Good news on the last Emaneska Kickstarter: it's COMING SOON. The art's all done, proofs arriving soon, and I'm wrapping up the last little bits and pieces. I'm hoping to launch by the end of the month/October. Here's some of the artwork by Denis Kornev!
So we just placed a massive order to get our KS custom joysticks into manufacturing😅 Can't wait to see them all! Also, late pledges will cut off on Sept 14th! A lot of this UrbX stuff will be unique to this particular Kickstarter. Grab it while you can⏱️ shorturl.at/0H9cs #indiegame
I'll be buying this to add to the testing shelf. 💙
Christmas came early. 💙

Never drink and friend request.
Happy Birthday! 🎈
Our newest Kickstarter update for August 2025 is up! Take a look at it at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...
This ain't no Danish pastry. This is the spawn of Pizza The Hutt from Spaceballs.
Bugs have been found. Chaos has been caused. Yet the weekend is not over. I go again. For I enjoy it.
I am doing booth things for GMH at PAX West all weekend. Come find us!!!
Added a teacup pig to my #metahorizon pet agility game :D #petthedog #gamedev #meta #mhcp #screenshotsaturday @metahorizon.bsky.social
5 hours of coding, and now it's time for Uncapped Subathon Day 2! More Blue Prince! Link in bio!
I'm often handing out bottles of water to my friends at these events. And I'm known to escape to somewhere peaceful to recharge. So important. :)
I have a big weekend of testing ahead of me; time to go bug hunting. Maybe cause some chaos. 😅
Excitement swells in my tum tum as we gear up for the release of Woolley Mountain on @Xbox tomorrow! (As featured in @trueachievements.com ) Pre order here! xbox.com/en-GB/games/... #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #xbox
❤️ One day. 🏆
Noted! Thank you! :)
And a testing category 😉
Same here. This was the first one I've listened to, and I'll be back for more. :)
I rarely find time outside of testing to listen to podcasts but this was well worth it. Anything Blue Prince is fantastic, and some very interesting game choices within.
UrbX Warriors late pledges still available... www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...
Always wonderful to see UrbX Warriors in a quality magazine. And, if you look closely, you might even spot a mention of some bloke called Paul James... 😍
Late pledges keep ticking up, but not long left for these now. Get ye collectable one-off big box while ye may :) #indiegame #bigbox #spectrumnext #PCGaming #linuxgaming #macosgaming RT🙌 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...
You have my attention. Wishlisted.
Amazing line up, I’m so proud and honoured to be showcasing Sleepytime Villahe alongside these amazing looking games!
Testing is a love/hate relationship. You'll love me for finding bugs but you'll also hate me for finding bugs! 😂
Treated myself to a couple of the classics. Lovely to see the manuals included with these editions too.
👇
So… the Lemmings disk is now a series. Thanks to suggestions, I added Worms and Sensible Soccer into the mix (and yes. The SWOS one has a hint of 3D to it). Any others I should try? #retrogames
Tickets are still available for AdventureX but they're selling out fast! With an amazing line-up of games, I'm so glad I'm going for the third time! I wonder if any of these need some testing... 🤔😉 pauljamesgamestesting.com
I'm very proud to announce that my new short stories are now all live and available to download on Kindle! It's hard to share a link to all 5 but hit my author profile up and you'll find them by publication date: www.amazon.com/stores/Ben-G...
The Séance of Blake Manor demo is back! Begin your investigations into the disappearance of Evelyn Deane from a remote and mysterious hotel. What happened and who knows what happened to her? bit.ly/TheS%C3%A9an...
Been a fan of Katee Sackhoff (and Battlestar Galactica) for years, so it was lovely to sit down on her podcast and talk about all the things ❤️ youtu.be/RuwaIs6pIPM?...
And, of course, Sleepytime Village by @lightfootbrosgames.bsky.social. Keep an eye on this creepy, eerie, and mysterious point and click adventure because it'll be keeping an eye on you... store.steampowered.com/app/1918850/...
Safe Hayven from Escape Code Games was fun to play and has an interesting story. Available to buy now as early access, I'll be diving into this when I have a chance. store.steampowered.com/app/3706360/...
From @outofthebit.com comes Nanuka. I loved playing this. Definitely buying it when it comes out. Hoping for an @evercade.co.uk Special Edition to go with my Full Void copy too. store.steampowered.com/app/2810190/...
From Fowlplay, we have Rock and Scroll. Very interesting and addictive game. Surprised me by how quickly it grabbed me. Wishlisted. store.steampowered.com/app/3596410/...
The indie showcases at Timeless were a highlight for me. I managed to play all of them, with the exception of Sleepytime Village from @lightfootbrosgames.bsky.social (I know it inside out!) and they are all worth trying. Links below. 👇
The new issue of the best #indiegame mag in the world @debugmag.com is out now! And I've written a new feature about self care when making games. Sign up, buy the mag, enjoy its beauty! You won't regret it as #gamedev or #gamer, it is a piece of art! www.teamdebug.com
"At face value, two potential Game of the Year (GOTY) nominees, Dogubomb’s Blue Prince and Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, seem like very different games, but both aim to reinvent our genre expectations." www.forbes.com/sites/gabiki...
Demon's Reign is free on Kindle for the next 4 days! If you haven't tried out this epic arboreal/demonic fantasy written by @davidestesbooks and I, there's no excuse now😁 www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJBFVPX4/
My website's having a revamp. Still a few things to tweak but I'm happy with this new look and approach so far. pauljamesgamestesting.com
Got word this morning I'm going to be vending at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. WOOOO. My art will be there (so will my corporeal form!). Oct 17--19, 2025. Oregon Convention Center, Portland.

