hey friends, we still need to raise about 800 Euros

I appreciate all the reposts, shares with your circles and donations, everything helps

Thanks ❤️

friends, unfortunately I am in need of some help again to keep a roof over my head

we are moving out of this flat on the 17th (in 10 days) we got for the month, and nowhere to go with very little funds so far

I am trying to raise about 1500 Euros while I am interviewing and applying to grants

Pay Berrak Nil Boya using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/berrakn and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

did you know you can hire me to build stuff like this for you/your project?

I work engine agnostic, can/will build similar and more advanced tools, editor scripting and alike on UE (or Unity) as well (or your custom engine!)

Our next event is on Tues 30th September, from 6.15pm at Water Lane Boathouse. The venue is just a couple of minute away from the train station, and does a wide range of food and drink.
If you've never been to Toast before, expect around 50 game makers, hanging out and chatting
