Develop 2026 – Building The Interaction Economy
Develop: Brighton in a baking July is less of a conference and more of a multi-day endurance sport with more than games on offer.
Having navigated this particular marathon for around twenty years now, I arrived prepared. The survival toolkit this year was simple: a ludicrous amount of Factor 50, a variety of killer shirts (shout out to BLAKE MILL), and a solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones to survive the World Cup semi-final drama (commiserations to England, congratulations to Argentina).
It was hot, it was packed, and as always, the real energy of the week wasn’t on the weirdly quiet expo floor – it was in the incredible calendar of fringe events and dedicated meetings that now surround the event.
A genuine highlight for me was the UK Regional Hubs Meetup, organised by Stephen Hey. Hearing about the sheer scale of activity and success across different areas was incredibly inspiring. There is a powerful sense of momentum, creativity and purpose in local games right now, and the opportunity for genuine, grassroots collaboration and growth across our nations and regions is immense. When we learn from & support each other directly, we move the entire sector forward. More grassroots collaboration, please.
That collaborative spirit was perfectly matched by a genuinely useful and positive milestone: the release of the UK Game Intelligence Database. Having an open, accessible dataset for the whole of the UK provides an incredible tool for actual strategic planning and ecosystem mapping.The value of such data became even clearer during the countless conversations I had with industry folks around education and skills. The volume of these discussions really emphasised that the need for a more coordinated, sector-wide approach to planning and strategy is very real. On that specific front, we have major news coming from Scotland in the near future – watch this space.
GamesIndustry.biz did a fantastic summary of the event as a whole, noting the sense of optimism and purpose across the week, as the sector really looks beyond the ongoing chaos and volatility and deals directly with the reality of the new market, rather than trying to ride it out – or wait for someone else to fix things. I also have to say a sincere thank you to the writer (the excellent Lewis Packwood) for mentioning my More Than Games session.
Beyond the regional networks, my focus for the week remained on the shifting dynamics of the global marketplace. I had some fantastic meetings with international networks, commercial studios, and teams like Creative Wales / Welsh Government who are looking ahead at how to truly leverage interactive media and build more strategic support for the games ecosystem as a whole.
The conversations reinforced two things for me:- The sheer volume of organisations outside the traditional games industry who need an expert partner to help them understand, engage with, and harness games technology.
- The urgent need for a cohesive, long-term strategic vision to navigate where the global market is actually heading.
I’ll be posting a much deeper, analytical look at that global landscape and what it means for regional ecosystems early next week.
If you are a founder, brand, government, or public entity looking for a thinking partner to help you navigate the interactive ecosystem, my door is open for premium advisory sessions starting this week.
Drop me a message, and let’s talk.

FCA Book Club - Making Death and Life in Palestine: Social Reproduction in Settler Colonialism
NieuwLand, Sunday, September 27 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
In this collection of essays leading feminists come together to talk about social reproduction theory in relation to Palestine.
If the daily renewal of human life is essential to function in this capitalist world of ours, what happens and what does it mean for a person living under it, when the ambition of a settler coloniser power is to eradicate life, and undermine social reproduction in as many ways as possible?
Here, by examining historical and specific manifestations of Israel’s attacks on social reproduction in Palestine, as well as Palestinian life affirming resistance to these, the theory of social reproduction is reshaped and refined, capitalism and its inherent violence is critiqued, and we encounter another base of understanding aimed towards solidarity.🍉 Free Palestine 🍉
*The undisputable foundation of this discussion is the right of the Palestinian people to live in their homeland as free and equal citizens. It is not up for dispute that there is an ongoing genocide.
The text is 192 pages.
There will be a donation jar and some refreshments available (cash or pin). Please think about donating something if you are able - a place like NieuwLand can only exist through the contributions of volunteers and friends. To learn more about NieuwLand visit their website https://nieuwland.cc
We will be meeting upstairs which is not wheelchair accessible. If you have access needs regarding the event please get in contact with us so that we can do our best to incorporate these.
The text is available as an (e)book on the website of its publisher, Pluto Press https://www.plutobooks.com/product/making-death-and-life-in-palestine/
The beautiful Het Fort van Sjakoo in Amsterdam is able to order the book for you. It’s good to place an order with them sooner rather than later, as the wholesaler is out of stock (but expecting to be restocked soon). Mention that the book is for a bookclub and you may be offered a discount https://sjakoo.nl/product/making-death-and-life-in-palestine/
In Utrecht the awesome Savannah Bay has said they can order the book and you can do this online, and it should take 1 - 2 weeks for the book to arrive ( but again could be longer depending on the wholesaler) https://www.savannahbay.nl/If you want to attend the session but find it difficult to get hold of the book we will try to help so reach out to us.
You can find ways to contact us at thefeministclub.nl, where you can also see our code of conduct. We aim to be a harassment free space for everybody. If you are new to our meetings, or feel you need a refresher, please give the code of conduct a look to find out what behaviours we hope for in our sessions.
If there are topics or questions you would like to discuss please bring these with you. We lead a pretty structure-free discussion so rely on those attending to direct where we go.
We are looking forward to seeing and discussing with you!

