Why Tolkien thought "sub-creation" was the secret to great fantasy and science fiction According to Tolkien, fantasy requires a deep imagination known as "sub-creation." And the genre reflects a fundamental truth of being human.

Are you a #gamedev that has been made redundant? Feeling like it's game over?

Let's find each other and show our support. Post something that inspired you recently and together we can #PressStartAgain.

I was inspired by this article on sub- creation. bigthink.com/mini-philoso...

What with everything that happened at the end of last year, I've been in recovery mode but it's #GDC2025 so I'm dusting myself off and looking forward to catching up with old colleagues and meeting new ones. ♥️

10 indie games you should play at least once in your life The best indie games manage to nail everything from the story and gameplay to the atmosphere and art design. Here are 10 best examples.

This is a fantastic list of indie games you should play at least once.

I'd also add our own Somerville game onto this list, but I'm biased. ❤️

The Creator of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Wants to Build a True Metaverse - IGN In 2017, Brendan Greene (aka “PlayerUnknown”) pioneered the Battle Royale genre of video games with PUBG. Now, he wants to pioneer something new. He wants to make a metaverse.

I've honestly never really believed in any take on the "metaverse" until @playerunknown.net pitched me his version a while ago: it has to be a protocol. Closer to HTTP than a social media site. We'll see where this one goes.

One of my daughters partners is a train enthusiast and the first ever game I made was MS Train Simulator, so we've had this piece of train fun running around our tree all Christmas.

Neatly wrapped and well displayed presents by my youngest daughter.

Tough one, celebrations or mint matchsticks, and I see the irony here, mint chocolate is as offensive to some as orange chocolate is to others 🤣

I totally disagree, chocolate orange is like an assault on my taste buds but the hubby loves it so every year I always buy one for him as a treat so they get my sale despite how I personally feel about them 🤣

It's the 1st Dec tomorrow, nearly time to crack on with the Christmas songs. But in the meantime it's Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on repeat.

Picture of your moon that I took.

Picture of your moon that I took.

Hey little train!
Wait for me!
I was held in chains,
But now I’m free.
I’m hanging in there,
Don’t you see
In this process of elimination.
Hey little train!
We are all jumping on.
The train that goes to the Kingdom...
