Thought I’d begin my Bluesky journey with one of my favourite photos of 2024 - my first keynote speech - at the fantastic DevelopHER Awards.

I opened the talk with a quote from the Barbie movie - it seemed apt for an awards ceremony!
Hope everyone has a great time at Glasgow Indie Games Fest this weekend! I hope to be able to make it next time as I bloody love the Scottish Games Community! ✨✨

@intogames.bsky.social hello intogames folks - can you help me find your Free Tools page on your website?

It was such a fantastic tool to share with schools and also a way to show your work to educators - has it been removed or does it have a new URL?

Intogames.org/tools/ goes to a 404 page now?

Want to be a better ally but not sure where to start? Here are 4 things you could start doing right now:

1.) Speak up for trans rights. If you are a games studio, use your social platforms to support your trans employees. Visibility and allyship from cis people is more important than ever.

Here's a whole list of things you might need to hear right now (and even if you don't, we're reminding you anyway).

You exist, you matter, and you do not need to explain or justify that existence to anyone. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Went to the @norfolkgamedevs.bsky.social AGM meeting yesterday and was once again reminded that Norwich is filled with lots of lovely games people who put a lot of energy into keeping the place welcoming and making it more active on the games industry front 💖

Given recent conversations in the industry, I wanted to highlight some amazing organizations, resources, and community-driven groups working hard to advance accessibility in gaming. There’s a lot of great work happening — and it deserves more visibility.

One of the most exciting 3D artists I’ve seen, I love their approach and overall style!
Hello everyone! Now that everyone is moving to this platform, I'll do a small intro! 👋

I'm an artist who loves creating stylized 3D art. Worked on an animated short which will be released to the public fairly soon!

Here is an asset piece of the film. Hope to start sharing more on here!

I was invited to attend the Norfolk Economic Strategy launch at The House of Lords this week! Felt fantastic to get to share why I think games are a part of the future for region.

Had some great conversations about the role of Farming Simulator in Agri-Tech!