@PC_Fluesterer
Ja, ich kenne das.Deswegen antworte ich bei solchen Einladungen auch entsprechend und nehme nicht mehr teil.
Ich nutze in aller Regel nur noch BBB-gestützte Video-Konferenzen, und für kleine Runden gerne auch mal Talk meiner Nextcloud-Instanz.

💥Announcement Friday 17.07.2026💥
📜✊🏾Resistance to cuts to social services✊🏾📜
Friday, 17.07.2026 | 6.00 pm | SZ Aenne Saefkow, Alfredstraße 24, 10365 Berlin
Directions: U5 Magdalenenstraße | Bus 240 Schottstraße
📣 Call to action: https://asanb.noblogs.org/?p=18602 - @kommunistischer.aufbau
Attacks on the welfare state and the hard-won achievements of the working class are currently on the rise.
For us as communists, resisting this is a vital struggle.
In the wake of the wave of social protests, the following questions keep arising:
How do we organise this struggle to bring us closer to our goal, the socialist revolution? What is the relationship between the struggle for reforms and the revolutionary struggle? How do we formulate the right slogans and demands? What forms of action and organisation do we need?
We want to discuss these and other questions in our talk “Resistance to Social Cuts – How We Can Give the Struggle for Reforms a Revolutionary Character” and also engage in a discussion with you on this topic.
The talk will take place on 17 July at 6 pm at the Aenne Saefkow Social Centre.
We look forward to seeing you there!

What a weird day so far. Went to Charles street dole office to show up that I am still alive; 10 minutes, out I went.
By the bike rack there's a Chinese bloke refitting the dropped chain on his bike I asked if he needed help. he said no, OK.As I am about to go, he comes over and speaks to me in Chinese, I do not understand a word. So he spoke into his phone which then translated. really weird language, he spoke on the phone which then came up with a series of Chinese writing and spoke in English. Amazing.
Spent about an hour having a chat with this bloke, in his fifties, from Shangai, said his son was a student here, he was here on holiday as his country his much too hot in Summer. Weird that.
Anyway it all went almost well, he asked if this was a school, no it isn't but it is student accommodation, then said this city is not much to write home about, I agreed.
Asked if there were flea markets nearby I said no, not near, and gave him direction to Sully, where there is a market on sundays unless it's raining.
And that was that, goodbye, have a nice day - in Chinese sounds really weird and beautiful, Off I went on my bike, at a certain point realized I did not have my spectacles on. ACH! I said to myself, where are they? not hanging by the neck chain I wear, not in the pockets, not on the bike bags. I went back and forth twice on the road to find them, not a sign, not a shadow, no specs smashed under car's wheels,
u nothing.
not a shade.Went back in the office, asked the security, then to the desk, none. Nothing. Weird.
Back out again, walked up the road gain, again nothing, not a piece, nothing. At this point though is it possible I forgot them in the flat? So returned to the flat, searched the usual area and other parts, nothing, no specs. Gone. Vanished. Completely. WTF?
Really strange to lose one's specs; doesn't make much difference nowadays, still...
