Niche posting, but I just integrated Dialogue System for Unity by @pixelcrushers.bsky.social & voice acting using @fmodstudio.bsky.social Programmer Instruments by registering a custom Lua function so it comes up in the drop down menu in the dialogue nodes. I feel like a GOD. #indiegamedev #FMOD

Seeing cosplayers on the train to MCM. Is this… 2011? (Except I got my free ticket through an incubator I did, I’m mostly going for a portfolio review, and the Lizzie Line didn’t exist back then 😂)

Honoured to be nominated for the "Games for a Better World" award by @indiexpt.bsky.social ❤️🩹 As a writer, it can be easy to get lost in the craft and, tbh, the marketing. I sometimes forget that I wrote this story because I had something important to say. It's wonderful to be recognised for this.

Our time on @tranzfuser.bsky.social is coming to a close! Lots of highlights, but my favourite part has to be watching people dance around, enjoying our VR prototype at the ProtoPlay showcase in Dundee (especially the kids, so cute 🥺). Thanks to everyone involved! #gamedev

God, it’s so so hard. But honestly, for perhaps the first time in my life I feel like I’m actually doing what I am meant to be doing and there’s a sense of solidness underneath the exhaustion, uncertainty, and chaos. I love being a game dev. I even like running a business, for my sins. Thankful 💜

I Write Games Not Tragedies is placed next to Daemonologie by @katanalevy.bsky.social. The dev hasn’t arrived yet but I am already scared of him because not only is the game written in Scots English, but I played his game for 2 mins and I already tortured a priest 😱 #justgoththings

We didn’t quite get the cardboard cut of @cornmandog.bsky.social ready for @glasgowindiegamesfest.org in time, but we think this Labubu represents her pretty well ☺️
