Second time giving blood today!

If you've not done it and are able, get on it! Takes about 45 minutes (and most of that is form filling and waiting around) and you're done!

It's raining outside today, and this week we got rain and a new bus stop item in the project so I thought I'd make a cute little rainy scene.

To a T! What an absolute delight!

A nice little chunk of silly wholesomeness to put a smile on your face. Wholeheartedly recommended! Terrific soundtrack too!

Off to #developbrighton next week!

I'm looking for partners to help bring the next Hokko game to market so if you're a publisher or work with release management/marketing etc... or if you just want to try the game out, let's chat!

I'm around for the whole conference, so come say hi!

Anyone else using #unity version control and found today that they've been booted out of their repositories and said repositories don't show up any more thanks to a "new Unity Version Control experience"...?

Starting to panic here... 🥲
