While developing Artful Escape, our 3D artist Mikey, made an oven asset. It was a nice oven - the work of a true pro. He even put the knobs on. And that’s who we are at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We put the knobs on. Mixtape is almost complete, we’re just putting the knobs on. See you in 2026.

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject
This marketing term is causing untold harm, of course, mostly to the naive and gullible. But it’s surprising how many educated and apparently intelligent people are placing an unwarranted degree of trust in these programmes.

Oooooh!
We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore.
Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵

One of the bonuses of working with lots of people in the indie space is finding out about an intriguing new game in a meeting about a totally different game. Anyway, Herdling is the immaculate vibes cosy game I didn't know I desperately craved today.

didn't post this incredible joke (that only sort of works) yesterday as despite it being innoffensive it felt 'too soon'. But now it feels slightly too late and I missed whatever the sweet spot was.

I can't believe Ozzy died. He seemed like one of those guys who'd just kind of live forever.

My husband and I just rewatched the original movie last weekend! One of my absolute favourite movies ever (I know every line, and quote it probably weekly), despite it also being incredibly fucking stupid.

Mixtape is a game about music, teenaged hijinks, and feeling nostalgic for "the glow of youth"--especially if you're still young yourself. And as the Devo song on its soundtrack says, that's good. www.pastemagazine.com/games/mixtap...
