Nothing came of this, we were just put on hold for months. I did give you another chance in 2025 and you did nothing with it. Should we even expect any ESEA Heritage Month celebrations? Or should me and my family go elsewhere?

Got some really sad news today, one of my Irish relatives asked if I could help work on a young lads game. He has cancer and his is unable to finish it himself, it's in Roblox which I'm not familiar with. Do I know any #gamedev that use it? 😞

Gaming is changing. It has been becoming more about the business than the creativity, about investors than the devs, and about milking the player dry every month with new ways to spend insane amounts of money. I believe in the golden age of gaming and want to bring it back. #gamedev

I've been doing some research on a film for a project I'm working on and I've fallen into a rabbit hole. There is part of the lore I just can't find anymore so is there any Blair witch fans that can help me find where they see the other person in the house? #horrorfilms

I'm curious, can you show too much? Like when working on a game is there such thing as revealing too much? Do people prefer teasers and not showing alot? Genuinely want to know #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgames

What our first day on X looked like. So because we didn't pay for a subscription we were blocked and suspended? What could we have done. Promoting our game just became alot harder, any help is appreciated. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgame

I was born on Friday the 13th, I use go as Jason to Halloween parties every year. Let's just say I'm pretty big on the slasher genre. If only there was something in the gaming space to fill that void...

It's crazy how things change when you're a dad. The last time I was at ullswater it was my stag weekend. Now im here with my daughter and family and she is the only sight that matters. Spent the trip making sure she was happy on the boat which she did very well on. I see her family genes are strong!

It seems I've upset the AI bros recently with my comments on using it in the creative space. It is a concern at how fast it is advancing but atleast for now it's not capable of making games as easy as people would hope. If it wasn't clear, we do not use AI in our games. #gamedev #ai

We attended GaMaYo last year to showcase our game in its early demo stage and we loved the event! Got some valuable feedback and had a laugh with other devs. It's a great event so if you're a dev from the North and working on something this is for you. #gamedev #indiedevs

I've been considering doing some streams where I run through making a game and also show people the process. I've been working on the concept for a dev kit for devs starting out, should I stream or make compact videos? #Gamedev #indiedev
