I find hooking up UI quite difficult, it always takes me twice as long as I'd like. BUT! When it's in it's so great!! #IndieDev #GameDev #UI #UIArt

I may see myself as a Solo Developer but at some point there’s just simply too much to do! I need some help! #IndieDev #GameDeveloper #UIArt #GameArt Also happy to take expressions of interest for the future, especially from producers, social & production support!

I mean if I’m making an arcade style dual stick driving and combat game I probably should test with a new controller! 🎮 (atleast that’s how I’m justifying it to myself) #IndieDev #GameDev #SteamController
