The Nightclubs @ The Social, 29/9/26 Amazing 👌 (and they are doing a Worms remix as well 🙌)

Another blast from the past! Interview I did with DC-UK magazine back in 1999.

worm.net has been updated, and now includes a link to Inpu’s excellent Worms Finder tool. Use this to find online Worms matches across all versions of the game on any platform.

Check out the shiny new website, including the complete history of the series! Wormfacts™ www.officialworms.com/history/

Local newspaper article from November, 1995:

Google knows literally everything. I was working in the shop during the day and staying up all night doing the game. I was lucky to have such a place on my doorstep.

Been playing the Network Test version of this. It’s awesome. youtu.be/yN1jWdkT5_k?...

For those who don’t know, the Concrete Donkey in Worms is real! It was from my parents’ front garden, and still stands proudly there today 🙌

The Worms stamp! Issued by Royal Mail as part of a celebration of British video games. It was a real honour to be included alongside the other games, and it made my mum so proud. I think it's when it really hit home for her how big the game had got.

Awesome gift from Morgan of 3D Retro Tributes on Facebook! Now it’s always time for Worms 🪱

This takes me back! Recording of when I was on the TV show Bad Influence, I was 22 at the time. Includes footage of the original Total Wormage, which was the version of the game I entered into the Amiga Format competition and later showed Team17. youtu.be/3xmIUPStiuU?...

For fans of the Wormsong, it was inspired by this: youtu.be/ZFYxCIr-Byo?is… I wanted the game to be absolutely full of references to games, films, TV and songs that I liked. Even if they weren’t that obvious. So I wrote the lyrics with Bjørn, and we put it in the game.

The original press kit for Worms

Courtesy of SimD on the Worms Discord, this is what started my love of Artillery games back in 1983. I’d completely forgotten the name of it. From this, to Worms. Over the course of 12 years. youtu.be/dCNutipwl_Q?...

worm.net is back up. Hallelujah! 💥

Apologies for worm.net going down, we’re not sure why and are investigating 🧐

Life goal accomplished! 🤩

Met RJ Mical at Kickstart - UK Amiga Expo, which was a really surreal moment, and got my Amiga reference manuals signed. Never did I ever expect to get to speak to one of the original Amiga team. Without them my life would have been very different indeed! No Amiga, no Worms.

Worms on the big screen!

I speak to @rockandrollmachine.bsky.social all about the brand new Expansion Pack for Worms: The Director's Cut, out today. darylbaxter.com/posts/worms-...

Thanks for the great response to the Worms DC Expansion Pack news, it’s made my day. Can’t wait till August 7th for you all to get your hands on it. We couldn’t celebrate Worms’ 30th anniversary without celebrating the Amiga which made it all possible.

I’ll be giving a talk about Worms at Kickstart 3 in August, which looks to be a great event. They are pulling out all the stops! More details and tickets here: retro.directory/browse/event... Hope to see some of you there! 🪱

Today’s t-shirt.

Really lovely surprise arrived today from Team17! Thank you for believing in me and my game, and for all the support you have shown over the years

32 years ago today Commodore went bankrupt. It broke my heart at the time, without the Amiga I would never have achieved my dream. It opened doors in the industry for so many people. Here’s to all the crazy, passionate people that gave us the most beloved computer ever made 🍻

It’s a lovely Bank Holiday Monday in the UK 🌞 Milo is having a busy day bird watching.

Worms x Eric W. Schwartz Dual-layer custom level by @ericwschwartz.bsky.social, part of the free Worms DC Expansion Pack. Includes Llamasoft, Turrican and many other levels, as well as new landscapes and sample-sets. A 1.1 update to the game itself is also in the works. Details soon.

This is simply brilliant. My favourite film in years. Go in blind and enjoy.

Milo getting in the way of development (and pizza!)

The first review of Worms, in CU Amiga. They were big fans of the game. When we first showed them it, they kept the power on in their offices over the weekend so they could continue playing on the Monday after we had taken the disks away 💾

Say hello to Milo. Found the Christmas tree on the floor 3 times already.

For those in Wakefield, Worms is now exhibited in Wakefield Museum. It was an honour to see the game here, and I hope it can inspire the next generation of game makers out there.

Had a great time at Team17 yesterday for the Worms 30th anniversary party. Everyone got a Concrete Donkey plush, which is one of the best things I’ve ever seen! Thanks to Ash and everyone else involved for organising it. Here’s to 30 years more! 🪱

This was a really fun interview I did with Simon Parkin for Worms’ 30th anniversary. I discuss my 5 favourite games, as well as the development of Worms. shows.acast.com/my-perfect-c...

Next week's guest is @rockandrollmachine.bsky.social, creator of legendary multiplayer series Worms, the game that pits artillery-wielding soil dwellers in a fight to the death. This is one you won’t want to miss (with your sheep or banana bomb): bit.ly/43RMgx9

Today’s reading, another awesome issue of @retrogamermag.bsky.social! Proud to see Worms listed as one of the 10 Amiga Killer Apps.

Worms x Llamasoft Thanks to Jeff Minter. Custom level by P-A Gustafsson. Regarding the 1.5 update sadly my mum passed away in January, and also going back to 30 year old code has proved trickier than I thought. But I’m making steady progress again, and will update you all soon.

Love this! A special issue of Amiga Addict magazine for Worms’ 30th anniversary year. www.addict.media/amiga-addict... Amiga Addict has been at the forefront of keeping the Amiga alive, and it was a pleasure doing the interview for this issue. 🪱

Worms DC 1.5 will enter playtest soon. If you want to be a part of that feel free to join the Discord: discord.gg/wormsdchq There’s still time to get involved with level creation and the remix project as well. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far!
