If you're a digital artist who's Irish or based in Ireland and loves game UI, send me your portfolio link. Wanna keep track of all the good folks for future funding opps. ✌️ Shares welcome!
We feel very strongly about this. In our view there is no place for GenAI in the art of making a game.
Is it even legal to play a demo this much??
We deeply care about human work and the amazing things humans are at the core of. We have no interest in engaging with works that forgo human creativity.
Great video here by @euphoriaap.bsky.social . We can all do so much better for this world.
We at Organic Matters also stand with people and are against the use of generative AI in our games! We make games by humans and for humans.

A chairde: So thrilled to have been interviewed for My Perfect Console. At the time, I hadn't announced our studio or game, so I was selectively vague, haha! We spoke about my adoption, racism, the #Irishlanguage, the spiralling games industry & more.
What a delight Simon is!
I can now see how someone that didnt read this instruction would be having difficulty with the installation...
Good thing I definitely read this before removing the zip tie..
Just a month ago @sirbeans.bsky.social and I officially launched our indie Irish studio @organicmatters.bsky.social! And we're making something cool 🌱
Here's how we came to be youtu.be/A1bXyBitT64?... #gamedev #indiegames #ireland #irish
Here's a little something I've been working on. This is the intro to a foraging scene. I've been messing around with particle effects to bring some subtle movement to the scene. What do you think? (Work in progress btw!!) ~ DC
Hey folks! Not in a position to hire *yet*, but looking for folks to keep in mind who are particularly good at UI art/design! Must have previous XP in making UI for games (even jam games). So if that's you, please send me a link to your portfolio/work so we can keep it on file. NO AI. <3 🎨 ~ ÚMK
If you don't have enough pain and suffering in your life you should play @fallosophygame.com. 10/10 so far.
The FAI are making an absolute balls of this. The game should never be going ahead. Spineless from the FAI and spineless responses from the manager in yesterday's press conference. Fair play to Bazunu and the few other players that supported him in not playing the game.
Looking forward to the anger this game is going to bring out in me! If the demo is anything to go by there will be a lot of anger.
We're launching Sparrow Warfare on November 16th! Mark the date in your calendar. The birds will need you! The storyteller will hate you.
Hey! Did you know we have an upcoming Steam event called BIRDS OF PLAY celebrating 140 bird games?
October 10th to 16th on good old Steam! No link until it's live, but in the meantime you can find details and assets here:
