Hello! I'm Darren, a level designer on the wild gamedev ride. I worked on some cool stuff! Cooler stuff is coming :)
First trip out with the new camera. I am quite impressed! All the old photo spots are new again 📸

I splurged on a proper camera and this guy is my unwilling test subject. He looks happy about it!

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday, I figured I'd post an example 15 second video for the showcase I'm putting together! Hope you can participate, and maybe consider wishlisting KOOK on Steam as well!

The Rockstar union case made its way into UK Parliament earlier today
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.

last time I played they were singing a completely new song! Completely changes the ambience of the entire area. That is so extra :)
I'm putting the Sirens bossfight in Hades 2 up there with the Opera singer in Nier Automata and Ludwig from the Bloodborne dlc.

Perfect fusion of build up, intro, mechanics and music. Massively replayable as well 💪

My level editor for Unreal Engine called Scythe just got a new major update! Here's what's in it: 🧵 (1/)

Really pushed the boat out on today's ride. 130k off-road with 2.2k meters elevation. A full tour of the Surrey Hills. Never again 😂 12 hours of pain.

AETHUS is an underground survival-crafting game, focused around a proper story with full voice-acting, that I'm developing solo after leaving my AAA job!

Think a more story-driven #Subnautica, set in alien caverns... 👩‍🚀⛏️

Check out the demo and wishlist on Steam!

One of the benefits of living in London that no one talks about much is that I can go visit the filming location for Never Gonna Give You Up whenever I want.

One of the many, many reasons I love Exo Rally Championship.

Massively, massively overccoked this jump but was able to last second correct using the rcs thrusters.

Ever wanted to see what an indie game made by three game designers and an entomologist, in Unreal, using nothing but asset packs and blueprints looks like?

Here's your chance. :D
