Is this the first time indie games have matched AAA studios in nominations for GOTY at #thegameawards?
What does "Indie" even mean anymore (and is the game most likely to win this, Clair Obscur, one of them, or somewhere more in-between?)

And that's a wrap on The Séance of Blake Manor!
What a fantastic game, so much thought gone into it, really good fun (and very addictive) to play!
And I learnt a lot about Irish folklore too! @blakemanorgame.bsky.social

So I'm up in Glasgow for 6 months, writing about tech for the BBC website.
I'd love to hear your tech news tips but also your Glasgow hidden gems - where to eat / see / day trips away (I've been to GoMA, Kelvingrove etc, so a bit less of the obvious places if poss!)

Are branching narratives in games a waste of time?
@danthat.bsky.social spoke about why they weren't part of his upcoming game EARTH MUST DIE & how he feels they don't add as much value to games as people think!
Full chat - where we discuss that AMAZING cast - here youtu.be/VGPKYBJZaoA?...
