Favourite moment #3: when my friends Meg, Tom and Karol played their opener, "A Songfic." I've known them for 10 years and been a fan of their music all that time and just having them return to the stage in London after so long (Meg moved to Greece)... so special 🖤

Of course the one downside to this event is that @cornmandog.bsky.social couldn't come due to living in Hong Kong boo. But favourite moment #2 is when JT played a voice note from her in their set, and I hushed everyone and they actually listened!! It felt like Vicky was there with us 😭

Favourite moments! When Kzar took the stage and everyone (including me) was like, "wait, his voice actually sounds THAT GOOD live?!" Like I knew from editing the Date Night rhythm level that he's good, but _that_ good??

Honestly it's taking a while to process how much Sunday's release party meant to me. Seeing so many people show up for us and for "I Write Games Not Tragedies" (and rocking out together!) is something that will stay with me forever. Thanks to everyone who came/sent well wishes from afar 💜 #gamedev

Should probably post some actual photos of me shilling IWGNT/myself at Slush in Helsinki too (back home and feeling feral)

We're being impersonated in the other place, but i don't think anyone will fall for it because clearly nobody involved with this game would do anything so gauche as being located in the United States.

Niche posting, but I just integrated Dialogue System for Unity by @pixelcrushers.bsky.social & voice acting using @fmodstudio.bsky.social Programmer Instruments by registering a custom Lua function so it comes up in the drop down menu in the dialogue nodes. I feel like a GOD. #indiegamedev #FMOD

Seeing cosplayers on the train to MCM. Is this… 2011? (Except I got my free ticket through an incubator I did, I’m mostly going for a portfolio review, and the Lizzie Line didn’t exist back then 😂)

Honoured to be nominated for the "Games for a Better World" award by @indiexpt.bsky.social ❤️🩹 As a writer, it can be easy to get lost in the craft and, tbh, the marketing. I sometimes forget that I wrote this story because I had something important to say. It's wonderful to be recognised for this.

Our time on @tranzfuser.bsky.social is coming to a close! Lots of highlights, but my favourite part has to be watching people dance around, enjoying our VR prototype at the ProtoPlay showcase in Dundee (especially the kids, so cute 🥺). Thanks to everyone involved! #gamedev
