Lente Talks Minecraft Memories, Living On A Boat, her first PS1 Console and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches ⛴️🥪 @LenteGameDev #IndieGame #GameDev #CozyGame

After our usual trawl through Twitter we stumbled upon a game called Spilled which has been made by a a solo indie game developer called Lente. Lente is dutch and lives on a boat and has been making games since 2015 as a hobby.

At the end of 2022, she dropped out of college for the second time and decided to finally start her long time dream of becoming an independent creative.

At that time Lente also bought her own boat to live on. She grew up on a ship and it's always stayed with her. Lente and her mum have renovated the boat together and she's happy with how it's turned out.

From that point on Lente started working on her first serious project; Spilled! A cosy game about cleaning up oil spills with a boat.

Lente started posting to Twitter and quickly found a great community of friends, which has never stopped growing.

So far, she has managed to build a community with over 11,000 people on Twitter alone and over the last few days she has launched her very first Kickstarter campaign for Spilled which was funded in half a day! 

We asked Lente if she would answer a few questions about herself and her game Spilled and this is what our new friend came back with...

🕹️🎮 Britt's Personal Top 20 Video Games 🕹️🎮 @BrittRecluseuk #RetroGaming #IndieGames

Introduction
I find any list of this type to be very fluid, listing the top twenty games of all time objectively would be impossible. 

What I’ve done here is to list the games that had the biggest impact on me across a broad spectrum of genres as possible and always come to mind during these types of conversations. 

I actually wrote out this list a couple of weeks ago and then returned to it later to see if it still felt ‘right’ and it did, so I stuck with it. 

Next month, who knows? It could be a different story. 

💙❤️ Falling In love With the Nintendo Wii (again) 💙❤️

13 Years ago back in 2007, I jumped on the hype train of the Nintendo Wii and it was to be my first Nintendo console since 1991 when I owned a Super Nintendo.

🕹️ Britt's Amusement Arcade Memories Amidst A Flooded Flat - Video Games Memories 🕹️ #RetroGaming #Arcade

There is an undeniable connection for a lot of people to some form of gaming, no matter how distant or seemingly inconsequential.

A moment that I found really funny (in hindsight) was a few years ago in my old flat, my girlfriend woke me up at three in the morning because the bathroom ceiling was gushing with water (pinch me) and so I pegged it upstairs to wake up my upstairs neighbour (a guy in his thirties) who immediately ran down to my flat to see the damage. We headed into my living room to grab a load of towels to stem the flow, all in a complete frenzy due to the level of water coming through.

Amidst all of this, as we were running back to the bathroom, he stopped and pointed at something on display in our living room and said, “Is that Scramble? Wow, I had that when I was a kid, haven’t seen it in years!”.

Naturally, I walked over to him and filled him in on the finer points of our gaming collection until my girlfriend walked in and said, incredulously. “Umm….can you talk about games after we’ve stopped our bathroom flooding?”

Obviously, I split up with her on the spot.

👾 Steve @GAMETelford Talks To Us About Dressing In Lycra, Pong Machines & Chip Buttys - Video Games Memories 👾 #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Within the gaming community, there are certain people that really stand out as ambassadors for the video games medium and I think today we are lucky enough to have someone with us who gets the idea that video games are all about having fun. 

Our guest today runs the amazing @GAMETelford  Twitter account and manages to combine that sense of fun whilst also doing a day job at GAME in Telford.

The Twitter account is one of my favourite accounts on Twitter and is always guaranteed to raise a smile due to the amazingly talented Steve acting out skits on a weekly basis. 

The amount of effort that must go into the account is astounding and I am really looking forward to today's Video Games Memories with Steve so as we can see what makes the great man tick...

Let's get started with a few questions to provoke the nostalgia gland in Steve's video games brain...

🕹️ Britt Talks To Elliot Scholes at The Bristol Gaming Market 🕹️ @TheVGMarket #Retrogaming

Britt: As far as I’m aware, this is Replay Events’ first gaming market in Bristol as events tend to usually either be in London or further up north. Are there plans for future events or perhaps even a full-on Expo in the south?

Elliot: It is our first gaming market in Bristol! We definitely have plans for another, I would say keep an eye on our Facebook page. In regards to something bigger, we did work with the folks at the Bristol Hippodrome earlier this year to run a pop-up gaming exhibition. I really do feel like there is a need for a show like our PLAY Expos in this area of the country, so who knows?!

☆ My Special Toys R Us Memories ☆

When I was growing up, Birthdays meant one thing……A TRIP TO TOYS R US to buy whatever I wanted!

Okay, let me clarify that. A trip to Toys R Us to buy what I had been asking for as long as it wasn’t too dear.

Looking back on it now I was a lucky kid!

This yearly ritual made Toys R Us a thing of legend as I only visited the place once a year. It made that trip through Jeffrey Giraffe’s Toy Store a magical time indeed.

I’d watched the adverts and sung the song and every year I got to walk the hallowed aisles of Toys R Us in awe of everything on offer.
