Dear, @scotgov,
Here’s how we grow #Scotland’s #videogames sector to £1bn GVA. Industry-backed, derisked and actionable with your first 100 days. (I’m even kicked off recommendation 3 - skills & education - to get things moving).

Early start for a day in London. Speaking at @sxswlndn on a panel about the cultural impact of #GTA and a whole lot of conversations (and hopefully coffee) about #MoreThanGames exploring the future of #games outside the consumer market. In the city and want to meet? Shout.

Hey you! Would you like to see a permanent, playable collection of #videogames at #Scotland's National Museum in #Edinburgh?
I think that would be a very good thing. But here's where you can make YOUR voice heard...
Would you like to see a permanent #videogames exhibition at the @NtlMuseumsScot? The NMS team have launched a survey to find out if there's interest in having games (and playable games at that) in #Edinburgh - with #Scottish games at its heart.

Workshops, readings, #TTRPG drop-in sessions & much, MUCH more.

Another breakthrough in billionaire space exploration as Jeff Bezos shows the world it's possible to talk from Uranus
Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."

It was 21 years ago today that the Scottish Games Network was first launched. As a Yahoo Group (RIP). Since then we've evolved alongside the #videogames industry. But what does the future hold? Find out (and join in) here...

This is genuinely valuable work for reimagining the #games ecosystem in the #UK. Thanks to the #GamesActionPlan, #Scotland is already a couple of steps ahead of this.
Hey @scotgov here's a chance to make the games ecosystem a 'national utility'.

The new #Games Impact report from @uk_ie and OKRE does great work in establishing a new framework for measuring the #cultural #social and #transformational opportunities for the UK's #videogames sector outside the usual economic consumer impact & GVA.

After 3 years of work, it’s finally here.
My new game Plentiful launched in Early Access today.
It’s a sandbox where every change has consequences —
too many trees drain the water, one spark can burn everything.
It’s a bit different — we’ll see what people make of it.

Games is a 'Golden Thread' worth £1.3bn to UK's economy. But while the consumer market is in flux, we’re still treating this tech as a silo. Project Pathfinder is here to fix that.
Time to stop seeing 'just games' and start seeing a National Utility.
