- The emotions I'm feeling with having MGDM events over for now is undescribable, but I'll keep trying to help the next generation of game devs however I can. If you're able to come along to this event, I'd love to see you all. And hopefully i'll be back in the future with other things locally❤️
- Reposted by Mara McGrealVampire Survivors VR is out! A game I did art while working with @radicalforge.bsky.social Was a pleasure and i hope you all enjoy playing it! I'll be adding that to my portfolio site soon, but for now, here're some in-editor screenshot of things
- Big congrats to the awesome Poncle team, as well as the amazing team here at RF that worked on this! Been super proud of them all and got to watch this be created right from the beginning. So excited to see people playing this!✨
- I'm admittedly heartbroken to have to put MGDM on hiatus after this year, but unfortunately the demand has been quite low and its hard to justify the payments. Focus will be on the discord from now on Running events is hard ya'll. But MGDM is definitely one of my biggest achievements in game dev❤️
- Let it be known I'm still personally wanting to help out in the local game dev scene in Middlesbrough for early careers (college, university, graduates and junior devs) as much as I can, so if anyone ever wants to reach out, or has any event opportunities, please reach out!!

View full threadShoutout to my various non-work/game dev related fun projects this year too! I learned to make sourdough, homemade jam, made so many cookies, decorated my house in a lovely witchy way and got into spiritualism and mindfulness so much more. I want to look into paganism and more witchy stuff more soon

- Reposted by Mara McGrealAs always if your doing portfolios don’t forget the basics of having wireframes and material brake downs of some kind. List your poly counts and how many materials you’re using. The work can be fantastic but art leads need to know how your using them polys. It’s like a maths exam you show your work.
