THE TRUTH IS OUT #apples

James Poole Games Cool @poole.ie · 20d

This is a message I sent to @lauraryder.bsky.social regarding how her soundtrack for Give Me Strength paved the way for Blue Prince. You need to play GMS and you will agree

I didn't think I was going to post this which is why I'm eating apples :)

So proud of this game! James launched my career in games by asking me to do this lovely project 😁

James Poole Games Cool @poole.ie · Jul 1

Almost 4 years ago (ha??), @lauraryder.bsky.social and myself released a little game Give Me Strength. Was going through the hard drive there and found old bits from it.

Im still v proud of it and it seems to still run!
You should give it a go!
