Queer solo game developer with a strong affinity for cats, complex narratives, and doing the right thing. Current project: Bean Sidhe, a story of Irish history, death and resistance. Live now! https://www.sealbeegames.com/bean-sidhe
The best part about game design is revisiting old code to add features, forgetting that you already solved a problem, then solving it again in the exact same way and being just as proud of yourself as you were the first time.
Controller/steam deck compatibility for Bean Sidhe coming soon I guess!
Honestly an honor and a joy to share this journey with others. Give @greagoir.bsky.social your love and give this a read! He made us sound rad as hell. #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev
Two accounts means I can say thank you TWICE 😎😎😎😎😎

My other featured submission for the 2025 #RocketandRaygunAwards for most overlooked game of 2025. I chose to highlight @sealbeegames.bsky.social’s Bean Sidhe where I voice Gene Thompson. Check it out on Steam or Itch.io today!
Forever behind on my social media but thank you for your hard work, talents, and endless support <3 Grandpa Gene would be absolutely tickled.
If you want to experience the new content without playing the game again, there's a new video uploaded to sealbeegames.com as well. Say hi to our sweet departed kitty, Earl the Girl, now in the Resonant Garden with my mother <3
2025 was a ride. Most of it was hard, but launching Bean Sidhe was the pinnacle. From the incredible work of all the VAs who donated their time to the eclectic group of people that now call themselves part of Sealbee, I can’t think of a better way to build a game and end a year. Thank you.
Bean Sidhe v2 is ready for 2026! Check out new content and accessibility features. As always, any proceeds will be going directly to people in need.
Full patch notes and the game can be found at store.steampowered.com/app/3694740/... or sealbeegames.itch.io/bean-sidhe

Stay tuned - after another aggressive month of life really aiming for the jugular, Bean Sidhe v2.0 is coming!
If there are any specific changes you'd like to see (accessibility features, content edits, etc) now's the time to let me know.
Our VO Director could really use a lift! If you enjoyed the soothing tones of the Banshee, well, now's an incredible opportunity to express your appreciation for their work :)
This is exactly the energy I crave 🙌
Happy HallowEeEeEen! Enjoy a new analog card game from your spooky pals at Sealbee. No tricks, just treats and a very uncomfortable road trip adventure with your friends. Take care when driving - looks like the forecast calls for...teeth?

MimicsNMisfits is one of our loudest supporters and active teammates. If you're looking for truly unique, thoughtful, and compassionate storytelling, give Duality a try. Where else can you be a 1600s pirate and a cyberpunk queen in the same game?
Hey wow, did you know that fascism is exhausting? We're still here, just sleepy. Current projects include FINALLY (??) finishing up Tourist Trap and working on a template for future game development.
In the meantime, if you need some catharsis, check this out: drugfire-games.itch.io/the-footlong...
Thank you so much for giving it a look!! And for @theblitchwitch.bsky.social for keeping my social media presence alive, haha.
Happy Pride! Bean Sidhe is live on Steam. If you need a reminder that joy is resistance and resistance lives in the very bones of our species, give it a look. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/3694740/...
Hey! Hello! Thank you!! I'm so glad the game is resonating with folks 🥹 It was definitely a passion project.
We're on Steam! Wishlist now, play soon. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Steam Partnership is a success. Stay tuned for when Bean Sidhe will be available!
In the meantime, if you have already played and could take a moment to review the game on Itch, that would be very helpful.
Thank you, and stay hopeful, friends. #gamedev #indiedev

I think we could all use the messages and stories told in “Bean Sidhe” right now. This is a beautiful and inspiring game! @sealbeegames.bsky.social did an incredible job. 🇮🇪✊❤️🪦🐾
Thank you so much for playing ♥️ And for sharing with Pistachio!!
First batch of direct aid sent to Nebula and Ahmed. No charity oversight or fees, just people helping people. Thank you so much to everyone who's donated for the game so far - it's a small act of resistance, but it's truly making a difference.
You know what the coolest part about being a self-managed indie dev is?
You can take a week off to recuperate and nothing falls apart (but you do log back in to 500+ Discord messages).
Happy Monday!
Thank you!! It's been a labor of love and I'm so excited to see people enjoying playing it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
Sure!! God willing there won't be any enormous updates but you never know how fancy I might get with petting the cat 😎
"But where was your launch day bug?" you may ask. Because we all know, there's ALWAYS a launch day bug.
Apparently it was in the donation button for the full walkthrough. It's fixed now, and I get to be annoyed about a bug that WASN'T my fault. Win/win!
Look at all these beautiful souls that gave Bean Sidhe its voice ♥️
Watch our very own QA Maestro roll through the game he broke about two dozen times and... hopefully not break it this time.
