Destiny is good because I can get a Warmind crystal for my lightsaber.
9 years ago today I didn’t let the fact I didn’t own a Switch stop me from playing Breath of the Wild on the train.
I Am Fish world map pre-prod mock-up vs final version. Didn't realise how close we stuck to it.
"5 Weirdest Games Ever Made" comicbook.com/gaming/list/... Honestly with the current friendslop trends I think I missed a beat not pushing for the multiplayer sequel "I Am Bread Too".
Saw him in a magazine as a kid, thought he was cool as shit but could never play the game they were in cos it needed the 32X addon and child me had no idea what any of that meant.
Made a new, more manageable list of games to play. I fear this is still a few months worth... 😅
Caught a couple of moments but didn’t want to sit on my phone the whole time. 👀
Attended an amazing BAFTA games concert this Saturday. Was a perfect celebration and good reminder why we make games.
13 years ago today. Cooking up a little something that would become Surgeon Simulator at Global Game Jam 2013.
I set I Am Fish on the border of Cornwall and Devon where I grew up. Since you're fish trying to get back the ocean I made the Tamar Bridge a prominent landmark of most levels to guide players. A few times I've seen comments and videos of a local just shocked that a game has the Tamar Bridge in it.
Death Stranding 2 launch event! I wasn’t expecting a gig and let’s just it was a bit warm.
Somehow our mock Surgeon Simulator website is still up after 12 years. We stuck some solutions to puzzles on there as part of the ARG Alien surgery secret but some of the absolute nonsense we wrote is fun to read back on. barnardshire-general.co.uk/index.html
A player built a skyport in @lostskiesgame.bsky.social. You never get used to what players can pull off when you put creative systems in games :D
Lost Skies made it into the Silver chart on Steam for April releases 🥳
“How’s your game release going?” “Well my plumber from a few months ago reached out to ask for keys.” 😂
Still blindsides me when our games randomly show up on Reddit. The comments are as fascinating as always, with such wrong assumptions on how or who made them 😂
You can now play the Lost Skies demo at #SteamNextFest! bit.ly/LostSkies Been a tough last week for us but we're super proud of what we've made and the reception so far. Build a skyship and grapple around some floating islands! ☁️ #gamedev #indiedev
Playing Genshin Impact to escape reality and it's like nah mate.
Aye that's fucked. Not like there is ongoing server costs or anything??
12 years today that we made something that changed our lives. Here was the first video of Surgeon Simulator. Showed the importance of just having fun controlling a game. Little did we know 😄 #indiegames #gamedev
Today we launch Don’t Get Got. Co op horror battle royale 👀 Getting scared by your own game design was certainly an experience. s.team/a/3467390 #indiegames #gamedev
I Am Bread is 10 years old today! I grabbed a screenshot of us almost topping Steam but alas, I'm not sure it'd even get close nowadays. I also hate we didn't capitalise the "am" 😂 #gamedev
Video games hit peak immersion in 2006 when Alyx blocks the torch light if you point it at her.
