The editor's letter from an issue of Xbox World in 2003.

My genius was already blindingly evident in 2003. Just glad I lived up to my potential. Thanks (I think), @freshmattic.bsky.social.

This week we talk to @aresundnes.hypergames.no about the upcoming release of Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth, 14 years of Hyper Games, and the opportunities that funds like @wingsfund.me represent for the industry as a whole. Tune in on Friday to read more: bit.ly/knowledgenewsletter

It took me 2 years and 5000+ hours to make this indie game.
And it takes you 2 seconds to engage and maybe change my life.

Currently at 9700 wishlists. Can we round it up?? ;)

It's called Maseylia: Echoes of the Past. A 3D platformer metroidvania inspired by Moebius, releasing in 2026.

Hi I wrote about the making of classic platformerChuckie Egg and talked to its creator Nigel Alderton. Please give it a read as I want to show there’s an audience for this gaming history stuff 🙏

A promotional image presenting the game The Abbess Garden, with the key art including a 17th century peasant and an abbey, which is now available on Indie Pass, a subscription service for indie games :)

If you like playing + discovering indie games and owning games is not something important to you, take a look at the Indie Pass :)

It's like the Game pass but for indie games. It was just launched last week! It's quite cheap, and now my game is there too :)

An island chain with Very French Names.

Six of Marsh's fabulously and sinister character illustrations for GOLD TEETH. Eighteenth century hats and wigs abound.

Six non-player characters designed by Marsh Davies, each set within a picture frame reflecting their demeanour. Meet them on the high seas, and in low places in GOLD TEETH.

A port on an island where things are not going smoothly for the powers that be.

Hey, so we recently posted these extremely fine maps and character designs by @marshdavies.bsky.social in an update for our GOLD TEETH backers.

Might as well do the same here, because you can still pre-order: www.kickstarter.com/projects/149... Our pirate RPG book should absolutely not be missed!

Bloody hope so!

Ignoble if so. We reached for the stars, Ste.

First I've heard of it if it has. The publisher went bust. Honestly no idea who even has the rights anymore.

Be careful what you say to your bot. If you think you're not being recorded, more fool you.

Why I’m embracing the latest uncool thing in gaming ‘Unc’ is meant to disparage older players who favour slow-paced shooters and epic narrative games, but the industry should make games for all generations

Or, as I wasn't allowed to headline it: long live the unc game

I was terrible at it. Like, the third screen was a PB. I just remember the little man in the hat and the eggs.

Worst than that, this bill would allow judges to settle matters on implies and thoughts, like "has this person expressed an implied call for terrorism ?"

How can you judge on such uncertainty ? How can you decide in the name of the law what anyone has THOUGHT and implicitely MEANT ?

Oh my life. I played this so much (Spectrum, obv). I was 10 years old when this came out.

Hope JD Vance comes to the UK to endorse Farage next.

La défaite de Viktor Orban en Hongrie : un séisme politique européen Après 16 ans au pouvoir, Viktor Orban l’« illibéral » a été largement battu dimanche, malgré le soutien de l’administration Trump dont le vice-président JD Vance est venu le soutenir à Budapest. Le va...

But anyway. Orban's out so I'm chalking today up as a win.

This is a French judge on the insanity of the "Loi Yadan". If it passes, it'll become illegal to "call for the destruction of a state". It's ostensibly designed to stop antisemitism in France. In reality, you could be charged as a "terrorist" for publicly opposing Israel ("implicit" terrorism).

I want to echo Rami's call to play and review the House of Hikmah, and while I'm not one to rock the boat, I do also want to call on other outlets to cover the game.

It currently has only 3 reviews on MetaCritic, and needs at least 4 to get an aggregated score. Help people find this beautiful game.
