Looking forward to @developconference.com next week, even if it is only the Wednesday this time. Looking to chat with studios offering work and potential publishing arrangements for Tafl Champions or Cubicoe if that takes your fancy! #networking #develop #developconference #gamedev #indiedev

Due to a very sudden change in circumstances I am currently on the hunt for any freelance game dev/software engineering roles that may be available. Will happily work remotely (including internationally) or onsite/hybrid anywhere that is accessible from Sheffield, UK. #opentowork #gamedev #coding
