Oh hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday , here's the latest mockup from the video game adaptation of Battle of Tarot I'm working on with some lovely people.
Everything is still a work-in-progress and not final at all, but trying to get the visual style nailed down.
@DublinMaker : Thanks for the shout out! So excited to see it back this year, and in a different venue.
Looking forward to seeing all the #Makers showing their projects this year!
We've also pinged the #IrishGameDev crowd on Imirt's discord server.

Absolutely honoured to have received the "Best Analogue Game Runner Up" award for Battle of Tarot at the IMIRT Irish Game Awards this Friday at the FÍS Games Summit.
It means so much that this card game that came to me in a dream a couple years ago has actually grabbed people's attention.
If you haven't played it yet, you can download the ruleset for free at https://www.battleoftarot.com

Hey you!
Do you like TTRPGs?
What about Irish mythology?
Then check out this awesome looking kickstarter by new Irish studio Old Oak Games using the 5e ruleset.
A strong No GenAI stance, all human made which is always great to see in this day and age.
It's not final art, but just wanted to share the Battle of Tarot key art sketch I was able to squeeze into my schedule the past couple days for a pitch deck.
I'm getting really excited to make this game!
Happy 2025! Forgot we had this set up. We will not be updating on xitter anymore, and we can finally call ourselves "GameCraft".

Hey Irish Game Workers, It’s important we push for better pay and conditions for those who work in games. As we’ve seen the last few years with multiple large scale layoffs, our employment isn’t guaranteed even when we do good work.
Fill out the confidential survey below 👇
Do you work in games in Ireland? Then please fill out this survey to help us build a sustainable industry!
It’s about time we had better negotiating power at the table for building lasting careers and a sustainable industry.

My head says I should be working on content, but my heart wants more systems.
Today's explodyness experiment was a decent success!
The Galway Game Maker's Meet Up in The Portershed this week was busy with activity with a total of 8 games demoed. I think that's got to be a record for this event.
Be on the lookout for next month's event here : https://www.meetup.com/galway-game-makers-meetup/
Yesterday I made my lil' UFO a new tool! Now the player can
1. Make crop circles and draw on
the ground
2. Abduct things
3. Pull things
I might have added a bit too much tilt..
