Enjoying some time away to explore Japan after TGS, but the fact Donut Panic is still at 100% positive reviews is blowing my mind and I can't wait to get into the final stretch of development! Huge thanks to anyone who's played, streamed or reviewed the demo, it means a lot ❤️

I'm delighted to have been asked to deliver one of the keynotes at this year's @ApacheCon event in #Glasgow. I'll be talking about #MoreThanGames: the impact on games outside the consumer market. scottishgames.net/2026/09/25…

Found this in my archives. It's the source of the "dino.exe" name that #GTA1 inherited (via it's DINO.BAT). It was listed as "Darrens Dino Game". Unless this was Attack! I have no idea what this game concept was. This would have been the demo that I drew the Isometric picture for, and the code framework would then be used for the first #GTA Prototype @gtacommunitysol $GTA

Our yearly DMA Design meal was, once again…. Lovely. We’ve been so lucky having such an amazing group of people to have worked with, and who helped create games that have truly changed the world. 😎 (Photo from David Patterson - aka, Mattrx Man)
