The programme was an invaluable experience, especially as the workshops confirmed gamedev is a feasible path for me, and what steps I should take.

Thanks to all the talented folks I met, Imirt and special thanks to @leglessgamer.bsky.social for organizing it.

Sad I had a trip before the end event.

The Irish Games Talent Incubator was incredible from start to finish and I loved every minute!

It was an honour to participate alongside many talented folks.

Thanks @imirt.bsky.social, @ardan-ie.bsky.social and special thanks to @leglessgamer.bsky.social for coordinating the programme brilliantly!

Four people in a pub in Ireland drinking pints of Guinness, one of them (Karl) is wearing a loud shirt and pulling a silly face and we don't know why.

Last month we sent Des to Ireland to drink Guinness, take selfies with Karl and to host a panel for @imirt.bsky.social. 🍻 It was a grand old time! No, we don’t know why Karl pulled that face, sorry. 🤷
