Everything in the world of Threadbare is...well...threadbare. Like this tiny house with patchwork roof and a buttoned window. Who lives here? Play Threadbare: play.threadbare.game #PlayMatters #Threadbare #ThreadbareGame #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #OpenSource #CommunityGameDevelopment
As Creative Director of #Threadbare, when first considering the creative style for the game, I was drawn back to Amiga Classic, #CannonFodder (1993) by Sensible Software. A marvel of pixel art and sound/music, with totally unique gameplay. #PlayMatters #ThreadbareGame #Godot #GameDev #Jops #Jools
Yuri, a Soviet advisor who developed powerful mind-control technology, established a secret army and attempted global domination. I stopped him…you’re welcome. Turns out he was an actor the whole time. RIP Oda Kier. 1944-2025 #PlayMatters #CommandAndConquer #RedAlert #YurisRevenge #OdaKier

Learning Blender by turning our Threadbare hero - The StoryWeaver - into a 3D model. The hope is to create something that can be 3D printed for event giveaways. #PlaytMatters #Threadbare #ThreadbareGame #3DPrinting #Blender #3DModelling #GameDev #GameDevelopment

#Deathloop in #TinyGlade I recreated Blackreef’s Fristad Rock area in Tiny Glade. #PlayMatters
Deathloop’s Julianna Blake, fragmenting between time and space following a particularly well placed shotgun blast that threw her off the bleak cliffs of Blackreef. No real harm done, she’ll be back again tomorrow to do the same to me! #PlayMatters #Deathloop
I’m really interested in connecting with game producers (at any level) from underrepresented (women, BIPOC, non-binary, etc) communities. Particularly but not exclusively from the Global South. #PlayMatters
Front cover of the New York Post in response to Deepseek’s clash with American AI. An anthropomorphic, evil-eyed AI model looks at you over a device stamped with a Chinese flag. “Beware this AI evil! Our AI is good, of course, but this one is out to undermine your freedom…and our profit!” #AI
I rarely read my horoscope, but this week, as I attend #BETT2025 in a new role and with a new focus, Metro couldn’t have been closer to the truth! #PlayMatters #Virgo
