Placeholder assets should scream 'placeholder' at you.

A little reminder; ethics aside it's not a good idea to use AI for placeholder stuff. If something looks "good enough" its easy for it to slip into the final product. Placeholder stuff needs to LOOK placeholder so its obvious it needs replacing. Lorem ipsum and Paint doodles are perfect placeholders

In the Season 2 premiere of ITAV, @serknowles.bsky.social & I chat about her own Village! She tells me how she came to know co-founder and director at Sad Owl Studios @georgbacker.bsky.social playing Overwatch! Check out Sophie’s episode right now on my YouTube😎 youtube.com/@samantha_be...

You will internalize all the mean stuff you say about yourself, even if you say it in jest. Good news: you can also pretend you're great and treat yourself with compassion and internalize that instead. Ask me how I know! People respond well to it too, they wanna root for you!!

Had a great chat with Sam about all sorts!! Was awesome answering people's questions too ❤️ Check it out! Excited for the rest of season 2 🎉

My partner and I finished this last night, I can't stop thinking about it. Incredible game.

I've backed this of course, maybe you should consider backing it toooo ✨🧹✨

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made… Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators. TERF Island needs to die.

I got the opportunity to merge work and hobbies and work, and produced a few give aways for the game I'm currently working on for @mcdoogleh.bsky.social , Rogue Eclipse.

We got Best Puzzle

3 Sad Owls at the TIGA awards. We're up for 4!

It's extremely ironic that a game about people being sad that their favourite club is closing because of capitalism is no longer playable... because if capitalism. Not only is Dance Central VR delisted from sale, but its latest update locks it in a loading loop at start-up, and nobody is fixing it.

So this is really cool. I'm part of this year's BAFTA Breakthrough!

I am SO READY to get stuck into this 🤩
