Haven’t playtested Hive & Seek in a while - itching to bring it back to the next Playtest UK meetup!
I always come away with new ideas… feels like it’s getting real close to done 🤞

🎮 Been thinking about how prototyping isn’t just for early dev - it’s a mindset.
My 1st smuggling-FTL prototype was a mess.
2nd version? Cleaner, more fun, and faster to make.
Prototypes or features, it's the same.
Focus on making it playable first - then improve it.

Throwback to Droplet - my first real game release. Just a silly endless faller on mobile… but I learned so much!
Biggest takeaway? Analytics are gold.
I saw where players quit, what they bought, where they got stuck.
Honestly changed how I think about game design.

📋🍕 Ran the Kanban Pizza Game workshop for our first-year MA Game Dev students at @nftsfilmtv.bsky.social!
Like an IRL Overcooked, it's a great intro to Agile: fast iteration cycles, feedback loops, WIP limits... and it's always so much fun!

Throwback to when I made Yin & Yang in 48h, just 3 months after I started learning Unity.
Simple idea: two orbs want to be close, but if they see each other directly, you fail. Still one of my favourite and most played games. 🤯
Limitations breed creativity. ✨

Throwback to when we made Fumble for a mental health game jam with @comfiedev.bsky.social.
Puzzle mechanics simulate social anxiety - and it hit home for some players.
Game design can say something real.

Game designers are great at teaching: combos, systems, flow.
What if we used those same tools to teach something beyond the game? What if reflection and learning were the reward, not just progression?
Still exploring this space, would love to hear your thoughts.

Finally able to share some gameplay from ViewfindR, a filmmaking training sim I’ve been helping to make in Unity over the last 2 years!
Took it from prototype to production-ready, building a scalable, optimized WebGL codebase.
I’m open for freelance contracts - please RP!
