The world of #Threadbare is awash with colour and texture. A world made entirely of pixel fabric. Fray's End is home to the Eternal Loom, where the entire world is woven into being.

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

In 2014 I ran a custom-made shipping container called the PlayBox, posing as a time travelling Maker Space. Using arts and crafts, old junk, TinkerCad, Minecraft, and 3D Printers, we made 10,000 robots! Public engagement was off the charts.

It's about Journalism, YouTube, Ultra Running and how (often against the odds) technology can connect us.

Deathloop’s Julianna Blake, fragmenting between time and space following a particularly well placed shotgun blast that threw her off the bleak cliffs of Blackreef.
No real harm done, she’ll be back again tomorrow to do the same to me!

I’m really interested in connecting with game producers (at any level) from underrepresented (women, BIPOC, non-binary, etc) communities. Particularly but not exclusively from the Global South.

Front cover of the New York Post in response to Deepseek’s clash with American AI. An anthropomorphic, evil-eyed AI model looks at you over a device stamped with a Chinese flag.

“Beware this AI evil! Our AI is good, of course, but this one is out to undermine your freedom…and our profit!”
