I am now playing as a turtle person, currently on the run from some angry pumas in the jungle. This game is a masterpiece.

Undeterred, I went off in search of comrades amongst the dunes. My efforts were in vain. The first scorpion I met saw me for the impostor I was and left my husk to be buried in the sands.

Earlier, I possessed the body of a scorpion whilst in the desert. I then accidentally killed my vacant body, stranding myself in the scorpion.

The birds on the notice board in Animal Crossing: New Leaf that signal that there's new info to the player. It's such a nice touch that keeps the UI minimal and is really cute too!

Started implementing gamepad controls for my WIP and it was all going great until I got to the camera.

Definitely one of those tasks that is taking way longer than expected, but that seems to be everything in gamedev the first time round๐Ÿ˜…

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

A bit more about me: I'm an Aussie living in Scotland with my dog and two partners. The three of us all play for Auld Reekie Roller Derby. I love hiking, sea swimming, and eating new veggie food.

Fave games are Monster Hunter: Rise, Guild Wars 2, Outer Wilds, Animal Well, and Majora's Mask.

The Edge of the Silver Sea a book by Alex Mullarky "A hundred miles from the mainland, half in the sea, half out of it. The rules are different here..." This wild and fantastical middle-grade adventure is steeped in Celtic folklore and is perfect for ...

If you have a young reader in your life and want to get them a book for the holidays, please consider my partner's magical book The Edge of the Silver Sea. It's a queer coming of age tale set in the Outer Hebrides.
