Will never forget mate, how instrumental you were in changing my life, alongside the success of #PitchYaGame.
Life after my breakdown could have been so different.
I am, and will be, forever grateful.
Thank you Ash; Legend. 🫡 wishing you the best for the future.
Ash here with the news today is my last day at SMG. After 25 years and 54% of my life I'm handing over the reigns of Studio Head to Mark who's been with me for the last 18 of those.
Expect a drop in random tweets as Mark and the rest of the team are cooking on some exciting stuff. The team & studio have never been in a stronger position and it was the perfect time to head off into the sunset.
Having started out making Flash games in 1998 I couldn't ask for a better final game to finish my career on than LEGO Party!
Thanks to all our players, our publishers and industry friends who have made the transition from digital agency to game studio such a creativly fulfilling experience 🧡

#GameDev personified. 😶
So basically "Quantity not quality." 😒

All eyes on GTA VI
People buying consoles just for it
Wallets on lockdown
Everyone talking about it
Everyone streaming it
Everyone & their dog covering it
Everyone reviewing it
Top spots. Ads. Social media drowning in it.
Sorry, but its mainstream.
EXCLUSIVE: The fear of competing with GTA VI is overblown, says Circana’s Mat Piscatella, arguing that publishers are overlooking audiences who want to play something else.
With studios shifting releases away from @RockstarGames’ blockbuster, Piscatella says there is still room for games targeting different tastes and platforms. Cozy games, life sims and first-person shooters can all find audiences, while Nintendo Switch players represent another market GTA VI won’t serve.
Circana’s September sales data showed a broad mix of games performing well, reinforcing that gaming audiences don’t all want the same thing.
@rachelkaser spoke with Piscatella, Circana’s director of video games, about the GTA VI release window, consumer spending and why publishers shouldn’t be so afraid to compete.
“The fear of many teams to put their game in the same window as GTA is completely overblown,” Piscatella said.

Playable Archive is now live for FREE on Steam just in time for Halloween! I hope you have fun!

Yup. This stings. Especially after 6yrs of PYG being a voice & platform for indies.
Again. I repeat, unless you're absolutely certain you cant/wont be cloned, or you're already well established, do NOT #PitchYaGame on November 6th.
Landscape is changing, and not for the better.
Reality: Know what you're signing up for! You can either;
a) Publish on Steam w/o a publisher = less %.
b) Publish on Steam w/ a publisher = even less %.
OR.. c) publish off Steam NOR have a publisher = 100%(-taxes). Reality: You're more likely to end up with 100% of nothing.
Pricing matters too. Remember: lower the price, the more volume you'll need to shift, esp. if you want to ever break even. Again run the numbers.
Find the sweet spot that both benefits the player but doesn't undervalue your effort / needs.
