Always a message away if you need a chat about anything good sir!

Sounds like you're backing yourself and that's a bet always worth taking 💙

Not a Lando fan, far from it (pretty sure I've mentioned that) but, it's never nice to have your championship be derailed due to mechanical faults.

I should know.

Ferrari fan circa 2008 Hungarian GP.

You still did amazing Felipe, and we love you for it!

🎮 We’re heading to #ChinaJoy!
Agora Gaming Partners will be in Shanghai with Lili Zhang, Tidus Wong & @pontusmahler.bsky.social

Let’s talk publishing, funding, or your pitch.

🎮 Agora Gaming Partners is heading to ChinaJoy!

We’ll be in Shanghai for one of the largest and most influential games industry events in Asia - and we’re bringing a full team:
👉 Lili Zhang
👉 Tidus Wong
👉 Pontus Mahler

We’ll be on the ground for the full duration of the event - so if you're working on something and want to connect, drop us a message, tag us, or book a time to chat. Whether you're looking for publishing, funding, or feedback, we're happy to talk.

We’re genuinely excited to be back. The Chinese game development scene continues to impress - full of creative talent, growing support, and global ambition.

The Chinese market remains impossible to ignore. Steam’s largest language group is now Chinese, reflecting the explosive growth of the local player base. PC gaming spend has surged by 60% year-on-year, and China now accounts for nearly 30% of global gaming revenues. On top of that, government support is ramping up again - with approval processes back on track and public funding flowing into the ecosystem.

Not attending but still want to share your game or pitch?
📩 You can always reach us at scouting@agoragamingpartners.com

See you in Shanghai 👋

It was honestly just a beautifully designed game that hit you in the heartstrings! I am really looking forward to unraveling more from the story :)

Loved the demo when I checked it out before and as soon as I’m back home I’m checking it out and leaving a review.

It’s one of the few games that was mindful of putting the default volume to NOT be 100%, which is extreme appreciated!

Mighty fun too so that helped!

Fist of the Forgotten, my momentum-focused platformer, now has its own separate demo store page, so if you could give it a try and write a review, I'd really appreciate it!

Kyoto is beautiful, every street just looks so peaceful and serene, it can’t just be the tourist goggles right?

#BitSummit day 1 was awesome, looking forward to day 2 although my feet hate me now.

A beautiful road in Kyoto japan with a traditional looking Japanese structure.

The mixer at the end of day 1 had some delicious food!

This is the most diabolical thing I’ve seen. Proper scary shit.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics:

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

OK I'll jump into the discourse lol: Starting your own publication might mean starting your own business, especially if there's more than one of you. It's unlikely you decided to do this because you wanted to start a business! Do you know how to run a business? I sure didn't until October 2023!

Annalee Newitz @annaleen.bsky.social · Jul 10

As more journalists are driven out of their jobs, I keep hearing this drumbeat of "it's ok -- they can start their own newsletter or publication." Some can. But becoming your own business is a huge job, and will eliminate many talented reporters from the public sphere. Here's why. (1/5)

50 years on from JAWS' release - we still aren't safe from Sharks!

It was awesome to work with Alice Games on the reveal of #SharkDentist & bring the news to leading gaming media outlets across the world with Loopr!

"Oh, what sharp teeth you have!" - Shark Dentist, probably.
