IT TAKES A WAR IS OUT NOW If you enjoy it, please leave a Steam review. Apparently it helps a lot! If you don't enjoy it, I'd rather you send a handwritten letter. An insult is always easier to swallow when you can see the person's handwriting. store.steampowered.com/app/3919530/...

looks like I'll be going to gdc in march 😌

goodreads adding half/quarter stars instantly makes so many of my existing 600+ ratings look like crimes

i'm extremely pro the minionification of daleks

i want to breathe the air kirby is breathing

Forest of Deceit is OUT NOW on Nintendo Switch! www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

1300 people downloaded my game on @itch.io Almost anyone who played compared it to the Stanley Parable. Some people even started calling it a Stanley-Like game. But actually my biggest inspiration was "The Corridor" by @freeze.ltd #indiedev #gamedev

have an exciting meeting about my potential next project tomorrow 😌

i wonder what the fourth entry to this bundle could be

Congrats to Pantaloon chum (and developer of It Takes a War) @freeze.ltd on the release of Forest of Deceit. Great to see it so prominently placed during Steam’s Social Deduction Fest, too. store.steampowered.com/app/2388580/...

yippee!

fun fact: if you already own THE CORRIDOR and It Takes a War you can get a discount on Forest of Deceit as part of THE THOMAS MACKINNON MEGA BUNDLE!! store.steampowered.com/bundle/80288...

My Jackbox-esque side project Forest of Deceit is OUT NOW! Huge thank you to everyone who's worked with me on it over the years, they’ve all done such brilliant work - the game has ended up really fun! Please do check it out and leave it a Steam review if you’re so inclined, we need 'em. 🙌

If you are a content creator/reviewer of ANY SIZE AT ALL (yes, even you) and want a key for my social deduction Jackbox-esque game Forest of Deceit on any platform/region, DM me! I want to see people playing it on videos and streams!!

After years of working on this game a few hours a week me and my friends are finally releasing our little side project next week! Please be excited, it's really fun, I swear!!

Hello there! We now have a public Discord server where you can find out more about Forest of Deceit (which is dropping VERY, VERY soon) and maybe even find fellow Traitors to play with. 😌 discord.gg/82NeB6nh9A

Thank you to everyone who jumped into the Forest of Deceit Next Fest demo! The feedback has been really good (91% positive! yippee!) and we're excited to announce our release date VERY soon. We're going to leave the demo up until Monday for any last minute players - get in while you can! 🙌

i literally thought this was a picture of a fortnite battle pass

silly party games you say

THE FOREST OF DECEIT NEXT FEST DEMO IS OUT NOW! JACKBOX-ESQUE SOCIAL DEDUCTION NARRATED BY SYLVESTER MCCOY! (We're only expecting a trickle of you until we start properly advertising later in the week, so our servers should hold steady, but let us know if you experience any issues!)

Sylvester McCoy is narrating my party game side project Forest of Deceit. It was a career highlight to do the recording session with him, we had a great old time laughing away about funny doors. His narration fits perfectly, I can't wait for you all to play it. Steam Next Fest Demo out Monday!

Everyone loves this game fr!! it's not even out yet either.

had a really fun career-related day today regarding @ghost.camp. news soon

Had a chance to play this ahead of release and it is 100% worth checking out. Not played too many investigation games but the wrapper here is so well done it instantly sucked me in - and with a lot to say about remakes to boot. (It's also in a Steam bundle with It Takes a War, if you so wish!)

it wasn't even me but I'm scared. rolf's wrath

in every game-related contract I've been putting a "no AI usage on either side" clause in and every single time the other party has been like "oh thank god, I also hate AI"

Looooved Mixtape. Captures so many beautiful, bittersweet emotions. One sequence near the end in particular captures a specific vibe so well I'll be thinking about it forever.

this animation from legacy of the dark knight really made me laugh, so much for batman's no kill rule

Those who've followed me for a while will know I've been working on a Jackbox-esque side game with some friends for years now. It's finally releasing THIS YEAR with @jaleopr.com publishing! It's not my next mainline game, so don't expect zany twists, but it's very fun. Wishlist now!!

bro...

some news coming from me later today in a couple of hours or so (not my next mainline game... yet)

2pm spring rain in the original animal crossing is maybe the best brain feel ever

the concept of someone rushing into work shouting they've had a brilliant idea for "pebble on the side of the road #2834"

one of the better examples of just fully reclaiming an insult and being like yeah. actually it's awesome to simulate going on a walk. that rules.

remember when "walking simulator" was supposed to be a sick burn and now people fondly remember it as the invention of one of the coolest video game genres ever? or at least i know i do and i am definitely not the only one

went to see the akira re-release and it was NOT what i expected. i thought it was about motorcycle racing!! (loved it tho)

put dr robby in my tomodachi life island in honour of the pitt finale today, this is what he says when he's sad

> fetch headlines --category=events --since=24 It Takes a War and Acolyte are taking part in #InterfaceX26 - a steam showcase for games that play with a fakeOS or similar meta features. Some mad innovation and novel narrative in this space. interfacex.net

pragmata is genius for capcom because the girl comes pre-yassified so dlss 5 will look great on it
