Part Scare, part Fish, all Die

Hello, I’m Tom! I look like this ⬅️, live in the UK, and try to cram a little creativity into my spare time when I can muster the energy: Board game design Writing Electronic Musical Noodling Photography Misc arty/crafty things

Chekhov’s Gone :(

This week's challenge is #delayed! Create something with a delay as a prominent feature, and find at least one new setting or use you haven't before. Tell us what you did when you post your piece. And do listen to others, too. Maybe we can all learn something new about delays! Pic by Anne Nygård.

I forgot the actual title of the challenge when writing the commentary but hey, it’s close. Despite a non-spoopy theme I leaned into October Vibes: youtu.be/7dHfrZFsXaw

Sharing this again because, well, I think it’s pretty dang good Also because nobody has pointed out the little musical nod yet

I am open for hire! If your game needs music, I am your guy! While I might only have one complete game soundtrack under my belt, my music has been repeatedly praised for being catchy and memorable! My rates are variable, depending on the size and budget of your project. Short 🧵

sometimes I make games that are angry political art, earnest evocations of trauma, and experiments that question what games are and can be and sometimes it's a silly game about hats

✨I’m back on the market as a game designer/developer!✨ After a year of collaborating with TeeTurtle/Unstable Games on three games for the Ordinary Magic line, we decided to part ways as friends due to differences in long-term goals. 🧵(1/5)

It's never not fun to talk arcade games, especially with Wayne of Coin-Op Conversations! ❤️

Here’s last year’s effort, for posterity

‘tis the season

Boss fight chiptune anyone? Made for @musicweeklies.bsky.social prompt ‘Phase Two’ youtu.be/H9yfoBSs9X4

Throwing things at the chiptune wall and seeing what sticks 😃

I’ve made a start on this and it’s shaping up to be a fun one. I’m keen to know if the nod I’ve put in there gets picked by anyone 😃

Dozens of games are released every day, but I want to focus on one that hits this week. Penguin Colony It has a very clever pitch: what if you witnessed a Lovecraftian story in Antarctica through the eyes of the local penguins? But there's a LOT more happening here about indigenous art and artists

Here’s a creepy li’l waltz I made for this prompt. It’s good to be back: youtu.be/-Es6yppA8vM

Yay, I did the #HauntedCarnival challenge by @musicweeklies.bsky.social, and you're in for a ride... 👻👻👻 #composer #newmusic #spooky

Hi! I’m Scott and I run Minerva Tabletop Games. I’m a board game designer, publisher and organiser for Playfest and Playtest UK. I design and publish small-box/microgames, especially those with solo play. My background is art and design and I enjoy integrating highly stylised artwork into my games.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? High street clothing store employee: I sold loads of khakis there in the late 90s

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Geologist: It’s an unconformity.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Music producer: it builds tension

If you make music and want to work to a new prompt every week, we have been doing this challenge for the best part of 10 years now. Any level is welcome, from total beginner to seasoned pro. This week is #HauntedCarnival! Big thanks to @clementpanchout.bsky.social for making us what we are today!🎉

Netrunner is AMAZING but can be daunting; anything making it easier to get started is to be championed
