Playing #psychonauts for the first time and also reading the 2006 novel ‘The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs’. By odd coincidence, Psychonauts is mentioned positively in the book - a bit of guerilla marketing by @DoubleFine? We must be told @TimOfLegend! @IrvineWelsh

One day left in our Geneforge 3 - Detonation Kickstarter, the new rewrite in our cult-classic indie RPG series! Made a new stretch goal: An all-new quest line expanding on lore requested by the backers. Thank you! This is a huge job, but we're super-excited. kickstarter.com/projects/spi…

The Kickstarter for Geneforge 3 - Infestation has been going great! We funded in 2 hours and have reached two stretch goals, cramming more content and options into our upcoming RPG. We just posted a quick update: kickstarter.com/projects/spi… Now back to work!

It's been almost 20 years since I made my podcast Limmy's World of Glasgow, and I've uploaded the lot to YouTube. A lot of it is a tad PROBLEMATIC, but it was a different time, etc. Anyway, here is the original podcast version of Dee Dee: Yoker... youtube.com/watch?v=pv_DxYhf…

Dee Dee: Yoker | Limmy's World of Glasgow, ep 81/86

Limmy's World of Glasgow was a comedy sketch podcast I made in 2006...

New Blog Post! Cranky Indie Review Roundup. Hits-Only Edition! Run and gun reviews of Ball X Pit, The King Is Watching, Slay the Spire [n], Cloverpit, and The Witness. I'm not an adored, worshipped big pro journalist reviewer, so I get to be quick and catty. (Link in reply.)

I'm open for commissions. Need a unique art style for a prototype? Want a stand out creature/ character design? IGF nominated, Indie Game Awards nominated artist working with handmade, tangible models.
Jack King-Spooner@king_spoonerJun 11
I'm looking for a part time, paid gig. I can make unique, hand-crafted models, scan them to 3d (high poly or lower), give them a basic rig. If you want to make a game with my unorthodox, IGF/ Indie Game Awards nominated art, let me know.
