Very excited for this
#Crisol will be released TODAY, which is probably one of the most fascinating spanish videogame productions made in the last years.

Thanks to @blumhousegames.com the small team at Vermila Studios (Madrid) has been able to craft what many people calls "the spanish Bioshock".

I wish them the best! ❤️

This is so accurate it hurts
it's so funny how british politics seemingly works the same way as when WWE wrestlers think someone betrayed them but they could easily discover they didn't if they just watched the same show the rest of us are watching
NEW: Keir Starmer has admitted that he knew Peter Mandelson had carried on a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after his paedophilia conviction when he made him US ambassador

The admission came as Starmer confirmed a criminal investigation is taking place at Prime Minister's Questions

It's difficult to explain how genuinely good Witchfire is, and it's not even in 1.0. Huge thanks to @wesleyleblanc.bsky.social for loving the game gameinformer.com/opinion/2026...
Witchfire Is So Good It Has Me Rethinking Early Access Games
I typically prefer to wait for the 1.0, but maybe something's changing.

I'm doing a talk at GDC this year; a postmortem of supporting a solo dev to find launch success. You can find details here: schedule.gdconf.com/session/from...

If you'd like to meet up before to chat games, marketing, self-publishing and anything between let me know in DM's.
