Had an amazing time showcasing our DARE Academy game 'Heldritch Rush' at the @NtlMuseumsScot last weekend! Thanks to everyone who came along and checked out the games 😁

[Abertay University @AbertayUni]

Last weekend, staff and students from Abertay showcased their projects at the @NtlMuseumsScot, from a retro-futuristic VR game to a first-person cooking simulator set in hell, including 3 #DareAcademy2024 games.

Massive well done to our talented staff and students involved! 👏

The sky is blue. LEGO bricks make you happy. Tuxedo cats are classy. Some things are just black and white.

Our DES310 - Professional Project team have been working on 'Heldritch Rush', an arcade-inspired railshooter, this semester. Today, we submitted our Beta build, and I'm super chuffed with the project and the team's efforts these past weeks! https://t.co/3uu4XckT0o

Hats off to puzzle designers. Spent the last 1-2 hours trying to ideate ONE simple environmental puzzle for my DES311 project, and my brain feels like mush now 🙃😴

Alan Wake 2 is already a pretty surreal experience, but it's amplified when all the enemies are yelling your own surname while chasing you.

Best part of my home office reshuffle has been the addition of a desk bed for Murph so he can snooze beside me while I do uni work

[Charlie Wake @CharlieWake96]

Made good progress on our DES310 concept, got grades back for last term, got an internship opportunity, AND I finally beat Baldur's Gate 3 (only took me 7 months...). 10/10 day! 🎉

Happy New Year! 🎉

Shoutout to my awesome DES313 classmates and @MonaBozdog for taking the time to playtest my board game prototype, "Defiance", the other day in uni! Lots of great feedback that will go forward into the next iteration 😁🚀