I enjoyed watching this, and more eyes on UrbX Warriors is always wonderful to see. 😎
It's #PointNClickFriday and I'm your host! 🔁 RT this post. 🗨️ Reply w/ your game and the hashtag. ❤️ I'll RT your replies! Super excited to announce that Broken Relic Kickstarter will start on September 9! Follow to page for updates and much more! 👉 brokenrelic.com/kickstarter
Haha, nice.
Snap these tickets up while you can. I did. It'll be my third AdventureX, and I'm excited!
Goonies is great and all, but what I'd give to be 'Gen Labyrinth'...
Automagically. Dude, this is THE BEST autocorrect I've ever seen and I will be using this in every day conversation. I can only thank you.
@adventurex.bsky.social ticket bought! I will be there! #AdvX25
Tickets go live in less than an hour.
Grab these beauties while you can...
I had a really great time at TimelessGC and congratulations to the team for an awesome event. Very happy I booked the VIP ticket and would recommend you look to go next year. Got some photos somewhere of the venue, etc. so will share once I have a chance.
Headed to the venue earlier to help set this up. I can already tell I'll have a good time here. Worth checking out if you have a chance!
My artbook trilogy bundle is on sale for only $50! 300 total pages of artbooky goodness! www.dereklaufman.com/shop
Working on something new. Can't say much just yet, but stay tuned. ✏️
It'll be an interesting event for me personally. When I went to my first AdvX in 2022, I was just nervous and trying to find some games to test. This year, potentially, there'll be 5+ developers there that I've worked with. Never give up on your goals, work hard, it will happen.
AdventureX will be my last event of 2025, and it's one I am really looking forward to.
ONE WEEK!!! See you all in Seattle 🙌
I have discovered inklewriter by @inkle.co and I suspect my day is already lost to my imagination.
Starting November 3, you can join me in building a living, breathing, interactive city in text using @inkle.co's amazing narrative scripting language ink. You can find out more about this 3-sessions @d6learning.bsky.social course of mine here: www.d6learning.com/course/text-...
All three books in the Scarlet Star Trilogy are currently 99c until next week, along with over a hundred other SFF books 👉 talesfromthecircle.com/epicsale2025...
I'm working on revamping my contact cards and I could spend decades playing around with the design. Decades. It's both incredibly interesting to do, and scary how easily time disappears.
What this really means is work in the garden, a chunk of time testing, working on creative projects, Timeless, and a lot sleep.
Stall’s set up! Stock has been reserved and bagged. If you’re at @tfnationltd.bsky.social this weekend, come say Hi and check out my art (as well as everyone else’s in the forge!)
I am on annual leave for a week. ❤️
There are at least 3 games in this that I've been involved with. ❤️ store.steampowered.com/developer/gm...
👇
I hope you feel better soon, bud.
Psst... hey... you wanna try some demos? I gotchu man... here's a Try It Tuesday Roundup of a eight demo's I played last tuesday maaan, and we'll be playing more tonight... check em out!...
Currently working on a few website updates. Feels a bit like emptying a box of random bits and seeing how I can fit them all back into the box in a more structured way.
I'm really looking forward to this. 😁
We gathered our dream panel for a LIVE EPISODE at @seattlein2025.org, where @adrianmgibson.bsky.social @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social & Greta Kelly will discuss EPIC FANTASY with George R.R. Martin @brandonsanderson.com @robinhobb.bsky.social @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social & @ryancahill.bsky.social! ⚔️
That last bin standing has cleverly camouflaged itself with the fence in a valiant effort to fool the storm.
Nice to see another review for D*Fuzed on youtube. If you guys spot a review (written or otherwise) please share it with me. Loving hearing people thoughts about it. :) @asobitech.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oxg...
Today's bug was crotch lightning. Yes, I laughed when I saw it. Doing things in true Wadjet Eye style.
Last minute addition for the con. It was decided we would do prints of the artwork for the new shirt. Available in both A3 and A4 and printed on high quality 350gsm, If anyone would like one, they'll be at our booth at @tfnationltd.bsky.social in just a few days! 😃
Joe gave me this lanyard in Sept 2022. I’ve worn it to every con since. Working with GMH and collecting these pins is something I am so proud of myself for. I’m still here. Each pin I add connects me to others who have inspired me to stay. Thank you. 🖤🔥✊
In the last week, I've broken a game without trying (I was just playing for fun!), and spotted a spelling mistake on a funny coaster in a shop. My testing powers are out of control!
My personal preference would be: City of Thieves for the excitement of the location. I remember reading this as a kid and being totally absorbed by it all. Otherwise, Citadel of Chaos because, if memory serves me correctly, the backstory surprised me. Again, reading it as a kid.
Hi folks, we wanted to share with you our newest Sleepytime Village Kickstarter update! Featuring lots of new reveals and excitement! Let us know what grabs you the most, thanks again! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lig...
Diamonds are a girl's best friend! Careful with that gun... About to update the demo version on itch :) #UrbXWarriors
Awesome to see Lucy Dreaming on PS4 and PS5!

an NPC told me they were proud of me and now I have to go lay down for emotional reasons
DAY 4 REVEALS!
Day 3, and the reveals continue!
Day 2, and another cast reveal!
Thanks so much to everyone who's played and reviewed The Biggleboss Incident so far! The initial response to (and support for) my weird little #indiegame has been overwhelming and wonderful! ❤️
You're going to want to check in daily. Trust me.
Back from NottsVGE which was another fun event. Thanks to the team for organising it and great to see UrbX Warriors from @stoocambridge.bsky.social and @tonywarriner.bsky.social, along with other indies, being showcased, plus new friends well met. I had a great time. Thank you!
