Hi new people, I'll be posting more on social media again once I've recovered from a very intense year. But it's been worth it! - Outstanding TIGA Graduate for Game Design - Graduated Game Design @ Abertay 1:1 - Demoed a game with my team for the first time @ EGX youtu.be/p0JAH6lZKac

Very fun game that's really cool to watch be built at Spelkollektivet. Please wishlist it!

Tomorrow. The #BAFTAGamesAwards with your host Phil Wang. All the winners, all the awards, all of Phil's jokes (we promise) 🫡 Watch LIVE on @Twitch and @Youtube 7PM BST | 11AM PDT | 2PM EDT

I'm speaking at @gamestalkslive.bsky.social on April 1st and April 3rd in Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively. I'm just one talk of many, and you can buy tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sgda-prese... #gamestalkslive

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Dolly DeWinter Sharp-tongued bard with a heart of gold, and a penchant for hiding spoons in her companions' packs. Played by @aoifelockhart.bsky.social on #NaturalSix (Watercolour, gouache, ink, graphite on cold press rag)

Join me as I go back to one of the most obtuse TV shows of my youth! Dungeoneer @pizzasuplex.bsky.social will be joined by advisors @coollike.bsky.social, @libbycwatson.bsky.social and @rickypeacock.bsky.social as they attempt to solve probably the stupidest dungeon of all time. 8PM GMT Friday!

Check out this thread from @gentlekevs.bsky.social, one of the developers who worked on El Paso, Elsewhere about a portion of the work they did on that game. Watching people cook is a beautiful thing!

Decided to save this for my first Bluesky post! I had the opportunity to make something for Advent.js this year, hope you check it out and enjoy! Thanks @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this, Merry Christmas ya [adjective][nouns]!

Games Talks Live Scotland has been awesome to go to - the talks are extremely rich and diverse in knowledge this year. I'm hosting the livestream for the final event in Glasgow TODAY starting approx. 4:30pm... Come join in!! www.youtube.com/live/rOqEjRi...

That time I painted Caleb Widogast and Trinket. Love these #CriticalRole minis! One day I’ll paint the rest! 😅

Jacob's content is the best kind of monkey paw stuff: I the player get really fun stuff to express myself with, but the DM can get new brilliant ways to kill me or my innocence. This is because Jacob is evil (in a good way). Evil people make good DND content. Jacob is aligned Good Evil.

Seems like a good time to thread all my 🖌️FREE DIGITAL ART BRUSHES 🖌️ Free / "pay what you want" & fully royalty-free Foliage and Grass Set: tamberella.gumroad.com/l/UrGvW Grass and Fields Expansion: tamberella.gumroad.com/l/grass2

🔗 Seems like people are moving around between social media apps so new profile link options now available on your account settings page: You can set Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads accounts by revealing the "More Links" section. All of these links will appear on your profile page.

I am looking to pay for a few art commissions from trans artists today. Let me know if you are interested 💕

Sight Unseen is a unique VR puzzle game from a university graduate team where you detach your eye to find solutions:

Since I forgot to post here, here is my final honours project! The Momus Catalogue of Oddities! A bunch of weird and wonderful products displayed it an Argos inspired catalogue! www.artstation.com/artwork/rJ8xo6

Fun drawing of a friends #oc. Tried experimenting with colour and general thumbnailing. Turned out pretty well, I think. #art

Trying to make a "starter pack" for games animators. Can anyone add anyone to this? Would be really great if so. go.bsky.app/JbBjeqF

A little tip for people uploading video to BlueSky (especially pixel artists, as those tend to be quite short): there is a bug on the app where the first 7-8 seconds show in poor quality before it switches to the good quality video. So make sure you loop your animation enough times to get past that.

Revival bluesky post. Been assisting the artists on our team with art passing the level for our DARE Academy VR spy game. If you're coming to EGXxMCM next week please come say hi to me at the Sight Unseen stand - we have made an awesome little VR game demo.

Oh awesome, bluesky has messaging now?? Also hi, I'm back/still here. It's been a crazy 4+ months since I last posted here. It's been good, though

And to the Brazilian devs and games industry folks here, do post a "hi" as a reply here and let us know who you are and what you do?
