Vaida @vaida.me · 28/09/2026new homepage who dis 💅 super happy with how this has come out!! couldn't find the right colour scheme until i realised I could just use an Evangelion mech as a ref heh! vaida.me 181
Vaida @vaida.me · 29/08/2026played the demo of Sovereign Tower, the character designs are so cool! wanted to try out sketching one of em with some markers. was aiming for more Mermaid's Mask style originally but I think i ended up closer to The World Ends with You heh! 040
Vaida @vaida.me · 25/06/2026alongside getting one of those 1000-in-1 game consoles, for when the family computer is not available... 010

Vaida @vaida.me · 13/06/2026Presenting 1909, An Expedition An entry to #manifestojam2026, barely a manifesto but it's what came out of me vaidap.itch.io/1909-an-expe... 171
Vaida @vaida.me · 31/05/2026damn gamesrecap.io confusing me by having actually really useful features. too used to viscerally reacting to all the "we're introducing slop!" update popups that i brace myself each time now... 020
Vaida @vaida.me · 22/05/2026learnt a new word a few months back and still think about how good it is periodically. vicissitude. so cutting, so acerbic... a passing from one state to another... vicissitude 130
Vaida @vaida.me · 02/04/2026Finally wrote up the UI/UX work I did on @strangescaffold.bsky.social's Life Eater as a case study! I go through the entire design process & show early versions of the interface... vaida.me/portfolio/li... 04710
Vaida @vaida.me · 13/03/2026@caraellison.bsky.social throwback alert! was doing some digital archeology for my portfolio and came across this GAFE pic! i think you signed my copy of Embed with Games while in the middle of your set... 110
Vaida @vaida.me · 07/03/2026@dascumaru.bsky.social hey! i was sorting through some old papers and found this newspaper clipping, thought you'd enjoy the trip down memory lane (11 years ago, woah)! glad to see you're still making games with cool aesthetics 😎 120
Vaida @vaida.me · 18/02/2026locked in. will have to get my "let me reduce the magenta a few steps in this film photo" partner to play this... 020
Vaida @vaida.me · 17/01/2026okay Cowboy Bebop: Nope might just be the best game ever... a mixtape game. a meditation on love in the modern age. go on a date with Dana Scully or Nicki Minaj. dream sequence fight scenes. you're Spike and you're just wanting to not be so alone... jan-ski.itch.io/cowboy-bebop... 0165
Vaida @vaida.me · 09/12/2025just got hit with this when opening Messenger on Mac. we truly live in an age! i just want to have a separate app so my browser is not the everythingspace... 140
Vaida @vaida.me · 02/10/2025it's been ages since i've played a game that delighted me so much! it's a 15-minute deal, with so many little details in the world, lovely art and music, and being able to see other people in it is so cool. games can be so cool... 040
Vaida @vaida.me · 19/08/2025omg Obsidian now supports databases with custom views as a core plugin as of v1.9?? very intriguing... see help.obsidian.md/bases! 010
Vaida @vaida.me · 17/08/2025finally went through my itch catalogue and sorted games into collections so my profile is easier to navigate! there's... a lot there... so i've also included some suggested starter games at the top. i'm really happy with how it's all looking now! vaidap.itch.io 262
Vaida @vaida.me · 07/08/2025currently stuck at "gathering screenshots and writing a case study thing" so i feel you on the backlog! GH pages has some storage limits, which i might run into if i wanna host a backup of my various games/music/etc on it. i'm considering moving to a EU/green host 110
Vaida @vaida.me · 26/06/2025doodling board game tiles... just vibing for now, will see what kind of gameplay thoughts emerge as I make more of these! 010
Vaida @vaida.me · 31/05/2025oh this is so cool! rejuvenation project for the Water of Leith, that is training up youth in construction work and building a skate space! based on the notice, it seems like it'll be ready soon... There's more info & you can donate here: edinburghwheels.co.uk 295
Vaida @vaida.me · 30/04/2025New Tabletop co-making space coming to Leith in late May, by the same people that run Ancient Robot Games! ancientrobotworkshop.co.uk @arworkshop.bsky.social 0319
Vaida @vaida.me · 21/03/2025i loved 1000xRESIST because it was confident in its delivery and wasn't obsessed with making me "forget i was playing a game". it makes so much sense that the devs are from a performance background! 0141
Vaida @vaida.me · 20/03/2025it's funny how export and post dialogs can trigger either rumination or good ideas. this was the initial version i was gonna post, but I realised it was bothering me that the tree/pin symbolism wasn't clearer. I like that there's more colour and diagonals in the final one! 020
Vaida @vaida.me · 20/03/2025graphic design warmup: a flyer for park trails! wanted to try out the National Park Typeface (nationalparktypeface.com), and use an icon that is both a tree and a map pin. 170
Vaida @vaida.me · 15/02/2025learning how to use #bitsy! thinking about existing in an environment while i recreate a sad painting in bitsy 3d... #gamedev 1120
Vaida @vaida.me · 07/12/2024swansong: telling some deep story about what it means to be human me: estrella dill-flavoured chips my beloved?? out in the wild?? 110
Vaida @vaida.me · 07/12/2024became a new member of the playdate community thanks to a birthday gift from my partner! ☺️ it's such a delightful little thing. i'm so looking forward to trying all of the games over winter break! 0150
Vaida @vaida.me · 30/11/2024oh that's cool. reminds me of how people in european environments (e.g. in Brussels) end up developing their own lingo. my mom says "remoot" for remote, because that's what everyone else at her job says! though the real learning point here is "gonk" for sleep. feeling gonky this saturday morning 050
Vaida @vaida.me · 28/11/2024my steam treats! really excited tbh. V:TM is a universe i'm really keen to explore, but haven't really known where to start. swansong looks right up my alley! meanwhile, *everyone* has been raving about disco elysium since it came out. maybe... it's time... 320
Vaida @vaida.me · 10/11/2024ohh this is a good example of tuning in UX. this is info for my second flight. naturally my eye went to "terminal M"-- but that's indicating where i will arrive! the departing gate is not yet known. indicating a simple "not avail yet" in the equivalent location on the left would have helped tons! 290
Vaida @vaida.me · 30/10/2024Scottish devs, ARCADIA is back for a day of workshops + an evening of talks and games! This Saturday 2nd in Dundee, get yo tix! www.arcadiadundee.com 010
