Hello! Yes please. Sight Unseen by Pretty Interesting Experiences (doras.to/piexp). A short VR game where you're a cybernetic spy and can take one of your eyes out of your head and throw it around a corner to see the unseen. Hope one of these works - game's hard to take screenshots for.

Very fun game that's really cool to watch be built at Spelkollektivet. Please wishlist it!

Tomorrow.

The #BAFTAGamesAwards with your host Phil Wang.

All the winners, all the awards, all of Phil's jokes (we promise) 🫡

Watch LIVE on @Twitch and @Youtube

Graphic for Games Talks Live featuring my profile picture and the dates I'm speaking on (april 1st in edinburgh and april 3rd in glasgow)

I'm speaking at @gamestalkslive.bsky.social on April 1st and April 3rd in Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively. I'm just one talk of many, and you can buy tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sgda-prese... #gamestalkslive

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Friday January 31st, 8PM GMT / 3PM EST / 12PM PST Jackdaw.tv's legally distinct dungeon delve aka The Knightmare Stream Featuring Patrick Gill, Charlotte McDonnell, Libby Watson and Ricky Peacock

Join me as I go back to one of the most obtuse TV shows of my youth! Dungeoneer @pizzasuplex.bsky.social will be joined by advisors @coollike.bsky.social, @libbycwatson.bsky.social and @rickypeacock.bsky.social as they attempt to solve probably the stupidest dungeon of all time. 8PM GMT Friday!

Check out this thread from @gentlekevs.bsky.social, one of the developers who worked on El Paso, Elsewhere about a portion of the work they did on that game.

Watching people cook is a beautiful thing!

Mostly I just gotta feel more comfortable communicating on text. I have many things I want to reach out to people about but I'm too scared of coming across as exploiting. It's not the case - but I think this is how my burnout has manifested, so I'll just work on it.

Happy new year everyone. 2024 was a good-weird year for me. Still taking time to recover before I do more things in 2025.

Got hopefully a couple of good things lined up.

Decided to save this for my first Bluesky post! I had the opportunity to make something for Advent.js this year, hope you check it out and enjoy! Thanks @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this, Merry Christmas ya [adjective][nouns]!

Games Talks Live Scotland has been awesome to go to - the talks are extremely rich and diverse in knowledge this year. I'm hosting the livestream for the final event in Glasgow TODAY starting approx. 4:30pm... Come join in!! www.youtube.com/live/rOqEjRi...

That time I painted Caleb Widogast and Trinket.

Love these #CriticalRole minis!

One day I’ll paint the rest! 😅

Jacob's content is the best kind of monkey paw stuff: I the player get really fun stuff to express myself with, but the DM can get new brilliant ways to kill me or my innocence.

This is because Jacob is evil (in a good way). Evil people make good DND content. Jacob is aligned Good Evil.

This is why techbros are pushing genAI writing. They don’t want to democratise creativity, they want to replace you. They don’t even want to spend $25 on an article. They want to spend nothing.

Games Talks Live: Scotland Short talks and networking for the Scottish games industry since 2019.

If you are in Edinburgh/Dundee/Glasgow from 19-21st Nov, the in-person events are awesome to network with the Scottish games industry. But if you can't attend, I want to make the stream a great alternative - I'm hoping we can make it a good viewing experience!

Hey folks - next Thursday (21st Nov) I'm hosting the Games Talks Live Glasgow stream from 4pm-10pm GMT!
10-minute specialist gamedev talks all evening.

The stream is free, and it would REALLY help me out if you join in or share (interest=more opportunities). #gamedev

Have been a bit inactive here but if there's any more space here, could I join? Also @stuartpentelow.bsky.social might be a good add too

Seriously, EGX was so impossibly cool to be a part of. Thanks for the opportunity for an awesome final uni project, Abertay and DARE Academy

Hi new people,

I'll be posting more on social media again once I've recovered from a very intense year. But it's been worth it!

Thanks for the addition to this Stu!

I am looking to pay for a few art commissions from trans artists today. Let me know if you are interested 💕

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.

We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.
