Incredible. I'm a sucker for magic acts, but that is gorgeous.

What a brilliant weekend at Shrewkfest! Great to get to play to such an enthusiastic crowd, meet up with friends, and get up on stage with Percy Copley, Will Grove-White, and loads of others. It's a really lovely festival, great atmosphere, abdxwe had glorious weather too.

Ukulele with artist pass and Shrewkfest programme.

An intro to me and what I’m doing as a game developer. I hope some of you want to follow me as I continue to make games and document my progress 🩵
#gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #pcgames

An image with four tiles explaining who Lemon Caitie is as a game developer. The titles read:
Who is Lemon Caitie? Hi! I’m Caitlin… I’m a solo game developer from England. I graduated in 2024, and since then I have been making games on itch.io. The first game I’m publishing on Steam is ‘The Bigger Picture’.
What do I do?
As a solo dev, I’m doing a bit of everything: from programming to art to promotion. The exception to this is my wonderful dad, who is working with me on the music in ‘The Bigger Picture’.
What games do I play?
I love to play puzzle games, such as Moncage and Baba is You, but my current favourite game is American Arcadia.
Hobbies?
In my free time, I enjoy crocheting and playing musical instruments - mainly ukulele and flute.
Where can you find me?
I’m going to by posting about my games and their development here and on several other platforms, which can all be found on the Linktree in my bio.

I hope you enjoy watching me try to bring these games to life!
