This turned into a bit of a rant, so I'll end on a lighter note;
I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with other developers, gamers and creators alike. We need more events and excuses to get together 🫶

- Although we arrived at 8am to set up our booth, we didn't even recieve tables or power until 10am (the original advertised opening time)
- Those attending were made to wait until the event was ready, which understandably left many feeling sour🙃

We just released another update for ROVA's demo (Featuring an Easter Egg hunt and colonist customisation!) 🥚
It's been just over a year since we started development and I couldn't be prouder of the team @freerangedevs.bsky.social 🫶
Please share around, and maybe wishlist? ❤️

Learning to #Skateboard Day 2.
First time on ramps. Took a while to get used to shifting my weight as I went up, but slowly figured out how to pump without crouching too low 💪

Got a #skateboard for my birthday. Time to learn 🛹
I spent a few days messing around on the board in my kitchen, literally just spinning around on the tail (idk what to call that).
This was my first proper day moving around 🫡

Last week I had a great time talking about my 'Gamedev Journey' at Wrexham University and some of the lessons I've learnt over the years.
Always enjoy speaking to the next wave of potential developers and catching up with the folks from GamesTalentWales. Some great talks all round! 📢
