Hey, I'm Fergus! I don't think I ever did an introduction post, so here we go. I'm a British Narrative Designer/writer type who's been living in Copenhagen for nearly 4 years now.
Until recently I've mostly been working on my own interactive fiction stuff and game jams (mrfergusdoyle.itch.io )...

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

I wrote my book at my local library (not in the picture), did my launch parties at the British Library and the said local library so yes - huge love to libraries, Danish or not. 💛

The danish for spooky (or uncanny) is "uhygge" - not cosy
In Swedish: 'oväder'.

one of my favorite icelandic words is "óveður" ("storm") because its literal translation is "unweather" which absolutely fits the vibe of your typical icelandic storm

I've been pretty excited for Sea of Rifts as a big fan of Sunless Sea and Dredge! Love to assemble a motley crew.
We just released the demo for Sea of Rifts, our systems-driven naval roguelike RPG!
Take the helm as Captain, assemble a motley crew, and engage in tense, ship-to-ship combat as you explore a shattered reality. RimWorld meets Sunless Sea, with a dash of Dredge thrown in ⛵🐙

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Mind Diver is our first game. We're a tiny team. I'm crazy proud of our work: an intimate game we dearly wanted to exist.
But we've had almost no press and few streams, so THANK YOU for the words-of-mouth 😭
