Heartbreaking news. There's lots of discourse on the festival's identity, ethics of volunteering and scale I largely agree with- but I just want to thank Freeplay for having me as a judge & awards chair in the past. I felt a part of community and built skills & confidence I still utilise to this day
🥰 I love to hear this. Mushka was such a joy to make!
Damn, that's soul nourishing. Makes me miss living over there.
Ty I'm so tired but happy to be here
Hello I guess it's a new year already
Last year:
✨️ announced a game studio (@intarsia.studio)
✨️ did multiple cycles of IVF
✨️ moved house
✨️ shipped a game (Mushka on Board.fun)
& last but not least!
✨️ gave birth to my first born child (we are both happy & healthy)
Bring on '26 💪

<3 thank youuu. There's something inherently magic about bringing a little creature to life through art & code, and it's made even more special by the tactile & physical affordances of Board.

Dogz & Catz were a big influence! Just look at this masterpiece
"His parents used katamaris as part of his pre-natal training" "which made him realize that rolling to get bigger, and crashing to get smaller is like life."

Something for me to consider along with the rest of my antenatal preparation
So excited to be able to show this off and talk about it now. It's been such a blast to make!

Yo congrats!!!
Tingus Goose!! Yes!! Good list
Ooo thank you Jay! There is a fascinating trend developing where these games are either over-the-top fun/silly, straight up horror/scary or an off-beat multiplayer combination of the two
utter perfection
I don't even know if my Wii still works but I gotta get a copy w that baby controller
Jam I'm losing my mind over this game
oooo yes I really enjoyed Before Your Eyes too!
Death Stranding is the most serious baby game I love it and fully forgot it had a baby in it.
Also now thinking about the creepy Red Prince picture book in Blue Prince so thank you for that
Yes Moving On!! All fabulous recommendations, Mickey. I love it thank you!
my god that is a nightmare baby
JASON!
JASON!

oi what are some great/terrible/fun videogames featuring or about babies & children?
I'm talking baby steps, shower with your dad simulator, octodad, who's your daddy, etc.
gimme your best/worst/mid
Good luck!! It's going to be great!!
Denture Man title screen. It's horrifying.
I truly think the Games Industry would be in a much better place, creatively, if everyone had more exposure to DOS Shareware games.
Omg happy boothing birthday for yesterday 🎂
