“I have some big news, dear reader! I’m leaving MCV/DEVELOP after this issue to go and work at game development studio Dot Dot Fire over in London. “When I first joined the team back around Issue #980, I said that I was looking forward to being able to put the spotlight on interesting games industry stories and people in the coming months, and I think I have done a pretty good job at that during my time here. Thank you all for reading my work! I hope you have enjoyed my contributions to the
“I asked ChatGPT what I’d been playing as I suspect I’ll be conversing with AI a fair bit, what with me working alone for forseeable future. Unfortunately it didn’t have an answer for me, so I guess I’ll have to fabricate something. How about Minecraft? Yes, that’ll do.”

magazine and website over the last year and nine months, and that if you see me at events that you will still come and talk to me about what you’re doing, because I will still genuinely be interested. “As for what I’m playing? I picked up Mother 3 on the Game Boy Advance at the start of the year, and it has been a delight. I’ve also been continuing to drop into Fortnite on a regular basis, and have obviously spent far more than is reasonable on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters and their weapons. I now have a bit of a long weekend to enjoy before I start in my new role, and intend to get as many Victory Royales in as Leonardo (the best ninja turtle) as possible during that time. “Catch you on the flip side!”

Pet: Frank Owner: Charlotte Reynoldson Owner’s job: Director at Honest PR
“Frank has joined Honest PR as its newest puplicist. He likes having a warm lap to sit on, and eating cheese and bananas between walks and Puppuccinos at Starbucks. Sometimes when he curls up for a nap, he can look startlingly like a bagel. Unfortunately, that means Charlotte has to pretend to take a little bite, which does not bode well for his naps.”
Pet: Sheldon Owner: Jess Thomas Owner’s job: PR Manager at Heaven Media

“Sheldon is a 12-year-old yellow-bellied slider who forever has a side-eye look going on. While there is a misconception that turtles are slow-moving, that certainly isn’t the case for Sheldon. She likes to speed around her tank, as well as around the kitchen which is now firmly her room. Her go-to nap spot is on her bark, underneath her UV bulb light, designed to keep her shell nice and healthy in shedding periods. She did once have an abundance of decorations in her tank, but she would always just destroy anything else in her space. She now has lots of hanging plants around the top of her tank, just out of her reach.”
Pet: Melon, Matcha and Mochi Owner: Sara Heritage Owner’s job: Creative at Ear To The Ground
“These three British Blues are Sara’s helpful creative assistants. They’re always willing to lend a paw to any gaming or esports campaigns by sitting on her keyboard, chasing the cursor around her screen, and making sure she takes breaks every hour by getting into trouble upstairs. Their favourite things are crinkly tin foil, cuddling a Blåhaj shark toy, and sleeping on DualSense controllers while Sara is trying to play video games.”
