Super excited to share that I will be attending @playtopia.bsky.social in Cape Town in December! I've heard such good things about the festival.

I'll be there giving a talk (playtopiafestival.co.za/program-satu...) and exhibiting a new iteration of Canopy Co-op (doougle.itch.io/canopy-coop)

That time I presented talks at @playtopia.bsky.social 2024 🤭

I'm quite excited for 2025! African #GameDev is growing every day and that makes me so excited. I'm hoping I can chat to the team over at @nyamakop.co.za about Relooted 🦥
