Might be time to buy an Apple TV (if they ever release a new model) and take the LG TV offline. Not so great that they genuinely could be using them to constantly listen to everything said in your living room to sell the information to advertisers (and whoever else wants it?).
Very excited to share that we have now have a Steam page for our game - Occult Cleanup Agency! We're still a long way from release, but it's great to start talking about our paranormal cleaning-sim & investigation game set in the 1990s!

🚨 SALE ALERT 🚨 For a limited time my thinky puzzle game costs less than a can of tuna! With 98% positive reviews, people like it more than canned fish, too!

Also available on iOS and Android but it costs about 2 cans there.
Yesterday’s random side project was building little 3D printable holders for stacks of cards for board games.

Looks like Xbox Game Pass is going the way of many of my other subscriptions “just subscribe for a few months, then take a break for a few months while the content builds up”. Will be unsubscribing when Anno 117 comes out for sure!
Microsoft is also increasing the price of its PC Game Pass subscription today, moving from $11.99 a month to $16.49 monthly — a nearly 40% increase. PC Game Pass is getting ~50 additional Ubisoft titles theverge.com/news/789424/xbo…
We are starting to share a first playable version of our game with a select few people over the coming days. Both exciting to see how far it’s come but also somewhat intimidating. Either way, stoked to hear how people get on with it!
Almost four solid days of board games - from narrative delights such as HEXplore It: Domain of Mirza Noctis and 7th Citadel to some competitive thinkers like Eclipse: Second Dawn and Duel for Middle Earth. Excellent fun! However, tired and ready for reality again tomorrow!

Had a great time playing CBR+PNK today. It’s a bit awkward playing shared narrative games online (no cameras) but I loved the dynamics regardless. It felt like Cyberpunk Fiasco (one night experience) with Blades in the Dark rules. Excellent! #CBRPNK emanoelmelo.itch.io/cbrpnk-c…
Visual Studio 2022 for Mac wasn't exactly perfect, but now it's being retired - trying to develop cross-platform C# MAUI apps for macOS/iOS using Visual Studio Code is an absolute nightmare. What a shame.
Spent the day running the #AlienRPG for some friends. So much fun - a lot of intrigue, horror and mistrust around the table. I think my favourite moment was the gunfight on the outside hull of the ship after a traitor uncoupled and pushed an NPC into space.
What a rollercoaster! First I think “maybe I should treat Unity seriously again with the concrete release that was Unity 6” and then “oh, new CEO from Zynga and EA Mobile - time for them to try to micro-transaction the developers again”. Pffff.

Yesterday we finished our 11 month campaign of #Dragonbane RPG (@FreeLeaguePub). The bundled campaign in the Misty Vale was a pleasure to run - lots of interesting variation without getting stale and easily customised to your groups play style / campaign length. Excellent fun!
About a month ago, I told myself I would give myself a week to work on a side project (a new Tabletop RPG) before working on a new video game. Well, I’ve got about 90 pages of draft material for the TTRPG but not that much video game yet 😅.

One of the things the games industry often fails to do is promote the right people.
We promote our high performers, sometimes we promote the squeaky wheel, and worst of all we will push people who aren’t ready into roles of responsibility with no support or training simply to fill the job.
We need to support and train people with good leadership skills. Good communicators, those who can put project and team before themselves. Those you can trust. This isn’t always the best developer.
