Hey all, as it's #Blocktober and nearly Halloween, thought I'd share a recent horror inspired #blockout I put together. Lots of environmental storytelling, atmosphere and unease in this one.

If I could go anywhere in the world right now, it’d be the library near my first apartment.
They had an outside reading area.
What I wouldn’t give to be there right now, with a nice hot coffee and an obscure graphic novel I’m surprised they had.

I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.
