Delighted to say that @boxofgreebles.bsky.social , our new studio, is off to Gamescom thanks to @techscaler.bsky.social ! @starkholborn.bsky.social will be there representing us. Ask her about our weird subway horror game!

Had a great time pitching with Converge last night for the Create Change category. Excited to tell people about our new game studio Box of Greebles and the weird games we're making!

Over the next 2 days @starkholborn.bsky.social and I will have SIXTEEN meetings with publishers at the @londongamesfest.bsky.social Wish us luck with our wee game! And if you're there too, come say hi. We're not hard to spot.

Reading about Vikings for my novel set in the Borders and I love how nervous these guys always look in the original art.

I've been doing this SGDA Scottish government accelerator program for people starting their own game studios, and someone came up to me and asked, "Hey... were you CalmDownTom?"

Aww nice. My game Best Served Cold on a "best games of 2025" list by NPR! www.npr.org/2025/12/03/n...

Happy to say that next week I officially start the SGDA accelerator program for starting a new studio! So, you know, no announcements just yet.... But read between the lines and follow me here if you're a composer, 2D artist, voice actor or narrative-type person!

Had a great time at OH Con this weekend. Did a few talks that went really well, met some amazing authors and keen young writers, and saw brilliant costumes. The best part for me was the welcoming vibe from the organisers and their enthusiasm for the event. Thanks for having us Stornaway!

Really excited to travel up to Stornaway for Oh!Con today. On Saturday I'll be doing 2 workshops - one for new fantasy writers and games writers looking to get started, the other for writing nonviolent games with engaging dialogue.

I'm speaking at @GamesTalksLive next week. Words can be more exciting than bullets! Come learn how to make cyberpunk games without guns, cops or cyborg gun cops. (Works on other genres too!) www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sgda-prese...

Did a wee reading of my weird time travel story at the Tantallon Tìr Book Launch. Glad to see a new Scottish publisher pop up in these chaotic times. @tantallontir.bsky.social

Had a lovely time speaking at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org this evening. Great event with an impeccable vibe.

I'm going to be speaking at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org about why you should write buddy cops in your games. Even if they're not buddies. Or cops! Hope to see some of you there. Let me know if you want to chat!

Hello fellow NB's! I just learned we have a day (I am learning a lot!)

Yoooo! Play our game on consoles now.

The hardest line in fiction was written on this canvas mushroom bag.

My current favourite Best Served Cold Review: I didn't write it in a lab. I made it in coffee shops! Eating pastries!

Had a V good birthday.

Life advice from me, via this slightly on-the-nose line I wrote for Maria in Best Served Cold.

Totally blown away by the first reviews of Best Served Cold. Obviously also nice to see the writing singled out as a highlight. The queerness too!

Trans people belong here. Good turnout in Glasgow yesterday.

At 44 years old (and after 15 minutes of deep breathing outside the nail salon), I managed to psych myself up enough to go in and get the very silly acrylic nails I've secretly been obsessed with.

When you come out as NB a pair of these dungarees just appears at your house.

We made very silly cards for my new game Best Served Cold for Valentines. Have a good one!

The FIRST comment I read about Best Served Cold. It's going to end up being the best one too, innit?

Happy Lunar New Year from Feng Bai and all the cast of my new game, Best Served Cold. Demo EXTREMELY soon!

"Fix their hearts or die," is my favourite line in fiction. Being nonbinary, it was amazing to have your favourite creator says this in his work. Himself. RIP

He was heard to say "Oh no, this is the last thing I wanted to happen."
