Today we spent time at the Hill of Tara capturing reference and photogrammetry for Emerald Blood: Songs of the Ancients. ☘️

Using RealityScan, we captured the Lia Fáil and a number of the monuments and features across Tara so we can recreate this incredible place as faithfully as possible in-game.

A huge thank you to the Office of Public Works for granting us permission to carry out the capture and for helping make today possible.

Every scan brings us one step closer to building the Ireland we want players to experience.

The old world was never gone. It was waiting beneath the soil. ☘️

Emerald Blood: Songs of the Ancients is now available to wishlist on Steam!

We’re developing a cinematic third person RPG inspired by Irish mythology, history, archaeology, folklore and Gaeilge.

Follow Ailbhe O’Sullivan, a modern archaeologist whose work near the Hill of Tara draws her into an older Ireland, where the stories she has spent her life studying become her reality.

Our Steam coming soon page going live is a huge milestone for our small Irish studio. There’s plenty of work ahead, and we’re excited to share the journey with you.

🎮 A small but important milestone for Mac Uaid Enterprises, we have officially released our first game.

Liffey Run is now available on Google Play.

Liffey Run was deliberately designed to be a small, annoying and somewhat fun arcade game. You run, dodge obstacles, collect coins, inevitably crash into something and then convince yourself that the next attempt will definitely go better.

Probably.

While it is a very different project from Emerald Blood, developing Liffey Run gave us the opportunity to take a game through the complete release process, including development in Unreal Engine, Android optimisation, testing across different physical devices, Google Play deployment and advertising integration.

It is therefore a particularly important little milestone for us, Liffey Run is the first commercially released game from Mac Uaid Enterprises Limited.

If you have an Android phone, give it a go and let us know how badly we managed to annoy you.

📱 Google Play and more information:

Emerald Blood: Songs of the Ancients remains our flagship game and continues in development.

🎮 We shipped a game.

Liffey Run is now officially available on Google Play.

We designed Liffey Run to be exactly what it is, a small, annoying and somewhat fun game you can jump into for a few minutes, try to beat your score, crash into something, get annoyed and immediately try again. 😂

It is absolutely not Emerald Blood, nor was it ever intended to be.

For us, this little game also had another purpose. It gave us the opportunity to take a project through the full process, Unreal Engine development, Android optimisation, physical device testing, Google Play testing, advertising integration and finally a commercial release.

That makes Liffey Run the first commercially released game from Mac Uaid Enterprises Limited.

Dodge obstacles, collect coins, chase your high score and try not to launch yourself into a car.

📱 Available now on Android via Google Play

🎂💚 WE ARE ONE!

Today marks exactly One Year of Mac Uaid Enterprises.

On 20 August 2025, we officially started our journey as an Irish indie game studio.

One year later...

5 versions of Ailbhe

8 major versions of Chapter One

2 major Unreal Engine migrations

UE 5.4 → 5.6 → 5.8

And an unbelievable amount learned along the way. 🎮🇮🇪

During our first year, Emerald Blood: Songs of the Ancients moved into active development.

We developed Léargas, continued shaping The Calling at Tara, built our animation and cinematic workflows, established professional Perforce source control within our AWS infrastructure, joined IMIRT, participated in the LEO Kildare and MERITS Pre Tech Accelerator, and began working more closely with experts around the history and archaeology of Tara.

We have also started looking towards what comes next, including voice performance, original music, expanding the development team and preparing for Kickstarter.

And yes, some of those Kickstarter ideas have already started becoming real. 👀

🔥 The Emerald Blood Founding Flame, created with ForeverLit, is one of the first physical reward ideas we have been developing.

There have been breakthroughs.

There have been rebuilds.

There have been things that worked perfectly.

And there have been inventory systems that technically worked while attaching absurdly large objects to Ailbhe. 😂

That is game development.

Today, though, we are incredibly proud to be able to say:

Mac Uaid Enterprises is One Year Old.

Thank you to everyone who has followed Emerald Blood, shared our work, offered advice, taken meetings, supported us or simply watched this project grow.

💚 On to Year Two.

We have written the full story of our first year here:

Mac Uaid Enterprises celebrates its first anniversary, from Emerald Blood and Irish games development to technology, heritage research, enterprise support and the foundations for year two.
