Busy prepping prototypes for geekmarket. Iโ€™ll be in the games room looking for play testers.
One game is tricky & involves trying to out bluff your opponent, the other is a kids game where you try to match creatures with what they are disguising themselves as.

It's still #PortfolioDay right!?

I'm Jamie D - an IndieDev who contracts as a technical environment artist.

I'm looking for part time work, especially for interesting indie games.

The restrictions make for interesting design decisions. I enjoyed trying to fit a game in the original mint tins. The bigger ones are still restrictive but big enough to allow some leniency.

Tariffs & shipping could push people towards more PnP so standard items broaden the potential client base
