Going to a wedding and will be requesting that the DJ play “Holy, Holy” by Geordie Greep on repeat while I boogie down on the dance floor alone the whole night.

Back to your regularly scheduled game dev posting tomorrow 😎

I’ve very recently been given so many amazing game dev opportunities and I’ve been able to take part in so many things that I’d have only dreamed of a year ago.

The one things I’ve yet to be able to do is find an actual paid game dev job 😭

So yeah, if anyone’s hiring 👀
