Had the absolute pleasure of meeting Tom Hall @thattomhall.bsky.social at Fís last week during #FISGamesSummit and got a picture with THE #DOOM Chainsaw!

Met a huge amount of amazing #GameDev and creative folks! Can't wait for the next one! 💪

‪A couple weeks ago, I created a curator list on steam for games Created live by Streamers!

You can watch the development of these games by visiting the stream listed next to each one. 😀

store.steampowered.com/curator/4555...

Enjoy & consider leaving a follow on the list!

Hi Folks!

I'll be featured on the TWITCH HOMEPAGE for St.Patrick's Day 17th March @ 7PM GMT!

The imposter syndrome is insane but really can't wait. I hope to play Irish made indie games & promote twitch game development.

Thanks everyone who helped make this possible!
