I’ve done my first year at Dambusters. It’s been a wild ride, but I’ve loved every second. If I told my younger dyslexic self, who was bottom of the class and really struggling, that I’d end up being a full-time writer, I think she would be very impressed!

Itty Bitty Toilet Kitty has been out for a year and it's still getting lovely reviews on Steam. Just seen these two today! Still got a Very Positive rating on Steam as well. For my first solo dev game, where I taught myself how to build it from scratch, I have to say I'm rather chuffed!

I got nominated for employee of the month last week! After what’s been a challenging few weeks with my heath, it was so nice to see my hard work being appreciated. Also feeling a lot better since using my chronic health tracker and walking stick. Feel like I’m finally back on track!

I’m using a cane now. This isn’t because I can’t walk. It’s to help manage chronic pain, chronic fatigue and balance. It’s been an emotional decision deciding to use one, but I’m already feeling so much better for it. I’d also like to think I’m rocking it!

Now this is how you play Resident Evil Requiem. Red mood lighting really adds to the atmosphere. Love the Resident Evil franchise and this one might be one of my absolute favourite entries!

I’ve played this game so many times in my life I can now get through the rock tunnel without HM Flash. As a 38-year-old woman, I don’t know what that says about me but I’m just gonna assume it makes me really super cool, right? 😎

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve passed my six month probation at Dambusters. I can’t believe how much I’ve learnt in such a small space of time. It’s my first AAA games writing job and it’s safe to say it’s been a wild ride, a bit of a baptism by fire, but I’ve loved every minute of it!

Well, the contract signed and it's happening. I’m moving back to London! Over a year ago, I had to move out of London dew to being unemployed. It was one of the most horrible days of my life, and I swore to myself I would make it back. Well, I have and I can’t wait to get into London life again 🤩

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

My first game, Itty Bitty Toilet Kitty, which I solo developed, has a Very Positive rating on Steam. So pleased with how this little game has done, particularly as when I first started it I’d never opened a game engine! You can play at free on Steam.

Christmas can be a difficult time for many people. I lost one of my dearest friends just four days before Christmas five years ago. If you are struggling, please reach out to a friend or the Samaritans. Remember that no matter how difficult things can get, you are loved.

This is currently a thing. Terminator 2D: No Fate number one in the UK Nintendo eShop, above Pokémon Legends Z-A and MineCraft.
