In October I'll be running a half marathon to raise money and awareness for Andy's man club.
The charity aims to end the stigma around mens mental health.

That laser is terrifying. Brilliant forewarning setup adds such anticipation and it really delivers.
Love the oversized jet engine for a jetpack. Looks so fun!
Snowy exploration!
I'd like to introduce you to another character from my text based adventure game -The AI! Created by The Consortium, it's recently been installed on The Raptor.
Will its unwavering loyalty to The Consortium and dedication to rules become a problem?

I'd like to introduce you to another character from my text based adventure game - Stellar Simon! Youngest ever Graduate from The Consortium Academy, he's got his first assignment aboard The Raptor.
Will he cope with meeting his hero, Chuck Cluckers?

I'd like to introduce you to one of the characters from my text based adventure game - Chuck Cluckers! Legend of The Consortium, he's been reassigned to serve aboard The Raptor.
Will he save the day, or just be another cog in the corporate machine?

Absolutely! Trust is a big part of the social experience, and I think it can be assumed or even forgotten about in digital formats. Players trust us to give them an engaging experience that respects their choices and gives value to their input.

Over the last month I've been working on my Honours Project for #Abertay. I'm creating a narrative game which explores how developers can approach the responsibilities of a DM in a TTRPG digital translation. Over the coming months I aim to share my research!
#gamedev #indie #narrative #storytelling
We've been focusing on our studies the last month, but the team have been keeping in touch and are exploring our options as a team.
We're excited to take be part in #GGJ this year! will post a few updates as our project progresses this weekend.
#indie #gamedev #cosmiccoda #abertay
Our little roster of characters is awaiting one more friend to join them for our #GGJ submission. What could they be getting up to?

4th Year Uni really ramps up the intensity. Loving the graft at #Abertay as I simultaneously start looking for work!
That being said, sometimes its fun to do a silly side project to lighten the mood. Check out my silly bear.

New Semester and new module, means a new team to work with! "Taxi Bear Productions" takes form, as we explore DES402 Critical Design Practice. Excited to work with these talented creatives going forward.

This week my long running SW5E campaign went on hiatus, as I go into 4th year at Uni. Its not the end, as I hope to return to it after graduation! In the interim, one of my players has stepped up! Can't wait to be a player in this group, especially since he's gone for dinosaurs!
#dnd #newcampaign
4th Year commences on monday! Can't wait to begin the final year of my #Abertay adventure. I've got to admit, I'm super nervous about the #HonoursProject! I've done everything I can to set myself up for success, so its time to knuckle down and get across that finish line!
#gamedev #studies
What no one ever really told me going into #University was that having to do a resit, or not getting an A+ is absolutely OK. Its actually normal! Failure is part of #developing as a person. Don't fear the mistakes, be excited for the lessons they'll bring. Its all part of the process!
#lifelessons
I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with for the last year. Every member of Cosmic Coda brought something special to the team. We had our challenges and grew together, I couldn't be prouder of how far we've come. From a simple game jam, to DES315 then #DARE2025!
#Gamedev #indie #Abertay

For #DARE2025 I worked with Cassie to implement an "input guidance" system for increased #Accessibility. An optional overlay that gives more obvious prompts to the player as to what desired inputs are during the chase sections in the game to help reduce cognitive load.
#DARE2025 #gamedev #indie
Final submissions for the #DARE2025 builds go in today. Don't forget that you can come play it on 30th of August 2025 at the DCA. Meet myself and the team, pick up some goodies and check out the prototype we've made!

Another Sunday, its time for a #TTRPG post. #DND 5e was my entry system, but I've also played in one shots for #lasersandfeelings and #monsteroftheweek. Both great rules light alternatives! Love the diversity of options out there. Don't be afraid to try something new!

Lately I've absolutely fallen in love with #backpackhero. Made by a team of 4, described as an inventory management #roguelike, this awesome game with a gorgeous #pixelart style really got me hooked!

Sunday #TTRPG post: If you've ever wanted to run a star wars themed D&D campaign I highly recommend checking out www.sw5e.com
A bunch of talented and dedicated people have taken the #DnD 5e system and reskinned it for #StarWars! The additional ship combat system is really interesting!
