A feel-good story for your Friday ✨

Josh our Lead Software Engineer used his volunteering leave to help organise 'Words in Watchet', an annual literary festival.

As part of it, he ran a children’s event in his local area where they worked together to build a mud monster out of poems, before he then gave a talk comparing storytelling in epic fantasy books and video games. Josh also rounded the event off by demonstrating a small Unity demo of the lead character from his own book. Great work Josh!
