UK-based game designer (indie studio).
Having moved to a new city for this job, I guess at some point I should actually check out the city itself rather than my local area/my workplace. Maybe even make some friends, too! That'd be good :p.
Remember when some (too many) game/software publishers back in the day used fonts that didn’t clearly distinguish between 0 and O for their CD keys? Probably absurdly long too. Fun times
Sorry I’ve been completely silent for about a month. I’m now employed as a game developer working on quest/content design! Just finished my first week and am buzzing. Feels great to have people believe in you.
At what age do people suddenly feel the urge to buy a display cabinet and fill it with plates to show off?
I feel like I've become far too reliant on the things listed below, and I'm gonna experiment with dropping them from my workflow:
- IDEs
- Linters
- Syntax highlighting
- Any use of LLMs
I might also just use plain C, not C++. But we'll see (no pun intended).
Wish me luck!
I somehow managed to get my submission for the #love2d-jam on time. It's a game about answering emails! I couldn't get a web build working, which is unfortunate, but if you'd like to have a go, here's the link: https://stevegwh.itch.io/dokidokioffice
Trying to finish my submission to the #love2d 2025 jam. For the theme of 'plan', I've made a game about answering timed emails (typing game style) where you have a calendar and a file browser to find the correct info to respond with. But, it's a bit flat rn.
The idea was the 'fun' would come from the panic of trying to find all the correct info (and type it) in time while being bombarded with new emails. I'm *sure* it can work, but keeping to the jam time limit is going to be hard.
Getting round to playing some games in my library and settled on "Umihara Kawase". This game is kicking my ass. Reminds me of getting annoyed as hell playing Shinobi on the mega drive as a kid. Fun but highly irritating lol.
