Happy Assassin’s Creed Shadows launch day! So proud to have contributed to this massive game - it's definitely been the most complex and most ambitious project I've ever worked on. I'm lucky to have worked with some of the best devs in the biz! 😍

terrible news coming out of Freeplay. I really hope it & Parallels can continue.
"Of the 81 arts organisations supported by Creative Enterprises in the 2026-2029 funding round, none are games/interactive arts organisations." (freeplay.net.au/survey2026)
This is so supremely fucked

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
