For any folks who may not know me from the other place, I’m Will 👋 I’ve been making games since I was a teen, most notably being a big part of Cult of the Lamb. Now I’m in Scotland working in AAA for a while. I post a lot of silly stuff tbh.

Folks I try not to get too into it on social media right now but we've had the most difficult time of our lives in the last 2 months and I'm so incredibly grateful for all of my friends, and folks who've taken the time to reach out to see if we're ok. It means the world to us ❤️

Put together a silly little image with the character arts I did and the spots from ages ago for instagram. One of those things to keep me busy as my brain is fully checked out for the holidays 😅

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law.
This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them.

Damn Bungie really improved the visuals for Marathon since they revealed it properly. The improved lighting really looks like they nailed the original pitch.

ONTOS looks absolutely incredible and Frictional Games making another existential science fiction horror game has me more excited than so many other games out there. SOMA is one of the all time greats. Cannot wait for this!

ROCKSTAR UPDATE:
Keir Starmer was just asked about the Rockstar firings in Parliament today where he described the situation as "deeply concerning" and promised it would be looked into by government ministers.
Not that a Starmer promise is worth much, mind.
