And for what it's worth, I am always open to questions from other consultants from would-be and newbie consultants, to helping those who had the same feeling I did all those years ago when I first started, watching others do the job I wanted and not knowing how I could get there.

📢📣 PROUD DAD MOMENT 📣📢

Taz has come home with a coding game on his school iPad

Where he has text on screen he’s managed to voice record the text and it auto plays when it appears on screen, as he wants to “make it accessible” (his words, not mine)

IF MY 9 YEAR OLD CAN DO IT, YOU CAN

When you "make it" as an indie, it's so important to give back and support others to help keep the indie market thriving.

Love to see this from the Kinetic crew and extra cool to see Southampton gamedevs having such a positive impact on the industry 🙌
Kinetic Games, the developer behind Phasmophobia, has announced the launch of Kinetic Publishing to "support and champion creativity within the indie space". The publisher will fund two to three indie projects a year up to budgets of £1 million.

💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵

There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen.

Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! 🔽

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

If this doesn't work, genuinely seriously ask yourself if you have ADHD and are just completely time-blind.

I know I am. It's horrible to deal with but it's helped me a lot to recognise it and figure out coping mechanisms

(even they mostly amount to "do everything as soon as humanly possible")
Game devs who say they're bad at estimating how long things take:
- Give a rough estimate
- Track how long it actually takes
- If wrong: is that the time it actually takes, or did something happen? (Life, distraction, etc)
- Revise old estimate
- Keep tabs going forward to revise as necessary

I disagree with the saying that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Because sometimes you just have to give the fly the 💩 that it wants.

My solution to my emotional problems was to buy new slippers. This has not fixed any problems but I feel really cozy now 🤷

That sounds like a special kind of peace and comfort 😊

It really, really does. I oscillate between what functionality I have currently and abandoning all conventions and running away to become feral 🥲

I really have no patience this year for the monstrous levels of bullshit that I have to go through just to live a basic ass life. The disability cost of living is one thing but people don't seem to really understand the extra hoops you have to jump through just to live.

I am so endlessly tired of being punished for doing the exact thing that I'm supposed to do. Am I not supposed to be part of society and have a job and contribute economically? Tell me how it makes sense to take away the thing that allows me to do those things?

The way the UK in particular treats ADHD is disgusting. If you manage to get your life together on meds you're treated like a criminal for wanting to remain on the meds that saved your life. Not only that but meds don't fix ADHD, they make it easier to live with it.
January 3, 2026 at 10:26 PM
Bit of a rant - looking at the local NHS ADHD services in my area only to find out that they disbanded the services that were actually helping people in 2024... And they might just try to rediagnose me because they treat out of area diagnosis the same as private (as if they're not real)

He has been extremely upset if I leave a room for too long and I think he will get very upset when I leave him for a bit to go to Tesco later

To say that Pumpkin has missed me would be an understatement as you would not leave my side all night including when I went to bed

If you use tutorials and/or contextual tips in your game consider making it possible to replay these tutorials at any point and/or to access a history of past contextual tips

People often need refreshers, may have missed something, or spend time away from your game and return and need to catch up
