This is Dagda, All-Father of the Celtic Gods. Playing a central role in the game, he embodies the good alignment of the world and wields the magical art of conjuration.

This is the Merrow, inspired by Irish mythology, a rare magical being with the power of Hydromancy (water magic), which you can claim if you defeat her.

This is my Boggart sketch, a supernatural being of folklore originating from northern England, known for moving things around your house so you can't find them...

This is Boom Goons, a Bomberman-style game you can play in your browser for free. I made it in May 2021 for fun & game dev practice. It has single player and local multiplayer co-op or PvP options.

A grinning Leprechaun with a hint of mischief in his eyes, wearing a long coat, short trousers with long stripy socks and a four-leaf clover in his top hat, holding a pot of gold in his left hand and a walking stick, known as a shillelagh, in his other hand.

House Flipper surprised me because I thought it was going to be really boring but it disappeared many hours ๐Ÿ˜…. Far Cry 6 disappointed me because there was no map editor or multiplayer except for 2 player co-op
