It is crazy to have witnessed the turnaround on this game! Both me & them started our video game projects at the same time, on the same program - Indie Dev 2025 prototype fund, this time last year. Now they've gone ahead & launched it; wild! Fallosophy was masterfully scoped & fun from the start 😁

Nervous. I remember truly discovering games when I was ~6 & my mind was blown with Ratchet & Clank. "A cartoon you control? 🤯" It's been a dream to go to the big events like the game makers I admired, & it doesn't get bigger than Gamescom! Looking to fund abovequarrycrater.com Wish me luck 😊

Had an amazing time at the FÍS Games Summit. I'm so proud of our team at @ardan-ie.bsky.social who made it all run so smoothly. It's a dream come true to be able to put this programme together and this year in particular felt like a realisation of what we have been working towards for years.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.'
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

I've whipped up a pair of Starter Packs for anyone interested in the Irish Game Development Scene. I created these to help promote accounts here and help peers in the industry find each other, and also to stop pestering @doomcube.bsky.social about updating his list everytime I find a new account. 😅
