Happy 3rd Birthday, PsychOdyssey! The 33-episode documentary about the making of Psychonauts 2 dropped its first episode on this very day in 2023. If you haven't seen it, there's LOTS of good ways to do so!

The marvellous Sally Beaumont, everyone 👏

So talented, so much fun to work with and so supportive of others’ work in narrative games. Really excellent news.
I'm a BAFTA Breakthrough 2025!

I'm honoured to be amongst such an incredible cohort, and for BAFTA to recognise my work on Old Skies!

As a disabled, female, performer-writer in games, I am so proud to show what we can do, and with BAFTA's support the sky's the limit!

Interesting article on a bit of an institutional problem in children’s publishing…

I’ve noticed that there are more and better books in this category than a few years ago, but plenty of room for more! The Alligator’s Mouth Award is a great guide to some of the best stuff that fills the gap.
"The ghost of this old publishing model, based on long-obsolete printing technologies, still haunts the high-tech 21st-century headquarters of our big publishing corporations."
A great article by @juliangough.bsky.social on the missing books for 5-to-7-year-olds.
