Emerging briefly from my Twitter hiatus to share this quite outrageous branching narrative game @LukasRoper @alittleredpanda, Konstantin Zlatkov and I made for #GGJ2024. My first time using the narrative scripting language Ink and I really enjoyed it! Super intuitive.

For the @globalgamejam last weekend @alittleredpanda, @jackalowe, Konstantin Zlatkov and I worked on a branching narrative game called "Virtuoso" Tennis! You can play it on browser with the link below: modernllama.itch.io/virtuoso-tennis #GGJ2024 #madewithunity

Feeling the academic hustle pressure to write a long Twitter thread about the Unity thing but instead I will simply post some passages from my recent book and leave it at that.

How can creative technology enrich and embolden climate action in the West of England? Grounding Technologies announces the six exciting new projects receiving funding to explore just this. (1/8) watershed.co.uk/news/six-teams…


Hard to overstate how much of an inspiration Dan + Jess have been to me. What they achieved with TCR, starting from where they did, was everything I needed to hear as a student wanting to turn my research into something creative + innovative. Looking forward to the next chapter.

As one new chapter opens with the announcement of our latest title, another closes. Our Creative Director, and co-founder of The Chinese Room, Dan Pinchbeck leaves us to begin a new journey. Read his letter to our fans. 💙 thechineseroom.co.uk/news/saying-go…



Back in May I presented a paper on time travel in location-based games, as part of a fantastic Bristol Digital Games Lab event. I'm sharing the talk script and slides here if you want to find out more about how these games connect past and present: jackalowe.blogspot.com/2023/07/time-t…
