Now on bluesky: the ✨game design wiki✨! It includes: 🌱 The career progression of a game designer 💼 How to hunt for game design jobs 💡 Detailed run through of the game design process 🖼️ Many handy resources And more! rosacarbo.notion.site/Game-design-...

🚨 Price Changes 🚨 Due to the rising costs of production, shipping and regulation since 2020, the price of the magazine will be going up. Changes will come into effect the same day as the Issue 7 Kickstarter, so now's the best time to get them if you were on the fence before! shop.apwot.com

I also want Vertical Slice to evolve beyond the confines of a traditional paper. That's why I'm launching The Repository, a growing (free) collection of pitch decks and design docs donated by generous contributors including @kitfoxgames.com, @outersloth.com, and @outerloopgames.bsky.social.

Solidarity with my fellow games-and-politics scholars who will have to play these racist slop games because they represent some kind of landmark in the form.

We're approaching that special time of year again. Sign up to the APWOT 7 pre-launch page to be notified when it goes live! 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/caz...

All set up at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social! Come find us at Unit 8, Copeland Park, London this weekend!

📣 Happy to say that Pre-Orders for Issue 6 are NOW LIVE! 📣 Go reserve your copy now! 👇👇👇 shop.apwot.com

Did you know? APWOT originally started as a student zine all the way back in 2014! 👀 The original self made publication used a limited colour palette, came in two sizes, was about 20 pages and was made in just under 2 weeks. We've come a long way to having Astro Bot and Playstation on the cover! 🤖

FRIENDS! 💛 My team at @bluebackpack.bsky.social and I just released The Berlin Apartment, the game we’ve worked on for the past 4 years! 😭💛 Give us so much love, wishlist and buy! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/2280430/...

This campaign also includes the Astral slipcase, for issues 4-6 of APWOT! It features a fantastical creature accompanying each letter of the APWOT initialism. Crafted from 3mm-thick card with foil blocking and spot varnish, and available as an add on and a bundle for this campaign! kck.st/4i1GAHT 📚

LAUNCH PARTY TIME! Save the date 📆 Come to Gosh! Comics in Soho on the 4th of December to help us celebrate the release of Issue 5 of A Profound Waste of Time! 🦄📚 Hope to see you there! 🙌

APWOT is generally some of the best games-related publications you can get. Absolutely worth it, incredible writing and art, and after being the coffee table book for some time, they're so pretty that they retire to a place of honour in my book cabinet for future reference.

I love my cat.
