hello! I'm Robin (he/they), and I'm an artist & worker-owner at co-op studio Very Evil Demons, based in Dundee. I've worked on such things as Kinoko and Pocket Mortys, and now I'm making some other stuff. I like folklore and strange beasts, and hope to one day get lost wandering the moors 🌿

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Very happy to have been invited back to my old stomping grounds today to tell Abertay students the good word about co-ops 💖 And it was a real treat to see the games the 3rd year students have been working on this semester!! What an incredibly talented bunch, the future of games is looking bright 🌟
Thanks to @restbread.bsky.social of @veryevildemons.com for giving a fascinating talk on worker owned co-ops to our professional projects students today. Two weeks till Gold Master for the teams - here is some of their whiteboard art from around campus. Can’t wait to share their games late in May.
