Well, that was quick 👀
#tiktokban looks to be over.

Sneak peek: Our devs have been hard at work, and the new 'Secret Sauce' ability is finally here.

The Many Faces of Gaming Gaming is no longer a single-player sport—it’s a vast, interconnected universe that spans countless genres, platforms, and experiences.

Nothing better than writing game studio documents on a Sunday when I could be watching a really bad sci fi movie and eating.

Said no-one ever.

Although this one was an easy one to name -
Duckox.
It's a cool 'un.

Totally. I want to make a FNAF type game with our characters. I loveeee horror.

Oooooooo 👀

Cats for the win. Always. Can't believe it's "uncommon" - I think cats should always be unusual 😉

Hahahahaha.
It's even got Fishlight (another character) hanging from the hat.
This is a cool one.

6/ Gaming is at a crossroads. Will it stick with extractive practices, or will it evolve into something fairer? We believe the future is inclusive and sustainable for players and creators alike. What’s your vision for gaming’s next level? #gamers #gaming #indiegame #inclusive

5/ Tools like #Web3 can help shift gaming’s narrative—if used responsibly. It’s not a magic fix or a fit for every game. Web3 should be seen as a tool, like in-game currency, designed to benefit players and devs, not exploit them. Let’s get it right. #gamers #gaming #indiegame

4/ Imagine #gaming that respects players: progress that lasts, fair monetization for indie devs, and experiences built to include everyone. That’s the gaming ecosystem we envision—one that puts fairness first. #gamers #indiegame #gaming

3/ For me, it’s about equality in #gaming. Tech has the potential to empower, but it’s too often used to exploit. Games could uplift players and indie creators, but extractive practices hold us back. Let’s create systems that support, not drain. #gamers #indiegame #equality

2/ J’s biggest frustration? FIFA’s yearly grind. Each new game means buying again, losing your Ultimate Team progress, and starting over. It’s a cycle that feels unfair to players who invest time and money just to see it all reset. #gaming should do better. #gamers #indiegame

Lots of thoughts today.

1/ Gaming should be fair—for players, indie studios, and everyone in between. We’re a small team driven by the idea that #gaming can empower, not exploit. It’s time to rethink how games treat players and creators. Let’s make fairness the new norm. #gamers #indiegame

Crypto Isn’t the Villain: Why the Real Problem Isn’t the Tech Let’s be honest—crypto hasn’t done itself any favors in the PR department.

We see #Web3 as another tool in the gamer’s arsenal. Like in-game currency, it can be used for good or bad—it depends on how it’s handled. For us, Web3 is about exploring ways to give #gamers more control & enhance their experience.

I'm working on a blog post about elitism in gaming & bringing a perspective some of you might relate to. I grew up as an 'OG' gamer with a ZX Spectrum but now, I’m also a mum to gamers. Gaming has evolved, but one question still lingers: Are you even a real gamer? 🕹️

#gaming #indiegames #OGgamer

I keep staring at a spreadsheet and I swear I'm slowly going insane. I think I need a break.
No-one sees this part of it all when they buy a game😆

Might have accidentally binge watched Reginald the Vampire and Squid Games over the past two days.
No idea how that happened. 👀

can't spell - need coffee

We're gonna look at that name for the rat/Capuchino character - so names are still on the table for this one.
#coffee

One of our colleagues came up with a cool name - Ratpacino - it gives cool actor vibes. 😆

Roblox, Robux, and the Parent Trap: How I Ended Up Looking at Web3 If you’ve ever had kids, you’ve probably been ambushed by at least one of their wide-eyed, innocent demands for Robux.

Thoughts about gaming, being a parent to gamers, & where we see that so called "nasty" #web3 fitting into our #TCG.
The conversation needs to be had, esp after paying a mortgage in Robux.
