I made a game for the BitsyFest jam. It's my first #Bitsy game. It's a small adventure game about "repatriating" antiquities in museums. (Absolutely not based in reality, in other words.) Play it here: mandyjwatson.itch.io/heist-a… #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt

In turn, this is one of my absolute favourite pieces on the web site - but everything @remythequill has written for @brainwavez has been wonderful.

I remember working on this piece with the incredibly generous @mandyjwatson for @brainwavez. I wish I had more time to write NF; this piece was one of my gateways into this genre that I love reading so much.

I made a 1-page RPG for the #1pRPGjam that ended this weekend - Battle Royale At The Cape Town Horticultural Show. It's inspired by @deathbybadger's games and the fact that I wanted to grow plants during the London Horticultural Show in @failbettergames' Fallen London. [cont]

I've now been pushed off Tweetdeck and I can't function on Twitter without it so expect so see much less of me here. I am elsewhere, mainly the sky one (as is @brainwavez), and you can always check mandyjwatson.com/ as well, although it's still a placeholder site.
