I know two British magazines: Patch and Debug.
@patchmagazine.bsky.social is a monthly smaller magazine, a bit more cozy. Paid.
@debugmag.com is bi-monthly and covers all indie games, from news to retro. Paid.
And @debug.plus is a spin-off from Debug, monthly, free, for devs and professionals.
Et vaig escoltar a “Fallo de sistema” i de seguida vaig encarregar el llibre. Té una pinta estupenda, ara quan acabe el que tinc entre mans el comence. Una abraçada des d’Oslo!
The book “Zen and Slow Games” by Víctor Navarro-Remesal hold by a hand with a snowy urban landscape in the background.
Mine arrived in Norway!
A hand holds a book named “The Game Development Strategy Guide, crafting modern video games that thrive” by Sheryl Platz; in a train on a window that shows some snowy landscape in Norway.
Now I’m reading “The Game Development Strategy Guide” by @funnygodmother.bsky.social and so far it’s fantastic. Greetings from Norway!
Having contributed to three issues, I’m also happy. And I loved your column every issue ❤️
For the Global Game Jam I did the simplest thing you can imagine: a Game&Watch inspired game. Even then, it took to much time to finish. Big respect to old school programmers, they did incredible things with extremely limited hardware.

Two big screens with the Global Game Jam Oslo schedule for the three days
Second day of the Global Game Jam. By now nothing works, everything is a failure and I’m a fraud… let’s see how it evolves from here.

First page of an IKEA assembly manual showing the required equipment: a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, a stitching awl, a spirit level, a pencil, a hammer, a bar clamp, a measuring tape, a drill, and a 5mm drill bit.
Page of the IKEA assembly manual where it shows how to use the drill and the bar clamps to drill some holes in IKEA furniture doors
Detail of the illustration with the bar clamps and some pieces of wood
I remember when you only needed a screwdriver to assemble an IKEA piece of furniture. Now you need half a carpenter’s workshop.
Recorde quan només necessitaves un tornavís per muntar un moble d'IKEA. Ara necessites mig taller de fuster.

I had the pleasure of playing the visual novel by @insaneoberry.bsky.social and it was a delight, as her creator. Very appropriate now that Christmas is coming ❄️

The booth showing the game Fractala Sandbox at Spillexpo
Here with Asbjørn @mytino.bsky.social at their booth at Spillexpo. They are developing a very interesting game called “Fractala Sandbox”, based on particle physics. As far as I remember, it’s done in their own engine in C++, based on SDL, and the physics run on the GPU. Impressive!
Me and Hans Olav Muri, from Riddlebit, at their booth at Spillexpo showcasing the game Jetrunner

The book “The pocket mentor for Game Production” by Doug Pennant hold by a hand inside a Norwegian train
I had the pleasure to meet the great Doug Pennant @ludiotic.bsky.social at the last @bcngamefest.bsky.social and, when I learned he recently published a book, I ordered one copy. Now I have an interesting read for my commutes. Thanks!
Thanks! I can say the same 😊
