There’s some kind of real charm in making models of British Suburbia. It’s only small, but this little one is one of my favourites of the year…

Once again trying to play Ni no Kuni! Makes me so childishly happy flicking through the pages of a physical book to find magic to write in the touchscreen. Such a beautiful game 💕 Makes me want to get better at Japanese!

So.. outside of Unity, Godot and Unreal... are there any other multi-platform 3D game engines worth a look out there?

Help me, Bluesky! I'd love to find and chat to UK-based up-and-coming music composers for games - especially those who are as obsessed with the Japanese school of melody-focused game music as I am. Could eventually lead to a small paid gig and then maybe maybe more down the line. Spread the word! ❤️

Rental Family was wonderful! Plenty of chuckles, and a good few tears along the way, highly recommended.
(So happy I could get a ticket for it at the London Film Festival!)
