Getting final artwork in for this scene for Less Miserables in Act 1, with dynamic lighting and parallax effects! All hand drawn.

A dark inn scene, with wooden beams and grey brick, tables and a bar, in a cartoon style. Four characters, including a tough looking man in rags and a mustachioed gentleman in grey sitting with a cursor marked 'Friendly Patron' on him

Can't believe it's been a week since AdventureX! Wristbands still holding up, and yes, I do have a mental age of 14. I will never take them off!

Saved my battle-worn copy of the AdventureX25 programme! It has notes scribbed from amazing talks, was shoved in various pockets, and used to wedge open the auditorium door so people could breathe! See you all next year?

#AdventureX #AdventureX25
A folded, curled and creased blue printed programme saying 'AdventureX, London 22-23 Nov 2025' and with cartoon characters from various adventure games

Finally got to see a legendary Jon Ingold talk in person at AdvenutreX yesterday, deftly funny and informative in equal measures

Just watched TNG - Perfect Mate, then Red Dwarf - Camille, and Red Dwarf does the whole 'women who morphs into the object of everyone's desire' so much better. Just 28 minutes, and has a better character arc, plus the classic Kryten trying to lie sequence
Screenshot from Red Dwarf, episode Camille. A angular robot, Kryten, sitting in a cinema sharing a tub of popcorn with a green tentacled blob (Camille)

Checking in on this year's homemade mincemeat for Christmas puddings and Mince Pies! All plumping up nicely, and makes the kitchen smell Christmasy already

Can't find a banana, so whisky bottle for scale! The larger trumpet squash is a shade under 1m

Two bright green trumpet squash on green grass, one curled round, and another very long and straight, with a whisky bottle about 1/3 of the length

Lost In Translation is such a wonderful movie about jet lag and how it just makes everything seem surreal and abnormal

More games should have a Nokia 3310 as a main part of the interface! Great demo, and can't wait for the full game!

I love this time of year: lion's-mane mushrooms, locally foraged in Scotland!
A very fluffy looking mushroom: white and orange with lots of tiny fur-like threads in a big ball, held between fingers

This is the freakiest carrot so far, still not quite sure why they all seem to get to 1cm deep and decide to get weird

#gardening #harvest #CarrotWeirdness
A weird shaped, orange carrot, maybe looking a bit like a roast chicken with extra, dangly legs?
