A wonderful time was had at the IMPACT! Indie Games event yesterday. Great talks, lovely people. Got to help demo the game I recently worked on “Pin the Tale” - lovely to see people enjoying it. Big thanks to @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social and co for organising!

Amazing to see this go live. I had the pleasure of working with Jack to create all manner of awesome stuff for his new map based game "Pin The Tale". I created the visual identity, worked on refining the existing UI / UX as well as created designs for the home page and printed merch. Take a gander!
I’m thrilled to announce the early-access launch of Pin the Tale, an online, map-based game about connecting with the world around you through stories.
Pin the Tale is completely free and can be played via web browser on mobile, tablet and PC/Mac at pinthetale.co.uk

Did you catch @mythwright.com 's post last week? I had the pleasure of working with Mythwright on a new brand identity. I created a new icon and wordmark representative of their ethos as publishers and of the devs they seek to help launch games. Really pleased with how the logo turned out!

Over the weekend I took part in my first ever game jam! I had a wonderful time designing UI and doing art. Our team made a lil “bubble tea potion-brewing puzzle game”.

I think they missed a trick with the Switch 2 teaser trailer. The controllers should go “click, click” because… 2!

Looking forward to giving these a go… 20 or so years later 😭 I was a big fan of Rayman on PS1 as a kid and I loved Rayman Origins and Legends. Super cheap on GOG!
