Tales from the Dancing Moon from @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social features a parallel world based on the real #Welsh village of Rhossili. The life simulation RPG references the headland of Worm's Head with its own reversed version, Worm's Tail, while Swansea and Cardiff also get minor mentions in the story.

So I spent a few years building a narrative RPG framework for Tales from The Dancing Moon... I realised I can use it as an "engine" to create more independent stories. My current idea is a narrative festive themed detective story. 🔍🎄🧐 #gamedev #indiegames

I used Inkarnate to design the overhead maps for my indie game. Here's a selection of the playable areas, including a screenshot of how they appear in games UI! 📍🗺️ I wish I could have spent more time with them, but generally they serve their purpose! #gaming #indiegames #gamedev

I really adore videos that use tilt-shift techniques. Been trying to get a similar effect with this. Pushing the depth of field and dropping the framerate. what do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

New to MtG, maybe my thinking is off here... With how each new set is released it feels like the previous sets don't exist any more. Felt like it with Bloomburrow and now with FF. Wonder what it'd take to make the current Standard feel more like an overall narrative. #magicthegathering #magicarena

This was the only video I caught at the #NintendoSwitch2 Experience in London (using the RayBans!) I also played Donkey Kong, Mario Kart Knockout Tournament, Breath of the Wild, Split Fiction, Wind Waker, and looked over the shoulder of many others. Happy to answer any questions the best I can!
