sharing this postmortem on my latest game again, icymi…
“You can’t just give the player text. Writing is so much more than text. Writing is alive. Writing is a space! It’s feeling… Text has to have a purpose. It’s even better if it’s part of the world.”
I’m producing this:
👁️ 🔫 🕳️
BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.
A shocking end for a well-respected studio.
a screenshot of a long winding brutalist staircase. there is a poem written on the wall. light comes through the windows. paint splats are on the stairs.
a screenshot of a tree that looks like a human bowing. the tree is large and covered in dandelion whisps. there is a poem at the base of the screen.
a screenshot looking up at old brutalist buildings. the buildings are abandoned.
a screenshot of a desert filled with dead trees. the dead trees almost look human. there is a poem at the base of the screen.
🌼My new game is here!🥀

A game poem and interactive fiction about The End.
You play the very last flower left on Earth, bringing peace to long dead soil.

Check out a one-dimensional Pacman, that feels surprisingly deep.
It’s a little time thief—play wisely!

What if a game was about beginning, not winning?
I made a tiny, wordless interactive poem called Firsts about the feeling of starting something new.
It is in the first issue of Game Poems Magazine.
Five quiet minutes:

Finally got around to making a proper rules + playthrough video for Hive & Seek.
Bluffing, deduction, hidden info, mild chaos. 🐝🐻

Firsts (@namidasai.itch.io)
"Firsts is a quiet exploration of what it feels like to begin—each gesture a small act of discovery, each scene a different kind of first step."

an abstract photo collage with tangerine peel, bird's wing, ink drawing of a man, old photo and other stuff. a small title sais "tropic of dinosaur"
Tropic of Dinosaur IS OUT!!!
It's a being walked simulator about aging made of clay, tangerine peel, sigarette ends and children's obscene drawings
Go check it out in the first issue of Game Poems magazine along with other beautiful games👇

Screenshot of comment on itch. User Nimlouth posted “This is some great dumb fun to have, and can even get a bit deep if you and your opponent start creating interesting image collections for playing. Absolutely underrated!”
Every now and then an itch comment turns up on an old folk game, and it quietly makes my day. ❤️
I haven’t been this excited for a game release in years. So pumped! 🤩 ❤️
Almost done 🤞 #gamepoem #pixelart
I can't keep getting away with this...

🎙️ I Talked About Playful Learning!
Just did my first-ever podcast with @athanateus.bsky.social on @gamedevlocal.bsky.social 🎮
We dug into what makes learning playful, why gamification falls short, and how game mechanics can teach.

Two people are mid-playtest at a board game café. One player has their hands covering their face. The other player is smiling thoughtfully while holding a small hex tile, mid-turn. A partially played prototype game with wooden hex tiles and a bear figurine is set up between them on the table, with rules and a phone nearby. The scene captures a lighthearted but focused moment of gameplay and testing.
Haven’t playtested Hive & Seek in a while - itching to bring it back to the next Playtest UK meetup!
I always come away with new ideas… feels like it’s getting real close to done 🤞

We’ll be there with @oubliettegame.bsky.social, come say hi!

Purple banner image with white text that reads: “I'LL BE AT Develop on 9th July!” Below that is the Develop conference logo and the words “Insight: Inspiration: Networking.” On the right side of the image is a circular photo of a person with glasses and shoulder-length hair, smiling in front of a blurred outdoor background. In the top-right corner is the logo for Oubliette, and in the bottom-right corner is the Abyssal Foundry logo.
🚨 I’ll be at Develop next week, pitching Oubliette - a first-person roguelike set in freefall beneath 1950s Paris.
Any tips for a first-timer? 😱
We're also showcasing at Brilliant Indie Treasures from 4-8pm, if you want to have a go! 🎮

Selfie of Geoffrey smiling in front of the Oubliette stand at Gamebridge, with the rest of the team. A laptop displays the game’s eerie comic-book visuals. The vibe is casual and friendly, surrounded by other indie booths and student showcases.
At Gamebridge today showing Oubliette!
Loving the energy here - so many good student and grad games on display.
If you’re around, come say hi and try our occult roguelike descent through 1950s Paris 👀🎮

Just played Peak and I’m obsessed.
A chill climbing game with a shared world regenerated weekly, streamlined survival mechanics, and clean coop interactions.
It feels simple, but there’s real depth underneath. Surprises, discovery, vibes.
Peak is peak multiplayer design.

🎮 Been thinking about how prototyping isn’t just for early dev - it’s a mindset.
My 1st smuggling-FTL prototype was a mess.
2nd version? Cleaner, more fun, and faster to make.
Prototypes or features, it's the same.
Focus on making it playable first - then improve it.
#GameDev #IndieDev
Throwback to Droplet - my first real game release. Just a silly endless faller on mobile… but I learned so much!
Biggest takeaway? Analytics are gold.
I saw where players quit, what they bought, where they got stuck.
Honestly changed how I think about game design.

🎮 Showing Oubliette at Interactive Futures today with @lucfoster.bsky.social!
Wild to be back in Leamington Spa - studied just up the road at Warwick uni and lived here for years. Big nostalgia vibes.
Come say hi if you’re around!

Been playing so much #DuneAwakening lately I caught myself IRL scanning for shade like it’s survival priority #1
It’s like interactive slam poetry
without voice but full of heart
Check it out! ❤️

GARBAGE COUNTRY 🌵
Just properly announced our game at PC Gaming showcase!
Go check out our fancy new Steam page and drop us wishlist.
store.steampowered.com/app/2530870/...
I'm already 10h into @duneawakening.com and I’m already hooked.
I don’t play many MMOs, but the mix of survival, base-building, and reckless sandworm baiting is great.
Curious to see how deep the Landsraad politics will go in the end game. Anyone else trying it?
#DuneAwakening #MMO
Officially announcing my new game:
GARBAGE COUNTRY.
A lonely road trip through the ruins of a forgotten world.
feat. vast wastelands, tower-defense battles, upgrades, mysteries, & lots of driving.
Herdling will be here so soon, and we can’t wait for everyone to go on this journey with us 🤎🧡💛
