I love art in all its forms. I love seeing it and I love making it! Also very encouraged by all the talanted people around me making cool things!

'Sup y'all! We've got something to show to a limited few of you. How we're describing it for the moment is: a "pain-of-the-past" point & click mystery with a verb-based interface. Does that sound interesting to you? Do you want an early say on the direction of the project? If so, then drop us a dm!

I want to try and post on here more often. (I will start soon but I’m a little sick at the moment.) I thought I would mention that I just joined Upscrolled. You can find me there with the same social handle.

The Irish Game Dev Portal connecting our Irish Game Dev Holiday Parties from Galway, Cork, and Dublin. What a great night to catch up with fellow game developers. We probably had close to 200 game developers meet up Friday night for drinks, food, a bit of social games and prizes, and good craic.

Game Workers Unite Ireland met in Paris with 5 other European game unions to increase collaboration in a united front against industry exploitation. We stand with our friends @stjv.fr , @csvi-cgt.bsky.social, @gameworkers.co.uk, FIOM-CGIL & GDRT @social.verdi.de www.fsunion.org/latest/news/...

I'm really looking forward to helping out Imirt if I get the chance, so if you think that's a good idea and haven't yet don't forget to vote for me. 👍 If you're not a member but work in Ireland/ties to Ireland, then what are you waiting for?! Very excited about the new few years here.

🇬🇧📢 Today, with 5 video game unions from Western Europe, we vow to increase cooperation between our unions. Common press release with @csvi-cgt.bsky.social, FIOM-CGIL Milan, GDRT @social.verdi.de, @gwuireland.bsky.social et @gameworkers.co.uk ⤵️

Are you looking to get some Union swag? Well, look no further! We have shirts, we have hoodies, and we even have a tote bag! All sporting our updated Game Workers Unite Ireland logo! Get 'em here 👇 • everpress.com/game-workers... • everpress.com/game-workers... • everpress.com/game-workers...

Hey folks, my husband possibly left or had his Steamdeck robbed on the L89 #Dublin Bus. The bus left Broombridge around 15.50 (the SD is at least password locked). If anyone knows anything let us know. Ringing Dublin Bus in the morning on the chance someone handed it in instead of robbed it :/

noticed a stray lowercase P in our game just as i was about to get teleported. i take LQA very seriously 😂

It was an absolute pleasure, and great craic, to chat with @neiljackman.bsky.social about the Hellfire Club in Dublin, which inspired our recent game Eyes of Hellfire.

Always up for a good Hellfire Club chat, and no better people to chat with than @lenhaunts.bsky.social and @unaminh.bsky.social, who created the brilliant Eyes of Hellfire game

Some of our members in Game Workers Unite Ireland were in Paris for a union summit today and joined the STJV and other European game worker unions for a solidarity protest outside Take Two offices. The blatant union busting firing of the Rockstar 31 workers can not stand. Reinstate them now!

In 15 minutes (at 12:30 thursday 2nd of October) there will be an emergency protest in support of the global sumud flotilla at the Dail (Kildare street). If you are in or near Dublin please go and support Palestine and the best of us who are trying to bring aid.

The global sumud flotilla, bringing essential aid to Palestine, is being intercepted. They can’t hide war crimes while the whole world is watching Do something now - watch the livestream. Watch the tracker: globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/ Watch the livestream here: globalsumudflotilla.org/live/

i think one of my biggest problems with genAI is that it's not empowering. in fact it's doing the opposite of them; it's removing critical thought and essentially taking power from us. our brains are so valuable, why would we want to lose that?

It’s spooky season 🍂🎃👻 (as far as I’m concerned) and I have a recommendation to get in the spooky spirirt! If you like atmospheric, eerie and dread inducing explorations of the darkest parts of our world, and our hearts, check out the incredible game We Went Deeper. s-lynch.itch.io/we-went-deeper

Today is the day our game, Eyes of Hellfire, launches in early access. 🎉 To mark the occasion I thought I might share a bit of a thread 🧵 plotting some of the milestones of development of the game from a narrative design perspective.

Game Rant sits down with veteran actor Liam Cunningham to discuss his role as the mysterious host in the upcoming social horror game Eyes of Hellfire.

We're releasing Eyes of Hellfire in early access this week. To quiet the internal screaming of "OMGITSNOTREADYTHEBUGSTHEBUGS!!" I've been looking back at the progress of development. Here's the first video of a playable prototype I have saved, from Oct '23. A lot has changed but the core is there

I recently had the opportunity to chat with @gambrinous.com and @lenhaunts.bsky.social about the local legends behind Eyes of Hellfire, authentic Irish representation and creating a gothic horror "Friction Co-op" experience. www.shacknews.com/article/1454...

*heavy breathing*

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Our open beta is launching on July 30th!! Make sure you sign up to be able to test our game with friends ahead of Early Access launch :)) Best played with proximity chat and 3-5 players.

I CAN DRAW WELL WHEN I NEED TO!
