In search of developing more tactile, mechanical games in the future, I decided to work on something totally driven by satisfying interactions, effects and feel, without relying on narrative for my next project. It's a collection of multiplayer sports games that are all fast and fun! I've just added the first new update sport, which is my favorite of the pack. It's got online play with rollback netcode, crossplay, AI's for every sport, and can have up to 8 players. It's out now on Steam and Switch. I hope you like it!

In the years since the original Hackerjam took place, when Extensions were first released, the community has gotten better and better at exploring the mechanics of Hacknet, and telling stories with it's tools. After all this time, the quality of work that's come out of Hackerjam v2 is amazing. Since I've been busy with my new game (Wrestledunk Sports), I got some help from Hacknet community moderator Spiderbenb with judging. Lets get straight to the results: 1st Place - Hacknet: Flagged By Matrix, Tukib, Snacks, Hertz, and A Casual Guy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=212

Australia is still burning, but over the last couple of days they’ve actually had some rain! While this is a big help to certain areas, there are still 83 fires blazing around the country, and there’s a lot of people and wildlife still in trouble. It’s good job then that there are even more game devs, companies, and communities banding together to help out our friends down under. A new Humble Bundle, a donation from the makers of Warframe, and a charity initiative run by Eve Online players are just three more ways the games industry is raising money, and you can get involve

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Many years ago, when I traipsed the streets of Belfast city with the menacing incisors of a 15-year-old who did not get braces when he should have done so, I often met with a pal and mentor in sub-criminal activities. Let s call him “Firebastard”. Firebastard was a good friend, and a knower of various clandestine arts. We all have that mate who downloaded The Anarchist s Cookbook. That glorious walking disorder who taught us the value of smashing bottles under the flyover in
