The Draknek New Voices puzzle grant recently opened applications for game devs seeking funding!

"Draknek" (aka Alan Hazelden) is the familiar designer and/or publisher name behind many classic puzzle games, and these days they're also known for a recurring program that aims to provide much-needed funding to underrepresented developers working in our relatively niche scene of thinky puzzles.

time to share what’s probably one of the weirdest (complimentary) news I’ve gotten, courtesy of the @ivorsacademy.bsky.social

my soundtrack for Flock got an Ivor Norvello nomination, which is a pretty big deal?? I’ve been nominated for an Ivor Novello, thank you Ivor Novello,
