I hope you&amp;rsquo;re doing well. In this post I&amp;rsquo;ll talk a bit about the release of my game &lt;a href="https://figglewatts.co.uk/games/apparatus-exanimus/">Apparatus: Exanimus&lt;/a>, as well as what I&amp;rsquo;m going to be moving onto next.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="apparatus-exanimus">Apparatus: Exanimus &lt;a class="anchor" href="#apparatus-exanimus">#&lt;/a>&lt;/h2>&lt;p>I&amp;rsquo;ve released my first game, &lt;a href="https://figglewatts.co.uk/games/apparatus-exanimus/">Apparatus: Exanimus&lt;/a>, on Steam!&lt;/p>
&lt;p>In advance of the launch I sent some keys out to some content creators, which resulted in &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsdYYuwExNI">a lot&lt;/a> of &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BbP9t3nH6c">entertaining&lt;/a> &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eznGBTG5Vg4">vods&lt;/a> to &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB0TAettqmY">watch&lt;/a>. When I was able to catch these streams it was also a lot of fun to heckle streamers in their chat if they failed a jump or something. Good stuff!&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Updates and 10 games to get to know me</title><link>https://figglewatts.co.uk/posts/2025/October/updates-and-10-games-to-get-to-know-me/</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://figglewatts.co.uk/posts/2025/October/updates-and-10-games-to-get-to-know-me/</guid><description>&lt;p>Hello!&lt;/p>
&lt;p>In this post there&amp;rsquo;s gonna be some updates on what I&amp;rsquo;ve been working on, as well as &amp;lsquo;10 games to get to know me&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p>

&lt;h2 id="updates">Updates &lt;a class="anchor" href="#updates">#&lt;/a>&lt;/h2>&lt;p>I&amp;rsquo;ve been working on the full version of &lt;a href="https://figglewatts.co.uk/games/apparatus-exanimus/">Apparatus: Exanimus&lt;/a>, adding new content and stuff like Steam integrations. Playtesting is happening at the moment and the build is with Steam for review&amp;mdash;as soon as it comes back I will probably announce a release date, but I am hoping for early November. I&amp;rsquo;m very pleased with how it has come out, and I can&amp;rsquo;t wait for people to play it.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Apparatus: Exanimus &amp; Updates</title><link>https://figglewatts.co.uk/posts/2025/August/apparatus-exanimus-updates/</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://figglewatts.co.uk/posts/2025/August/apparatus-exanimus-updates/</guid><description>&lt;p>Hello once more! I have released a new game&amp;mdash;it&amp;rsquo;s called &lt;a href="https://figglewatts.co.uk/games/apparatus-exanimus/">Apparatus: Exanimus&lt;/a>. I&amp;rsquo;ll write a little about that here, as well as the showcase it was in, and then give other general development updates.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="apparatus-exanimus">Apparatus: Exanimus &lt;a class="anchor" href="#apparatus-exanimus">#&lt;/a>&lt;/h2>&lt;p>&lt;a href="https://figglewatts.co.uk/games/apparatus-exanimus/">Apparatus: Exanimus&lt;/a> is a walking simulator/exploration game with horror elements, aesthetically imitating (and explicitly pretending to be) a lost game developed in 1998 by a company long out of business.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I wanted to make something vague, cryptic, and clunky to play. I wanted to present a narrative to the player, as well as a few other gameplay elements, in a way that would require a bit of piecing things together.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Welcome to the site!</title><link>https://figglewatts.co.uk/posts/2025/May/welcome-to-the-site/</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://figglewatts.co.uk/posts/2025/May/welcome-to-the-site/</guid><description>&lt;p>Hello! Welcome to my website but with a slightly new coat of paint.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Prior to this my website was just a single page with some links to socials/games and some information about me. I wanted to update it because I&amp;rsquo;m working on a number of things now and I wanted it to be easier to follow these things and also spew information about them out into the void without being tied to a particular social media platform.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
