Thrilled to finally announce...

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest - out June 18.

The year is 1986. Return to the sunken Beira D oil rig to uncover what really happened in December 1975. You play as Mhairi, and you will find the answers no matter what.

Thanks to @ednewtonrex.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who pushed back. Thanks to everyone who filled in that godforsaken questionnaire. Thanks to everyone who walked their celebrity friends through the whole process and got them to make some phone calls.

We are on the edge of a precipice.

We fought the Conservative govt on generative AI protections & copyright. We're now fighting the Labour govt on generative AI protections & copyright. It's exhausting.

If you are a creative, look at what's going on. Educate yourself. #MakeItFair

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.

I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.
Newspaper stand with newspapers all carrying the front page Campaign 'make it fAIr'
