It's Next Fest day 2!

Remember to check out Go Kart Island, the only game in Next Fest with go-karts... on an island. As far as I'm aware at least.

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work!

If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

With Hogmanay it seemed like a good time to signal boost to the gamedevs of my adopted home, Scotland.

If you're a Scotland-based or Scotland-born gamedev drop your name in the replies to be added (only self-nominations thanks folks).

Reposts welcome & HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙌🏻

I spent literally all of my savings working fulltime on my game over the last year, and Kickstarter funds don’t come through for 2 weeks, so I’m going to open up a single commission slot!

Ping me if you want an illustration! 😎

Here's a Mythwrecked #ConceptArt time lapse that Anya (not on Bluesky just yet) did for us early on in the project.

She painted on top of our greybox geometry which was super handy.

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners:

Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing!
I also updated quite a bit of information too.
I hope it will help somebody!

Lots of new followers over the last few days! Really great to see the indie game community growing on Bluesky.

FYI my next indie game (MYTHWRECKED) is a modern take on Greek Mythology where you get to save the long-lost gods.

Sound cool and want to support?
