Update - Due to a few days job issues, my next fest coverage has been delayed on my YT.
Hopefully be able to record some more tonight and get first wave of recording done on Sunday night prepared for release.
Tonight I will be going through others checklists for #steamnextfest - anything I need to get my eyes on let me know. I will be doing 3 quick look videos each day for the festival on Youtube for it. #indie
Roses are red,
Violets are too,
If you fall under the mower,
That’s what happens to you
Happy Super Bowl, especially to all the Australians who’ll get a dirty little chuckle at all their American friends spending the day enthusiastically rooting*
*it means “fucking” in Aussie slang, which I discovered at age 9 and I still
find unreasonably funny
Turnbound (Early Access - 2026) - Autobattler with folk heroes (Robin Hood/Alice) with vibes of Backpack Hero/Battles. Good twist of the genre with some good themed items. Do you do a power run with Monkey King, A sleep effect run with Alice, or ramp dodges and effects with Robin Hood
#codeprovided
Its still early access but have to say When a run comes together its fun. It can feel grindy at times and feel like some folk have better choice of equipment. Good autobattler that has massive potential. #autobattler #justonemorego
Time to try some #turnbound @1TKgames - #Alice #monkeyking #robinhood - thoughts on game and video up later. #codeprovided
Beltmatic (2024) - Another cheap puzzler picked up in new years sales on PC. Loved the shapez series and loved #notionalgames spin on the idea. Can get a bit grindy the higher you go - but its all about automating those belts. #pc #steam #puzzler
Pure Logic (2023) - Love a good cheap puzzler and this fit the bill. Had a few hours figuring out some simple puzzles and with its sale price - definitely did it justice. 6/10 - good game, one to pick up when on sale. #purelogic #pc
Content consumed in 2026, Here is a list of Games, Movies, TV Shows with mini-reviews that I have given a go in 2026. I will periodically update this - will try and also label what year its out, if before 2026.
Long time no see Blue Sky peeps. Had a few slow months due to other stuff happening. But we start fresh in this new year. Hobby creation work continues. I love finding new stuff I havent tried and lets create some interesting challenges as I go.

So #ToTheMoonExpo is trending as the next Dashcon / Fyre /Willy Wonker etc on Twitter. I wanted to write something constructive❤️ for #indiedev community to use the next 'opportunity' - covers the history of red flags but the type of due diligence you can do for free mrsgame.dev/2025/11/why-...
41 mana left, when I get 4 per turn. Bloody hell. #becomethemoon
What has been one of your surprise hidden gems of this year so far? Mine has to be #BecometheMoon, a quirky card/ autobattler. 10 characters that all play differently and a quirky set of monsters/magic cards to use. #hiddengem #justonemorego
Recorded another hour of Squiggle Ball last night, bloody good sports manager type puzzle in a way. Do you go for good players on one year deals or go for average on 2-3 year deals? #squiggleball #pc #puzzle #afl
when you try and talk to me during sex
🆚 MD3! Newcastle at Elland Road!
A screenshot from "Is This Seat Taken?" A group of shapes with legs waits at a train stop. A pentagon with red cheeks named Salem has a text box above it, saying "I'm your friend and I'm telling you to play more indie games." Their companion, a triangle with red cheeks, looks at them with a frown.
Is This Seat Taken takes a beautifully simple premise – sitting people in chairs – and iterates on it in consistently creative and exciting ways. It's an experience we'd even recommend to people who don't usually play games. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/is-th...
Played and enjoyed. Ended up with a 1-4 record, not bad for a novice. Is #madden26 any good? Yes and no. It's got a good difficulty curve and gameplay is pretty good. the UI continues to be clunky. Too many screens in franchise mode (played off camera). So on field 7/10, off field 4/10.
Been a while since I have played a Madden Game, since I have EA Play. Lets try and win a hardest difficulty game in the last few hours on the trial. Starting on Twitch in 10 minutes. Should have time for 3 full games. #madden26 #nfl - (Only been playing franchise mode so far)
That's a massive gap between those newly promoted and those who are battling for top of prem. It's gonna be a long season.
This isn't another corporate "games expo", this is YOUR event 🖤

On my list for Youtube videos to record over next few days, my first full tries at Tiny Book Shop and The Royal Writ. Then a look at 0.3.3 release of Tower Factory. #busybee (should be up over the weekend)
More #indiegame quick looks and demo looks in the pipeline. Will reveal more when I am at home tomorrow. Busy bee at the mo
Another week, here we go. tonight/tomorrow will finish schedule.
Retro month continues on YT. Since I have #EAplay - will be looking at #mirrorsedge (2007) and maybe a few others in their back catalog.
twitch wise - FMV fun at weekends. Maybe a month long golf challenge. Hmm

Next up, I tried Birdigo by @toboggan.work and @johnaugust.bsky.social Terrific cross between Wordle and Balatro. Some runs will go well and some - if you dont adjust will suffer. Love the idea of the migrating birds been the levels and good powerup design.
Next up, I tried the early build of #SlumberRealm by
@chuggagames.bsky.social - an interesting take on dungeon crawling in your dreams. Love the 90s theme and the day/night cycle in the weapons.
