Announcing the TMQ Horse Game Press & Influencer Contact List – Sign up now!
I’m putting together a contact list for creators of horse game related content – YouTubers, Twitch streamers, TikTokers, game writers… as long as you’re interested in making content about horse games, this list is for you!
My intention is that next time a studio making a horse game asks me for relevant influencers (which has happened on a handful of occasions), I will have a proper resource for them rather than just naming a handful of people from the top of my head.

Developers and studios with horse-relevant games to promote can then contact me and I can forward their outreach to the relevant creators.
Please help spread the word by sharing this post with any horse game content creators that you follow!
This information and a link to the sign-up form has also been added at the top of the website, see themanequest.com/content-creators

I was recently interviewed by renowned games journalist Stephen Totilo about my horse game work, including my involvement in the upcoming Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori.
Static, image-based browser games may seem like a relic of the distant past and the early internet to the games industry at large, but in the horse game niche, this medium is going strong.

Earlier this year, I was interviewed by Cheyenne Macdonald for the tech and gaming site Engadget. I only just realized that Cheyenne ended up interviewing a handful of devs from the teams of Astride and Unbridled: That Horse Game and that the resulting article was published a few months ago!
I can only recommend having a look for yourself:
I was invited to a brand new podcast called You Are Error, hosted by games journalist Nathan Grayson for Aftermath. Nathan and I talked about some of the many ways in which mainstream video games keep dropping the ball when it comes to including horses and why I’m sure that the horse game audience is bigger than anyone realizes and has a lot of potential.
