I will have a little piece in here! Very pleased to be part of something this cool (and to have any sort of affiliation with Inkle, one of the most interesting game development teams in the world)
Interested in game-writing?

In early 2026 we'll be publishing a kaleidoscope: short articles by 100+ game writers - experts, freelancers, and juniors - about the craft.

So appreciate that I was able to take time away from working as I've been ill for most of Oct & Nov - but now I'm feeling better & ready for 2026 (in other words, I'm stocked up with panettone & coffee).

Keep in touch if you're interested in collaboration & storytelling.

Thinking about the wanton destruction of something that can never be replaced - does anyone else get upset at libraries being destroyed in movie fight scenes? I know it's only a movie but still, books!

Many may not realize how large of an audience there is that would love to view videos like this on a regular basis.
Using lightweight bird-borne cameras, scientists have captured unique footage of Indian Ocean seabirds speeding just above the waves to catch flying fish.

This time next week I will be officially unemployed (although I could still describe myself as a part-time PhD student). Taking a bit of time to regroup and then looking for something 2/3 days a week around community engagement, knowledge exchange, project management, or storytelling

Counting down to the end of the Design HOPES project, finishing up activities - I am thoroughly enjoying collaborating with a graphic artist on the comic we're producing.

Finally, after three years of agony and uncertainty, some good news for Morecambe fans: the club has new owners.

Thrilled for a club that has really been put through the ringer.

Some reflections:

Yet more ridiculous behaviour from the Shrimps owner. And more harm done to my community.

I don't follow football (I find it quite boring - sorry) but I am passionate about my town & the people who live & work here. The Morecambe FC saga has gone on long enough, let's hope all goes well & the current owner doesn't get up to any tricks again www.footballtradedirectory.com/morecambe-fc...
