I played some of Mythmatch by @oneofmoo.bsky.social - which is a very interesting take on match-3 games, bringing some excitement to the genre, at @developconference.com and wrote about it for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social: indiegamesplus.com/mythmatch-pr...

'Mythmatch' Mixes Match-3 Play With Greek Folklore

Mythmatch is a new twist on match-3, giving you a compelling story, interesting worlds, and some fun matching mayhem to enjoy.

Thanks to Declan of Into Games & @ukieofficial.bsky.social for speaking to me @developconference.com about issues faced by working class people in the UK video games industry & how they're trying to fix it.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @willluton.bsky.social @manycatsstudios.bsky.social

Does the UK video games industry have a class problem?

A non-profit organisation is trying to create more pathways into the sector for working-class people.

My first time attending @developconference.com left me truly moved. I sincerely hope I'll return next year, this time as a gameplay programmer already working in the games industry.
