Dangerous thoughts. I got too naughty and now am severely tempted to keep working on the thing, even though I’m not supposed to be making another game 🙈
Getting ready for Play Praxis 2moro
Oh it looks fantastic, well done!
her favourite colour is obviously purple...she dyed her hair for it. but since that wasn't an option, she had to pick something else. what would you have picked? 👇

“Releasing a game does fundamentally change your personality” Me, April 2026 💀💀
Embracing my artsy side and taking IWGNT to Play Praxis, a @londongamesfest.bsky.social side event, on 16 April!
Psyched tbh. Went to the first one and it felt like the spiritual successor to Now Play This (RIP). Happy London has this, and I get to be part of it 💜

Ungirl is a game where you talk with a scammer from a #datingapp. Made for an #arg game jam & I'm keeping dev going. Now tidying up the writing & adding some more gameplay elements. Made using @pixelcrushers.bsky.social Dialogue System for #Unity ofc 😍 #ScreenshotSaturday studiowife.itch.io/ungirl
Fiancé: “my mate’s workplace has this AI called “Claude.” Do you know Claude?”
his brain is so beautiful 🥹
I took pictures around East London and made this poster and this cover in PowerPoint. Microsoft PowerPoint is one of the only good things left in my life. How does it work so well when everything else breaks 🥹 studiowife.itch.io/ungirl
It turns out I wasn't depressed, I just needed to do a game jam! Whilst other jammers made ARGs, I chose this occasion to focus on a more important topic: predatory woman online. Men! Play this to learn how to protect yourself from scammers! #psa #scammer #indiegames

Ok so I finished The Mermaid’s Curse today and I loved it, obviously. The final puzzle is brilliant and so creative - though I’ll admit, my partner played it first so he was gently giving me hints which is probably the best way to get through it 🙈
I love how over half of this Paranormasight review is just the author complaining about the final puzzle - without spoiling it, “If I have to suffer, so do you” 🤣🤣 www.thegamer.com/paranormasig...
this is such a funny fucking thing to say im gonna cry dude
n’aawww thank you ☺️ I think you saw I released my debut narrative game in Nov? Since then I got a day job as a Unity dev I’ve been happily chugging away at. Last week I took part in an arg game jam and released this, had/having a lot of fun with it 😉 studiowife.itch.io/ungirl
This is a slightly grim take but this is the… 3rd? creative industry I’ve worked in and the least broken 😅 Obviously not dismissing the very real and huge impact of the recent layoffs. But there is still real money and growth and hope here. Like guys, have you tried working in music?! 💀
Right! I don’t experience flow and I’m a competent and creative person who enjoys making and playing games. There are lots of people like me, so it’s bizarre that some people still hold up flow as universal GD best practice, especially as this magical line between boredom and challenge. Like ??
Been spreading the word with these today, stay safe when chatting online everyone xx (especially the gentlemen, there are a lot of scammers about)
honestly despite the flaws of the industry, I would describe my experience with game dev as “empowering.” You mean I can create these worlds for my stories all by myself?? It’s an incredible feeling, happy you’re experiencing it too 💜
I feel the academic game design community is mostly over flow, but then when I go out into adjacent spaces people talk like it’s best practice and I’m like ?? Flow is not something I experience. i have ADHD so according to to Csiksgentmihalyi my “fractured attention” makes me a lesser human so 🤷♀️
Amazing to see you making games with Godot!
lol as someone who studied Game Design academically relatively recently, “flow” has such a chokehold on how we talk about GD but I kinda think it’s a load of bollocks tbh 🤣 (and I’m not special in this regard 🙈)
What a headline
Darkness has become light, winter has become spring, and people are still talking about our game 🥹 Thanks Hey Poor Player for this review!#indiegames www.heypoorplayer.com/2026/03/26/i...
just this week:
-- OpenAI killed Sora
-- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI
-- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content
...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?
Our (@mahliann.bsky.social, @marcuscarter.com, and I) book GAME STUDIES: A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD is officially OUT everywhere in the world except the US for some reason. So here is an actual thread about why we wrote it and what we were trying to achieve with it.
