We’re two weeks out from release now so I wanna take a minute to shout out @absintheuse.bsky.social who did us a go-to-market plan for the game. None of us have a *clue* how to do any of this stuff and Haley’s guidance and patience with answering even the stupid questions has been so invaluable.
Wanna snag a cool username on launch day? First come, first served!

👉 Pre-register now to play Dec 15th: www.playdwg.com

Started this morning by being so angry about the state of marketing in games that I think I just saw steam rise off me

Kept getting bored as a graphic designer. Edge posted a piece about working at Lionhead and suddenly it felt like there might be a way my skillset could fit in games. Moved to the UK and did a MA in games design

On Friday we announced an incredible milestone: 15 million players have joined Sonic Rumble worldwide 💙 As marketing creative lead, one of the things I've been anticipating the most for our game launch was revealing the brand new marketing look we've been crafting in the background for many months

Finally announcing our next game! DWG is built in my own game engine, Growl, and while it's hardly earth-shattering tech I'm really quite proud to be shipping something with it.
We're announcing our new game! Dave's Word Game is a brand new daily word puzzle. We've been building it over the last year and we think it's really fun. We're releasing it for free, on iOS and Android, on December 15th. Give us a follow to see more updates, we'll be sharing more very soon!

I have been working on a game idea in Miro for part of my mentorship and I’ve obviously made it way too complicated, but I now understand why they say creatives make their own problems if they don’t have any to solve. My brain 100% should be tasked at building out fantasy worlds
