Oh we have pinned posts now!
Alright well I'm Kyle, a Canadian gamedev in Scotland.
I just released my first title, Farewell North, a wee indie game where you play as a border collie restoring colour to your human's world.
I'm usually writing shaders and stories that make you feel things ✨

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨
You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.
This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

I always tell folks if Farewell North doesn't seem like your cup of tea, at least check out the soundtrack. John Konsolakis absolutely smashed it!

Also sharing the programme with the music from Legend of Zelda and God of War was quite a thing!

It’s such an honour to have been selected as one of this year’s @bafta.org Breakthroughs, what a wonderful way to close out the Farewell North journey. I’ve been working away on a new game, it couldn't possibly be more different but I’m having an absolute blast and can’t wait to share more soon!
