I can almost smell the chips and candyfloss as we are about to head down to Brighton next week for this year's Develop:Brighton 2025! It's set to be a hot one so bring suncream and perhaps a hat! Come and find Dan Thomas 🚐 and I (and possibly Terrance the Lizard Doggo) for a chat 😀

From many conversations with indies, pitching & funding is consistently the biggest mystery. So some friends have offered to lend a hand and give some brave devs live feedback on their pitch at our next event 👇

We've been discussing artist control within procedural systems *a lot* lately. This will be a fun one to follow 👇 #GameDevelopment #UnrealEngine

Following on from yesterdays first steps exploring artistic control of procedural scenes, we add hero buildings and automatic terrain surface effects and foliage. 🏦🏨🌳🌲

Miniature towns exploration, day three. More town variety, more parameters to control, and also forests! #ProcGen #GameDev Apparance #UnrealEngine #Kenney

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for the IMPACT! Pitch Up! Practice event in Bristol this week! 💜👏 Pitching to publishers can sound scary, but we hope we were able to give you the right support to nail it and showcase the best of your project! 💪 #IndieGameDev #indiegame

#SteamNextFest can be overwhelming for a lot of indie game developers... ...but does it have to be? 🤖 I build marketing tools like Coverage Bot to help on the community-side! 💚 #indiedev #gamedev

I've not been active on Twitter for a long time, because all it showed me was ads and anger. The past few days, being connected to so many #IndieGameDev folks has been a real welcome palette cleanser. I've seen so many cool games that weren't on my radar 🥳

Leaving my field and heading to Guildford on Friday to deep dive all things Apparance with Sam Swain ➡ 🦋🐘 followed by some spooky Halloween funsies 🎃 If anyone's about and wants a #ProcGen nerd out, give me a shout. Might even treat you to a spooky pumpkin-spiced latte!

The crossover you never knew you needed Ninja Theory PowerWash Simulator #Halloween

If you're releasing a game in 2025 and are overwhelmed with the prospect of having to tackle creator outreach... 👇👇👇
