Hello new people! For anyone that doesn't already know me, I'm the Head of Games at BAFTA

BAFTA exists to celebrate and champion the creative art and cultural importance of games (and film /TV) and so it's my job to help steer our work to best do that.

And we do it in lots of ways!

Having played several hours of the demo, I'd like to thank Mike and Teenage Astronauts for releasing exactly the game I needed in my life right now.

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022!

Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there.

Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played

Amazing to see the ace new horror game from BAFTAs YGD alumni landing the trailer with... 🤯🤯🤯 one hell of a cast list!

And if you can brave the murky sci-fi Welsh terror, you might find me in there somewhere too 😉😱🖤

Just completed The Pedestrian, which has been on my to-do list for ages and then spotted it on PS Plus earlier this evening. Nice and chill kind-of-platformy puzzling. Loved it!

Am very much thinking about playing Signalis, seeing as I've had it installed and ready for the best part of two years now.

In anticipation of Yotei, thought it was time for a spin of the OG ghost.

Kicking this evening off with one of the most beautiful record sets in the collection, only matched by the score itself.

Interesting too that this is just indirect (supply chain) and induced (worker spending) impact, based on YouTube payout. There's no direct GDP impact, like you'd get from making a commercial product, I presume because no one actually buys the content.

I would very much like to know what percentage of this is games related, given we have some of the biggest streamers in the world here. There's no mention of games content in the report at all 🤷‍♂️

Maybe one for @ukieofficial.bsky.social's next UK games market valuation?

Our whole house was grey when we moved in, inside and out. Weird.
