I originally got into programming because of horse racing at the age 12. I fell desperately passionately in love with it and have been programming ever since. I worked full time as a Controls Engineer/Programmer before quitting to pursue creating video games, apps, and websites full time. I blog about my experiences as a programmer and GameDev at www.gildedoctopusstudios.com. I've made a mix of horror and RPG games. Currently I am working on Bramblewood a cheerful sim/RPG game about working for a sorceress. My games are on Itch.io and VoxPop. I also work fulltime as a Senior Unreal Developer for another studio.

A game I am really looking forward to is Cyberpunk 2077. I loved Witcher 3 and I am so excited that the company behind it is making a game with all the cool cyborg tech my heart loves. I actually really wanted to go into designing prosthetic at one point in my life. It was unfortunately not a …

How do you tell how good of a programmer you are? Is there a fair and accurate ranking system for programmers? Well today I am going to tell you about something I found to be very helpful in this matter. It is a vastly under rated method for determining your programming skill in a real way. The be…

I got asked a question recently by another #GameDev about funding and I realized I’ve come to have a different perspective on this subject than a lot of other young #GameDevs. I pushed pretty hard with studio attempt #1 to get funding. I was even trying to get funding for the group to go to a con…
So you’re a #GameDev and you’ve heard about this great social platform called Twitter. How do you use it? I’m not some marketing guru but I do have 500+ followers on Twitter and I only joined Twitter in May 2019.
First off social media is just that social. You are going to encounter all sorts …
#Frostbite is finally at the point where I can realistically set a release date. Honestly it feels so weird. I’ve been working on this game for quite awhile now and it is odd to think that in just a few more months people I’ve never met will be playing this game. I still have quite a bit I need to…
Just to be completely honest I don’t remember ever playing a horror video game but somehow when coming up with ideas for video games the one that was the most doable was a horror game. I have played quite a few horror board games though and the board game shelves in my house have an absurd numbe…

If you have a game that has recently come out or is about to I would love to interview you about it for my blog. Just DM me.
For today’s post I’ve asked a dear friend of mine to write a post about where she got the inspiration for a recent novel. I tend to get a lot of inspiration for my games from novels so I thought it would be interesting to ask an author where she got her inspiration from.
