A pioneering Scottish video games developer best known for its console editions of global phenomenon Minecraft has opened its first Edinburgh office as work on its next major release intensifies. Award-winning 4J Studios - founded in 2005 by Chris van der Kuyl and Paddy Burns - said its new studio on the capital's George Street will be home to staff focused on software and design roles. A recruitment drive is now underway to tap into the city's games sector talent pool. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Dundee-based firm, which employs more than 50 people, is best known for its work on the Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo console editions of Minecraft. It is currently sharpening its focus on the development and delivery of a major new release, entitled Reforj. 4J Studios was founded in 2005 by Paddy Burns, left, and Chris van der Kuyl. The game is being developed in collaboration with the gaming community through 4J's 'Pioneer Program', whereby hundreds of players have been given access to the title while it is in production. Their feedback is being used to inform and improve the user experience and the games studio has recruited Joe Garrett - a popular figure in gaming circles whose YouTube channels and commentary on Minecraft have racked up billions of views - to support that process and work with the Reforj design team in collaboration with the gaming community. The new title is slated for release in 2026 and is built on the Elements Engine, a proprietary software platform developed by the 4J team specifically to facilitate development of its latest game. Burns, chief executive of 4J Studios, said: 'The development of Reforj has been gathering pace for several months now and 20 years on from Chris and I launching the studio, this is as exhilarating a time as we can remember for the firm. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The pioneer programme is really taking off and it's fascinating to see how people are experiencing the game and to hear their feedback and be able to incorporate it as we go. We hope we can capitalise on that momentum and sense of energy by opening our first office in Edinburgh, which will give us even better access to the diverse pool of software and design talent that exists in and around the city.' Recent Scottish Government figures highlighted the strength of the video games industry in Scotland. The number of companies operating in the sector rose more than seven-fold between 2010 and 2024, from 15 to 130 firms, with combined turnover growing in line with that increased activity, from £38.1 million to £340m over the same period. That sector strength has helped the country achieve a first in attracting the leading games industry event, Dice Europe, to Scotland this autumn. Van der Kuyl, chairman of 4J Studios, said: 'Dice Europe coming to Edinburgh and Dundee is a major moment of international recognition for our home-grown industry. It's vital that the sector and government use this as a catalyst for further cooperation and collaboration, creating the best possible conditions for the many brilliant individuals and studios we have within the sector in Scotland.

James Trickey: Don't Count on Me review – accountant takes calculated risk in fringe debut
There's a bait-and-switch to begin newcomer James Trickey's show, which starts with our host in sunglasses raving to techno music. The music stops, the shades are removed and then, in deadpan: 'I'm a chartered accountant.' It's a fun pivot, from suave to schmuck. It's also a misdirection, because Trickey then re-ascends to high status for the rest of the show, delivering his debut set in unusually imperious style at a time when, for fringe wannabes at least, self-deprecation is the norm. You've got to admire the chutzpah; high status is harder for a rookie to pull off. It comes at the expense of warmth, though: I found Trickey's maiden fringe set reminiscent of Jack Whitehall's way back when. He's technically excellent, plenty of good jokes, sometimes a bit facile, his mannerisms occasionally feeling borrowed. His is an expertly constructed example of the genus 'debut fringe show', deploying his day job and field of expertise (accountancy and mathematics) as a lens through which to explore who he is, where he's come from – and where he's going. That's a lot to get through, and Trickey packs plenty into the hour, ranging across his parentage – old white dad, Cambodian mum – his passion for tomato puree, and the kids' trust fund he's establishing based on Subway loyalty points. The latter prompts a section on probability and expectation, consisting of a weak rap/rhyme set-piece and reflections on the gamble he's taking by quitting accountancy for standup. Earlier, we get some material making hay with our host's dual heritage ('Am I being racially excluded from the racist banter?'). One or two of those jokes are funnier in principle than in practice. The tenuous idea is apparent behind a routine justifying racism based on the GDP of the country being abused, but it raises a wan smile at best. The joke about how seedy it looks when ageing white dad takes young Asian son to school is not a pleasant one. Technique may be running ahead of judicious selection of material, then, but Trickey has certainly got it, and his gamble in taking up comedy looks odds-on to pay off.

Scottish museum showcases importance of underwater archaeology
The Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine is hosting the Beneath The Waves exhibition until September. It is the result of a collaboration between maritime explorer Graeme Bruce, underwater photographer Lawson Wood and underwater artist Christina Riley. James McLean, senior curator at the museum, said: 'Eva Bukowska, our exhibition and events officer, organised it all. We have a rolling schedule of exhibitions, and this idea came together to highlight importance of underwater archaeology to Scotland. 'It shows the amazing marine life Scotland has to offer and you get a taste if you come down to the museum. We have such wonderful natural landscapes here and it really is something to be celebrated.' READ MORE: I tried to go to 10 Fringe shows in one day. Here's what happened McLean said working alongside the experts has paid off. He said: 'It was totally essential to work with them. We would do our own research and use some of our own material but we knew we wanted to speak to the experts in the field and highlight their work.' Among the main attractions are two rare ceramic bowls by Glasgow-based Bell's Pottery that were recovered from an 1857 iron steamship SS Eagle off Lamlash Bay in Arran by Graeme Bruce and his team in 2024. The ship sank in November 1859 after colliding with a sailing boat and it resulted in the loss of 11 lives. McLean said: 'It has also been popular due to Graeme Bruce allowing us to be the first place to show off his findings and people have wanted to come see them.' Photographer Wood has 60 years of underwater experience and more than 54 books published. Much of his work is on display at the exhibition and helps to reveal the world of marine life such as colourful tropical fish, seals and corals. Wood said: 'Eva came across me on Instagram, got in touch and asked me to submit photographs from our local waters to be a part of the exhibition. It was a delight and an honour to be invited to be a part of it.' Riley is an underwater artist who had already partnered with the museum through her permanent residence for her Nature Library that is open to public every Sunday to come see the themed books she has on offer. In 2022, she spent two weekends in residence at the Argyll Hope Spot which is a protected place that is a part of a global initiative by Mission Blue that highlights areas critical to the health of the ocean. She has written a book about her experience that will be out in November. Riley said: 'Eva and the team have put together this incredible exhibition together, it feels like you're walking underwater. 'It is fantastic, they are really celebrating how exciting the ocean is and that is the theme that I really want to focus on.' The museum said the exhibition has been received well, with many visitors excited to see a world they did not know much about. McLean said: 'The reception has been really positive, people have been really enjoying it. 'It's really popular, which has been helped by how much the local community has been interested in it.

I think people from looking at our photographs would have an awakening to the weird and wonderful colours of marine life around our shores.' Riley added: 'You never know what it could introduce you to because there is something for everyone. I just hope that people see something that they have never seen before or look at the ocean in a new way.' 'Here is another world of amazing creatures and colours, you don't have to go to warm tropical seas to get the amazing colours of marine life we have here. It is here for everybody to enjoy,' Woods said. Beneath the Waves also features artefacts from the museum's national maritime heritage collection and exhibits on loan from North Ayrshire Heritage Trust. Visitors can learn more about free diving and how it has advanced our understanding of marine archaeology and conservation. Riley added: 'Having these spaces where these things can be brought together and the public can see is great. People get to see something new, beautiful and exciting.' Entry to the exhibition is part of admission to the museum which is open daily from 10am-5pm. The exhibition runs until September 13.
