A chairde: So thrilled to have been interviewed for My Perfect Console. At the time, I hadn't announced our studio or game, so I was selectively vague, haha! We spoke about my adoption, racism, the #Irishlanguage, the spiralling games industry & more. What a delight Simon is! #gamedev

Here's a little something I've been working on. This is the intro to a foraging scene. I've been messing around with particle effects to bring some subtle movement to the scene. What do you think? (Work in progress btw!!) ~ DC

Hey folks! Not in a position to hire *yet*, but looking for folks to keep in mind who are particularly good at UI art/design! Must have previous XP in making UI for games (even jam games). So if that's you, please send me a link to your portfolio/work so we can keep it on file. NO AI. <3 🎨 ~ ÚMK

The FAI are making an absolute balls of this. The game should never be going ahead. Spineless from the FAI and spineless responses from the manager in yesterday's press conference. Fair play to Bazunu and the few other players that supported him in not playing the game.

Looking forward to the anger this game is going to bring out in me! If the demo is anything to go by there will be a lot of anger.

Please support this fundraiser for Eoghan Sweeney's family. Eoghan was a pioneer in early digital journalism and gave back to many so generously and inspired so many journalists in their careers, including mine! Donate if you can, but please do share if you can't.

We're trying different narrative tools for PROJECT TOGRA because we want one that fits our vision, but what's exceptionally frustrating is testing one tool that HASN'T DECLARED that it is vibe-coded and thus discovering that we wasted our time. It has been scraped. What an absolute pain. #gamedev

Overwhelmed by the responses here, across socials and on our vid. We can't wait to show off more of PROJECT TOGRA. Very much still in prototyping phase but this week is juice week and boy did we add juice*! *not actual juice, that'd ruin our hardware.

We're having some fun this week by pausing work on new feature development and focusing on how we can juice up what we already have. It's really nice to dedicate some time to just having fun with the project! (Which is already a lot of fun to work on btw)
