Robert Redford was one of the finest actors of all time. A giant of cinema. Impeccably handsome and great in everything. Everyone will mention Butch Cassidy and the Sting. For me it's All the Presidents Men, Sneakers and Spy Game.

Strange Horticulture is 60% off on Steam right now! 🌱

With just 5 days to go before Strange Antiquities, this weekend is the perfect time to step into Undermere and learn what it takes to manage an occult shop.

Alien: Earth is basically made-for-me TV. With our game’s release date just over 2 weeks away, it’s nice to have something to escape into for a bit.

No doubt you've heard a certain big indie game is dropping Sept 4th. Others are (understandably!) scrambling to get out of the way.

We stand between them and the threshold.

We want to reassure our fans that Strange Antiquities will STILL RELEASE on 17 Sept.

Project Hail Mary trailer launched! Hell Yeah! Read the book - loved it. Listened to the audiobook - even better. Don't watch the trailer, just go watch it blind in 2026. Please! We need the film industry to stop making sequels and make original sci-fi films like this. #ProjectHellYes #jazzhands

Congratulations to @localthunk.bsky.social on all the Game Awards nominations for Balatro. Going off my steam play stats for 2024 it's a shoe in for GOTY, and it's not even close.
Crazy crazy day, so many messages of love and support from amazing people I have had the pleasure to meet these past couple years. In total disbelief

Balatro Game Awards nominations for:
Best Mobile Game
Best Independent Game
Best Debut Indie
Best Game Direction, AND
Game of the Year

Hi. I'm a British game developer working with my brother on Strange Antiquities. Please check it out on Steam. As a small team of two we both wear many hats and take on many different roles but mainly he does the code while I overthink stuff... Oh and I do all the art.

A new place. No followers. Just clear blue sky. There's something refreshing about starting with a clean slate. Feels oddly cathartic.
