We had the pleasure of welcoming Scottish Minister for Business Richard Lochhead this week! He took time to play our game, learn about DARE, our work at Abertay, and discuss the future of Scotland’s games industry. Thanks to Abertay for the incredible opportunity 🙏 #DAREAcademy #GameDev #Abertay

We had some fun in the recording studio today! Our Audio Deisnger has her work cut out for her in chopping all this down, and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on 🔊
