Walking my bike back across Salisbury Plain due to a puncture and a huge fire looks to have taken hold in the direction of Amesbury.

Just a little peek at how my pocket solo strategy game, Sector Assault is shaping up, now that it's on its fifth version of board design. I also got the rotation mechanic working in the game too, whereby those little cog pieces now let you spin your adjacent enemy tiles.

Board game designing update. youtube.com/watch?v=lP5XRl0T… I'm going to 3d print a series of them to send out to people to test once I've refined it a little more as it's still rough. Let me know if you'd be interested. #SoloGame #SoloGaming #3dPrinting #SoloBoardGames #BoardGame

I think everyone should invest more in physical media! Thank you so so much to @BitmapSoft for making this happen. #GameDev #IndieDev #Gameboy

Winter in the workshop is always a nervous time as some builds just don't like the cold. I'm relieved the cabinet I'm working on to help promote my #Gameboy game Squirrel Falls is still going strong.

A cosy game I am currently working on where you take charge of a tram, travelling through a procedurally generated landscape. Based on the game Short Trip. #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieDev #ShortTrip #CosyGames

Tried coding a little Teletext project.

Another great evening last night coaching at Southampton's CodeBar monthly meetup. This month's group met at the Design Chapel which was a great little creative space that I've never been to before. It was also a pleasure to sponser the evening too.

If we do live in a simulation, can we all just take a moment to appreciate the time it must have taken the developer to produce the view from this morning's dog walk... Also, spot the dog.

Now that the schools are back, it's really nice to be invited to talk about designing games for old consoles. I'm always blown away by the enthusiasm and questions I get asked. Granny's Garden got a mention this week.

I'm digging out the hologram's handlink for a new project. If you go through to my YouTube channel or blog, you will see how I made it along with 3d files to make your own. #QuantumLeap #TimeTravel #Ziggy #ZiggyHandlink #ZiggyHandheld #Prop #PropDesign #PropMaking

The Bunker's surface entrance has had a bit of a makeover in time to welcome our students next week. Looking forward to kicking things off again and getting back into a routine but where did the summer break go? Where?

I've been making a fortune telling Blockbuster DVD cabinet for the workshop this week. youtu.be/EHKZgyngzrc

More bunkers ticked off the list before returning home. #AtlanticWall

Bunker hunting along the Atlantic Wall.

The speaker panel has been fitted to the cabinet. I was going to laser cut a map on to it for the players to follow. I'm now thinking of having a little leaflet dispenser and download links to the game displayed on there instead. #RetroGaming #ArcadeCabinet #Arcade #GameBoy

I'm proof that you can be workshop safe AND stylish at the same time too! #CrockLights

I've entered another Devs That Jam 36 hour game design challenge. The theme of the competition was MOONLIGHT and this is my entry. Here's the process I followed. youtube.com/watch?v=BYfV-VDJ… Link to play it in the video description. #IndieDev #GameJam #GameDev

It's game jam time this weekend where the challenge is to build a game in 36 hours based on the theme "Moonlight". Here's my idea so far after day one, you have to fire rockets into the moon to light it up. Artwork tomorrow. #GameJam #GameDev #IndieDev
