SEIS Advanced Assurance Approved: The Next Chapter for Red Nought and Accessible Game Development
Today, we’re proud to announce that Red Nought is now officially SEIS advanced assurance approved. On paper, it’s a tax-efficient investment scheme. In reality, it’s something much bigger. SEIS gives early believers a powerful signal - this is the time to join us. To back a platform where anyone, sighted or blind, technical or non-technical can create commercial-quality games with nothing more than imagination. To support a future where tools like Baldr Engine don’t just lo

The Baldr Experiment: Chapter 5 - The Story - Part 1
Prologue Every story begins with a symbol. For The Baldr Experiment, this ring represents the moment curiosity turns into commitment. The adventure continues — one step at a time If you’ve seen my earlier Baldr Experiment posts, you’ll know how this all started: Post 1 – “A Strange Journey” Rocky Horror vibes, ground zero, budget zero, and one big question: How can someone who’s always been on the story side of games actually create a game?” Post 2 – “My Hogwarts Letter Has F

Building Universes from Code: When the Digital Universe Collapses
Series: The Physics of Backup & Recovery - Part 2 When a computer fails, it happens with the abruptness of a star going dark. One moment everything works. The next, the rules change. Files vanish. Systems refuse to boot. What once felt infinite becomes unreachable. And in that moment - whether you’re a developer, a creator, or someone simply trying to get on with their work - you experience a kind of digital gravity: the realisation that everything depends on what you prepare

The Baldr Experiment: Chapter 4 -Recon
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Baldr Every adventure has that moment where thinking stops and doing begins—where you step from “What if… into “Let’s see.” For me, that moment was opening Baldr as a creator for the very first time.Not to build. Not to design.Just to look around. Because I’m doing this on a budget of absolutely nothing, the real question wasn’t: “What do I want to make?” It was: “What do I even have?” A Quiet Recon Mission So this first stage became pure expl

Building Universes from Code: The Fragile Universe Inside Your Machine
Series: The Physics of Backup & Recovery — Part 1 In the vastness of the cosmos, stars burn for billions of years…yet a single collapse can reshape everything. Our computers are not so different. Inside each machine sits a tiny universe, projects, ideas, worlds-in-progress, all held together by spinning disks, silent circuits, and the faint hum of electricity. It feels stable, permanent, certain . But the truth is far more delicate. A failed drive, a corrupted file system, a

Building Universes from Code: When Knowledge Becomes Power
Series: The Invisible Power of Documentation – Part 3 When documentation and APIs align, something remarkable happens: complexity becomes possibility. Developers no longer need to understand every layer beneath the surface in order to create something meaningful. Just as we do not calculate the quantum behaviour of electrons before turning on a light, we rely on invisible systems to quietly perform their work. In the same way, beautifully written documentation and carefully d

Building Universes from Code: How APIs Compress Complexity
Series: The Invisible Power of Documentation – Part 2 In physics, we do not hold the universe in our hands. We carry the equations that describe it. An API is much the same. Within an API lies immense power: the ability to trigger complex behaviours with a small, carefully structured request. Entire systems awaken. Data moves across networks. Digital worlds respond in real time. And yet, from the creator’s perspective, the interaction is beautifully simple, a clear call and a

Building Universes from Code: The Quiet Architecture of Understanding
Series: The Invisible Power of Documentation — Part 1 In the vastness of the universe, nothing is truly random. Beneath the stars, planets, and swirling galaxies lies an exquisite and invisible order, equations that govern how energy moves, how matter gathers, and how reality itself unfolds. In the digital world, high-quality documentation plays a remarkably similar role. It is the quiet architecture beneath our software. The unseen framework that explains how systems connect
