I've not had much of a chance to do some photo work the last little while unfortunately. However, for those of you interested in my music, I've just finished a new @porterrobinson.com acoustic arrangement - this time for more than just fingerstyle guitar! :D #music soundcloud.com/rosiestquart...

S2 was soo much fun, Blippo+ in particular was such an unexpected lovely vibrant experience! the preview for S3 is looking sick. my preferred setup is using play.date/mirror/ to play these on the living room computer/TV with my partner!

Couple disclaimers: - These criteria are loose, eg might occasionally post Edinburgh-specific stuff - I don't have insider knowledge so am not endorsing; I might check overall Glassdoor score/homepage for the ick but recommend doing research & asking friends! - I've reviewed listings manually, no AI

Again, immense gratitude to everyone who backed the project! There's still so many tasty things to include in the game if we reach them stretch goals πŸ‘€

WE MET OUR CROWDFUNDING GOAL Thank you so much for your support! But the campaign is not over yet: πŸ‘‰ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... Be sure to back SeverLink and expand our development capabilities for more content and mechanics! #screenshotsaturday #lowpoly #y2k #indiegame #gamedev

damn... didn't have this on my bingo card

deeply disappointed to find out that the newest zium release has been compromised by ai by its curator (to my knowledge, the others involved did not) who published an incredibly disappointing blog post that kinda taints my ability to trust the project moving forward thezium.art/onAI

Want a character in SeverLink who's basically... you? Or your wildest imagined self? We have a tier for custom designed NPC. Slots are limited, so don't sleep on this one. The campaign starts tomorrow πŸ‘€ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

i remember getting a beta key and providing a bit of feedback for this! the world feels so tangible in it... i can see its DNA in a lot of recent indies, letting you exist in a place for a bit

Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor came out 10 years ago today, sept 16, 2016. i dont even know how to feel about that right now

glad i got to do a run of this over the weekend! there's enough polish and depth that the game could launch in its current state tomorrow and i'd want to play it. so much that can be done with good UI/UX!

Mike Bithell@mikebithell.bsky.social

Fuck it. Playtesting and feedback going well. If you’re in the queue for Vampirium: 1997 playtest, you’re in. Having a very good weekend.

With the Scanned Textures tagline being "Real textures from real objects for your projects", it does create some absurd situations. Behold hay on a scanner. #artassets #designassets #gameassets #assetpack #indiedev #graphicdesign #textures #design #art
