I'm so giddy over the best birthday cake ever! My girlfriend makes them for me every year, with whatever my latest obsession is. And yeah, this year it's Arcane 😁

I watched the sun rise out the sea this morning 🌅 The perfect goodbye before I travel back to Edinburgh.

Having a warm and refreshing holiday back home before jumping back into work ☀️🌴⛵️

What it feels like showing my girlfriend a clip of my kill in Hunt Showdown.

Oh no. All I see is pullup bars. Is this how I find out I've become a fitness junkie?

Can't believe we didn't get a cinematic swinging mode in Spiderman. Have to make do with what I have! 🕸 Tip: remove HUD, add 30% slow-mo shortcut to d-pad.

Sometimes I get asked what my best trait is, and I wish I could show them my gym tracker. When I'm determined, I'm consistent, when I'm consistent I'm successfull. Give me a reason to be determined, and you'll unlock my Ultimate Ability and trust me, it has an area of effect.

Over the next 6 months us horror fans will be eating well. - Tormented Souls 2 - Resident Evil 9 - Silent Hill f - Cronos: The New Dawn - Little Nightmares 3 Which one are you most looking forward to?

I'm either really good at this creative writing business or really, really bad.

Started playing Outlast Trials. It's gorgeous, it's fresh and it's utterly f*cked up. It's good to see systemic designs focusing on player choice, accountability and replayability in horror games. Amnesia the Bunker and this one are definitely a step in the right direction.

One of society’s biggest mistakes was deciding that fast is good and slow is bad. We built tools to go fast, meant to serve us, but then became slaves to them. Instead of slowing down, living, being present...we’re doing it all wrong.

I was the beetle, he was the gun. Together, we were feared. Hunt together, die alone.

Had the loveliest of times in Germany! 🇩🇪 ☀️ Won't be there for Gamescom unfortunately, next time I should time my travels.

Alters is my GOTY this year. I haven't been so obsessively absorbed in a game in a very long time. Everything is exceptionally crafted. Cannot recommend it enough.

I still can't believe I got so many people to read my blogs in the short time I was doing them. I really enjoyed writing about design and put a lot of effort into each piece - from the process to the presentation to the content. Maybe one day I'll get back into it.

Ah yes, you know an item is interactive in games when it stands out in the dark.

Love mechanics like these. In other games, a door opening is inconsequential, but in Outlast is part of the horror experience. Sometimes reinventing the wheel in video games means evolving simple mechanics to advanced.

Lmao, protein pizza 😅 Eating this is NOT gonna get you lean friends.

Scotland wtf?

Taking a little break from job applications with the local gangster.

What do you mean this isn't how you're supposed to use photomode?

I finally played Jusant. What an incredible journey this game was. Don't Nod has outdone itself once again. Would wholeheartedly recommend you playing this gem.

Hello friends! My team is looking for a musician / audio designer for contract work on our combat-focused game! We're looking for music that's catchy, energetic, featuring chopped vocals, funky rhythms, and a seamless mix of hip-hop, electronic, and funk.

As game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com

Wish I could go to Develop. But alas I got sick, so I need to recover, and lost my job, so I need to save money. Going to be the first Develop I miss in the last few years!

Into the Restless Ruins is a deckbuilder in the Scottish highlands, where you create a dungeon then battle through it. Out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2877770/...

God this is so good.

Fellow Vampires! 🧛‍♀️ We are well into our quest of getting 1000 reviews, and we are SOOO close. If you played and enjoyed Cabernet on Steam, we'd so appreciate a review - can't begin to tell how much those count 🦇 As always, thank you so very much for your undying support 🖤

This level of destruction is missing from a lot of AAA games. They focus instead of what I call "set dressing" environments. For some it works and it's fine. But I do wish we made games more interactive and reactive.

Started playing Robocop. I love this level of detail 👌

Just scrolling through my saved game media, like one does, and I found this gem. This game is the best.

Val is the real deal, super smart, super organised and lovely to work with.

Due to the recent project cancellation at Rare, I am now looking for new opportunities. It’s heartbreaking to lose so much, so quickly. I didn't just lose a paycheck. I lost friends, a warm culture, a purpose, a place where I belonged. I will deeply miss it all...

Haven't been on socials much the past 6 months. Replaced it with touching more grass. How are y'all doing?

🚽👍✨

Who does it better?

A butch-femme date. Happy Valentine's y'all 💛🏳️‍🌈

Japanese sandwich 🥪 Been in Edinburgh for 9 years and I'm still finding delicious little nooks to experience.

My last year's resolution was to be more physically healthy. To move when I didn't feel like it, to work on my sedentary lifestyle. Well a year later and I'm still at it. Started off as something simple, but then I committed. Strength, muscle and confidence. Getting there.

Happy New Year friends! 🎉 Here's your loveable idiot (me) enjoying a bit of free time. Getting ready to jump back into work hopefully soon. Hope you had a lovely time off and played games you want to share with me because they were so good.

The last days of the winter holidays ❄️🏳️‍🌈

Photomode has been a game changing experience for me since games started including it. 💛 games

Merry Christmas you filthy animals 🔪

Me after leg day, going up 5 flights of stairs 4 times, running for the tram and enjoying a walk around town all day.

This year I'm super grateful for: 🌴 Taking more vacations 💪 Training harder at the gym 🎮 Releasing a video game 🎙Taking part in mentorships, podcasts and interviews While next year is uncertain for me I hope I can keep getting wins in both my personal life and career.

The two sides of me.
