Reintroduction time!

I'm Mara! Environment Artist @ Radical Forge. I absolutely love anything stylised 3D wise, and I run a monthly game dev meetup in Middlesbrough! Worked on all sorts both released and NDA👀

I've also recently refocused to help students and grads get into games in my spare time✨️

Vampire Survivors VR is out!

A game I did art while working with @radicalforge.bsky.social

Was a pleasure and i hope you all enjoy playing it! I'll be adding that to my portfolio site soon, but for now, here're some in-editor screenshot of things

Big congrats to the awesome Poncle team, as well as the amazing team here at RF that worked on this! Been super proud of them all and got to watch this be created right from the beginning. So excited to see people playing this!✨
Vampire Survivors but it's in Virtual Reality! is Out Now 🦇

Classic gameplay that you know and love, but now... you can be the bullet hell with your face! 🔥

Get up close and personal to Poe & his Garlic in Vampire Survivors VR on Meta Quest 3 & 3S 🧄

I'm admittedly heartbroken to have to put MGDM on hiatus after this year, but unfortunately the demand has been quite low and its hard to justify the payments. Focus will be on the discord from now on

Running events is hard ya'll. But MGDM is definitely one of my biggest achievements in game dev❤️
📢 Calling all Middlesbrough game devs, students, graduates and educators!! 📢

MGDM November is up on Eventbrite now for the 15th!
However, I have some bad news that MGDM will be going on indefinite hiatus at the end of the year. The discord will be staying however.
