I've not posted for a long time. For reasons that are presumably obvious <waves vaguely at the state of Xitter> I'm now at [email protected]

@noryac07 Thanks - much appreciated!

@bbbscarter Happy birthday. I'm playing Dungeon keeper. The magic is still alive. So much memory for this game.

@georgebsocial Don't release your game for free. The free market is way more of a bloody battlefield than you would think. Your core audience is likely to pay something as long as you don't overprice, but other people will overlook random free titles in favor of big f2p games.

[Damian Buzugbe @OmenD4]

Shipping a game is rare and I’m extremely proud to be a very small part of the concept team who helped out on this little beauty.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@ProGrumpy That's very kind - thank you! It always brings back happy memories.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@ProGrumpy Oh, thank you very much! Much appreciated. :)

@DOS_Aesthetics @Schoumy @Fluttermind Thanks! Although I should add, in terms of rendering tech, we mostly rode on the coat tails of @GlennCorpes and @MartinBell13, and just horribly abused their wonderful renderer. :)

@Fluttermind This is what happens when you try to Google the popular synthwave band 'Miami Nights 1984', and instead type 'Miami Knights' and fall down a rabbit hole.

@GameboxUkv @Fluttermind @sullixbox @XboxSoftmodKit @thePiratePimp @GDHCAMERO @LionheadStudios @ColonelFalcon @PeterMolydeux @Xbox Very nice!

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@Fluttermind I mean, it was no Archon, but yeah. :)

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@AynenMakino True enough, even if I do find the point a little exacerbating.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

Post-Pandemic Twitter Rants 1: when did 'exacerbated' and 'exasperated' become interchangeable?

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@AynenMakino Certainly, what I *wouldn't* say is that you've exasperated the situation, since that would make absolutely no sense at all.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@ShinoJL Dungeon Keeper is correct! Thanks for the birthday wishes, much appreciated.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@daniel_carvalho Oh thanks, that's very kind of you!

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@Fluttermind @ZeroXPWebcast To be fair, I would probably classify a bat as at least 'free range'.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

@Fluttermind @RustInDirt I believe @Fluttermind's was a whole pixel different to mine.

[Simon Carter @bbbscarter]

I've decided to add 'if only in my dreams' to the end of all sentences for the foreseeable future.
