The reference benches behind the first ever BRINE assets are currently the topic of discussion within the Falmouth papers, and the community is divided. Regardless of the outcome the benches will be remembered permanently within E1M1 of BRINE ❤️

Was awesome talking to Keyon about BRINE! If you can't tell, I have a lot to say about our game and it was a wonderful, new experience to have it all spill out in an interview! Thank you Keyon! I'm very happy to be a part of this new series! #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps #boomershooter #cornwall

Cleverly done Mr. Freeman, but you're not supposed to be here. Go back to where you belong and forget about all this

Sorry if we're leaving anyone on read. The UK internet nerf has limited our posts heavily. None of the team pass the face verification. The other option is not viable nor does the link direct us anywhere upon clicking. I've tried Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln to no avail, any ideas? #1984

Do you ever just get back from a morning shift and spend 4 hours on Fish Gibs? No? Just me? Ok... 🐟🤘 #gamedev #boomershooter #retrofps #unity3d #aseprite #art #pixelart #indiedev #gibs #doom

Studio Whalefall has GRADUATED!! BRINE has gone from a final-year student project to something we couldn't have even dreamed of, and we're so excited for what comes next. Thanks for sticking around thus far- we've got big things coming! 🐠💙

At Develop I found myself having to explain what I mean when I talk about “The wonderful strangeness of Cornwall” This is what I mean, we stopped off at Boscastle for a pint of cider and a walk, turned a corner and saw 5 Falcons and an Owl in all their gear in some random garden. #cornwall #uk

Update: Not a whole lot going on in Camelford! Didn’t see any Knights in Carts, Green Horses or Swords in Stone… but there is a lovely fish and chips 🐪❤️

Future Level Scouting: Tintagel Castle I’ve had a bit of an Arthurian bug since I started writing BRINE, it very much came out today exploring these ruins. Not much of a castle left, but rest assured there will be in BRINE. Off to Camelford now! #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps #cornwall #uk #history

how do I achieve this fan base I need Bazzas through the roof! We’ve got pubs, pool, pints, jukeboxes and sticky carpets - I thought they’d have swarmed in already…

GEDDON IT PARDS! IT'S PEAK ❤️

A MASSIVE thank you to the wonderful @voice-quills.com for meeting us at #developbrighton! She’s the voice behind our flagship Conger Eel enemy, and an absolute joy to be around. We’re so incredibly lucky to work with such a warm and talented individual! Stay awesome Greg 🐟❤️

And that’s a wrap on #developbrighton ! What a wild ride! A huge thank you to all the amazing devs we met for the fantastic conversations, collaboration, and laughs. As first-timers, we felt incredibly welcome. We hope to see many of our new friends soon/next year! #DevelopBrighton #GameDev

At develop:brighton - Where the publishers at? Willem want pitch pitch! #developbrighton

We are here! 🐟 If you want to have a chat, wave us down, reel us in or throw chum at our heads! Look for a Matt Smith’s less handsome brother & Andrew Garfield (Evanescence edition) #developbrighton

We are now on the road towards #developbrighton !! Very much looking forward to meeting fans, devs and friends alike! See you soon! #uk #indiedev #gamedev

guys I was originally a 3D Environment and Prop specialist and now I’m spending my nights deeply looking into the heat signatured eyes of fish people And I wouldn’t have it any other way 😎 #blender #animation

If you've played our demo it's no secret where BRINEguy is adventuring to next. Step into BLEDDY BARGAINS, a sprawling labyrinth of tat, trinkets and toys. Founded by Jaego Thrills in the early 1970s, it has everything you want... but mostly stuff you don't need. #cornwall #uk #retrofps #gamedev
