Watched Perfect Days this evening. I've had this on my radar since 2023 and what a banger. A slice of life that inspires a different view on the world.

Writing for Barrow was a blast! It’s a shame we won’t be able to release it in all its glory, but the team did such amazing work on this game and I’m super proud to have been a part of it 💚🪴
Introducing Barrow!

A Gardening FPS where your Grandma has opened a portal to a decaying underworld in her cottage town.

We were unable to secure funding but I'm excited to share what the team built.

This is a cancelled game I worked on last year. The whole team did great work on it and it had the potential to be pretty cool.
If anyone has a spare half mil lying around feel free to shoot Nick a message.

Working with @nicholasmc1.bsky.social on this fairly unusual game was an absolute joy! re-calibrating my concept work for first person was a pretty interesting challenge as well! ( everyone else wants top down) I made Key art, concepts and a few cheeky 3D characters as well!
