I happened to be walking past this post box today (currently unadorned) and was reminded of last year.

Is this the place to post photos of #bluesky?

Just a friendly reminder that we're still in autumn, and winter hasn't quite started yet.
