Hi, I’m Declan and I have spent the last 4 years studying Game Design. I began my game design journey in 2016 – around 10 years ago. Video games were always a huge part of my life growing up. I can’t remember my first video game or my first ever experience with games - video games have just always existed in my life. I do remember the first game design project that I worked on: a concept for an Irish mythology game. Second year was when we were giving more freedom to go and actually make games. One of the games I worked on that year was Ragdolly – a game where you can only control the legs of an athlete competing in various sports. It features really awkward and unique controls. This final project happened to be a combination of the two projects mentioned above – a video game based on Irish mythology, featuring quite unique controls (this time you control hands). In Amongst The Sídhe is the culmination of work over these past 4 years. The team and I have put so much into this project, and we hope you enjoy the game as much as we enjoyed making it.
