Thanks to everyone who has listened to season 3 of The Dex Legacy. It's been a huge pleasure to work on this immersive story once again and I want to thank all our cast and crew but especially our wonderful creator and writer @emilyinkpen.bsky.social without whom none of this could happen.

Weekend feelings and S3 of Dex is out… and Wasteland has just reached another milestone... I’ll tell you, chaps, building your own IP is a lot of work 😅
The team has been amazing. Chris is the best creative partner and the cast is brilliant. I have so much gratitude.
I hope you’re all well ♥️

You have a moral and legal responsibility for how you handle data - if you collect it... Protect it!

Have you done a "Data Protection Impact Analysis"

Everyone says you need data! But what does that mean?

You need qualitative, quantitative and market analysis to really understand what going on for your game

Had a great chat with Mike Coeck, at Belgian developer Cybernetic Walrus about Roadside Research. A game which has had a tremendous reception in terms of wishlist numbers, beta players, with just 9 months to release!
