Hey I'm Rob and I'm the Creative Director at a wee games studio in Scotland called Hyper Luminal Games.
I'll be posting stuff here - some studio work, some personal projects - so if you like indie game development / weird arty things then come say hi! ❤️

Okay, so here goes my first Starter Pack. Go follow these cool people!! ^_^ 💜
There is still much room and packs are bit buggy so I might missed you even if I added you in the first place. You can comment ask to be added and DM to be removed.

I've spent my whole career working in 3D (which I absolutely love) but I've always wanted to try my hand at pixel art! So for my next personal project I decided to make a pixel art game! 😀
I'll try to post regular progress as the game comes together 😘
