Take a look at our new release trailer for a sneak-peak on what we’ve worked on at #DareAcademy 👀👽

Care for a cracker? ✨️

We always make sure our employees are provided with an adequate amount of nutrition. Keep up the good work and you might get some water too!

SOUND ON! 🔊

Sometimes game development is implementing a dialogue system, and sometimes it's creating a 0.1 second audio clip and looping it hundreds of times to test the dialogue sounds.

Boss Gleeble is a fun example of work spanning disciplines!

New #DAREAcademy sneak peek... 👀

Your new boss cares a lot about your performance while on the clock, so expect timely and encouraging feedback to boost employee morale. You'll be constantly monitored while working, so make sure to keep up the good work! 📦👍

Is that a Gleeble...? On a TV screen? Wearing a suit??? ...🛸📺

Introducing your new manager - Boss Gleeble! What could he possibly get up to around the Post Office 👀📦✨

#DAREAcademy #DARE2025 #IndieDev #GameDev #AbertayUniversity #Gleeble #GalacticPostalServitude

It's time you finally got rewarded for all your hard work! One of the new features being worked on at #DAREAcademy is unique ending sequences based on how well you perform. 📦

Can you guess which ending this is from...? 👽✨️

#GalacticPostalServitude #indiedev

Watch out! A Gleeble found his way into the studio and messed around with our music! 😅

It seems like he wants to brighten up the post office for the next human who comes by though, so maybe we can let him sing a little longer… 🎶

#DAREacademy #DARE2025 #GalacticPostalServitude

Lots of features are being prototyped as part of our #DAREAcademy work, can you spot them all? 👀
(Bonus points if you can find the bug as well! 👾)

What do you think of our new office decorations? #gamedev #DAREAcademy #office #teamgoals #gameproducer #dundee #scotland

At #DAREAcademy we're working on giving our mechanics more interaction and visual feedback to add to the analogue feel of the post office.

Here's a first look at a concept for our new and improved parcel scanning! 📦👀

Finally got around recording a video of my 3D project from last semester !! My goal for this project was to learn how to make stylised foliage in UE5, and I'm so happy with how it turned out :)

Breakdown of my process can be found on my Artstation ✨
