Hey, my name is Ciara and I'm a twenty year old student from Drogheda. I'm a capricorn sun, Leo moon and Taurus rising for my fellow astrology enjoyers.  Photo of me Taken by me I am also an artist and when I finish college I would love to pursue a career in graphic design. In terms of the art I create I like to focus on the mediums of ink, gouache, digital and oil. Prior to starting this course I spent a year working on a portfolio in a local PLC college.    Gouache painting By me In addition to art I also love music, I play guitar, sing and write music.

 Researching ideas for my game The game idea that I'm focusing on in this post is my idea of a cat simulator. Based on some of the feedback I've received from my classmates I believe that this would be a very interesting and entertaining game.

I would implement this by having different kinds of cats appear periodically in the adoption center. Another possible mechanic I would like to include would be a feature where you can develop relationships with the cats you adopt. I imagine this being similar to the friendship mechanic in animal crossing where y...
