Yup. I graduated from Abertay last year and haven't even attempted to apply for any games jobs, despite it being a life long dream. It all feels kinda hopeless.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."
The cover of The Paradox Paradox. A minimilist style cover with 8 multicoloured threads decending down the page. At the mid point they begin to break apart and fade away.

"Sony sues Tencent for allegedly ripping off 'Horizon' video games"
Well alright but surely it can't be that blataโ lmao
I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.
Wooo! Go us!! We're gonna smash it!
I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly ยฃ40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

My first Official Doctor Who story is OUT NOW! GERONIMO!!!
one of my fav moments from GDC - they had a booth set up to play Balatro since it was an award nominee. I watched for a bit then I gave it a go myself. Crushed a white stake run
someone approached me as I was about to leave
'Wow you must have played this before!'
'I guess you could say that'
Perhaps the Gamers are alright
me: *dies*
Respawn Entertainment the following day: we're thrilled to announce Titanfall 3!
๐ฐ๏ธ Hi, I'm Matt and I'm LOOKING FOR WORK.
I spent over 10 years working for Nerdยณ doing video editing, streaming, thumbnails, community management, packaging logistics, PA work, and more! If anyone knows of anything, please send me a DM.
Here's my editing portfolio: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I feel like I've barely used any of the math from 1st and 2nd year but I can still count to ten so it's not like I've forgotten everything...
And with that (plus an hour and a half), I am finished with the Global Game Jam! And our team managed to actually submit something complete!
Our game Bubble Babes is on the GGJ site and Itch! Feel free to have a play if you have the spare time :)

Script using GDScript for checking db's used by microphone, used for secret minigame not shown
Image of Godot's Engine UI, looking at the animation player, and a greyscale version of the current gameplay
Making minigames today has been super fun, got to learn about microphone streaming in Godot, and although quite basic, it made for really cool gameplay!
That, however, you will have to wait for ;)
I also did shaders. I still really don't get shaders.
