Won't be live streaming tonight, down with a cold at the moment. No one wants hear me sniffing and sneezing lol

So are there any other aspiring game devs based in the UK around here? I'd love to see what people are working on. #gamedev #indiedev #UK

Little bit of audio design today. The match countdown timer will now trigger and fade into a heart racing finale

Two hardest things to make in a game: the beginning, and the ending. Currently going through and making the ending of Mimic, epic, rewarding, and make you want to jump in for another round. #gamedev
