The duo that is Dog Petrol travelled from outside Glasgow both days to test out new games! We can't wait to see how development goes on both.
Lovely to hear this from Rhi over on the formidable @sdrgames.bsky.social team!
Thanks to everyone who came along to our alpha test 💖 We had six games and the Dear Designer peer support workshop. Like the designers themselves, we'll be gathering feedback in our burrow before iterating towards a beta run.
Hit the bell on our profile now to get notified when we announce it!
Day 1 was a lot of fun - many thanks to everyone who came along and made it work. We are just waddling out of the burrow to get along to @plutoq.bsky.social for our Dear Designer peer support group before we crack on with a bunch more games! Come join in!
Hiya Pals! Can't wait to get started at 11am today. The full programme of games and activities can be found here:
