Imagine a museum made purely of the photos you take of injuries/illnesses/weird things you can feel but can’t see then either immediately delete or forget to delete. My nightmare for those to leak. You should see my tonsillectomy recovery photos (you shouldn’t!)

2026 is going to rule and I am very excited for it. I hope you are too.

All I want for 2026 is to feel the equivalent feeling Michael Caine must’ve had playing Scrooge surrounded by Muppets in A Muppet Christmas Carol.

GDC talk on the professional importance of keeping it in the group chat

That's a lot of words! We'll have one wrap-up right near the end of the year to shout out some news/info for Jan, but otherwise - see you for even more words in 2026! (Please tell me how many Woolies/Pak N Saves it is instead of Martha's Vineyard boats. I cannot compute, America!) Happy holidays!

sooo in case you missed it our game is OFFICIALLY OUT NOW😏

let miss piggy host the whole thing imo

spot the Expedition 33 team

Anime openings really do go way too hard vocally. This is unreal to listen to. Can't help but bop. youtu.be/ateuWZMF_Gk

The last time I saw Lady Gaga I looked like this, and the time before I looked like this. Time is a wild creature. We go again!

This is such brilliant news out of Canberra! Congrats to folks in the ACT! screencanberra.com.au/media-releas...

I've dabbled in WoW very briefly in the past but I've never felt interested more than in this moment when they dropped housing. The plots are so cute and the little neighbourhoods 🥹

I am adoring the Driving Change Summit. Such good conversations and I’ve learned so much and met so many brilliant people. I wish there were more game devs here because my understanding has expanded like eight sizes with incredible topics.

Day one at Driving Change today at beautiful Bondi! Had an amazing time last night meeting a bunch of creatives at the welcome reception. Walked in knowing no one and everyone was so welcoming - and I’ve already learned so much and we’re only on the first talk!

The Indie Dev Digest for December will be coming up for end of this month - I fully expect it to be a quiet one, but if you have submissions for December or January that I can flag in advance (as I'll likely try to take a break over the holidays!) please get your submissions in! indiedigest.dev

We got any NSW game devs or studios focused on mobile on here? Raise your hands please, I'm Making A List (complimentary, non-threatening).

Deeply funny to me to be like 'how do we show the quality of this washing machine, or what it might do in an image? I know, on hover, let's photoshop it directly onto grass.'

I'll be in Sydney in a few weeks time for the Driving Change Summit - all about accessibility in the screen industries. ✨ I'd LOVE to see some other game developers in attendance - there's a lot we can learn from film and tv's approach to accesibility too!

We're excited to announce that the Frosty Mini showcase will premiere on December 10 starting at 8am AEDT / 10am NZDT (that's December 9, 1pm PT for our USA friends)! Tune in for exciting news and surprise announcements from 20+ of the coolest games made in Australia and Aotearoa NZ.

Playing Planet Zoo is just deciding to log on, somehow blacking out for 4-6 hours, and having a single habitat done to a mediocre standard. I love it. Keeping me busy in satisfying my builder needs until Anno next week.

Talking to friends internationally, it really does remind me just how lucky we are to have the government support we do locally. It's grown so so much since I worked at then Film Vic. It's such a difficult time to be a game dev but we have so many opportunities people in other places just don't.

Screen Australia's future leaders delegation to BitSummit applications close on November 13th! Genuinely, I have friends who have undertaken these programs and seen how much it's done for their confidence, their projects, and their skills. PLEASE don't count yourself out. It's so good.

Dispatch is so good that I’m only halfway through Ep 5 (after starting last night) and already planning my follow up playthrough. Impeccably written.

hell yeah new york let's GOOOOO

Just booted a game to check out a few things and totally forgot that I had my headphones on and thought a huge truck was fully backing into my house. Great brain, good job.

Last week I finished up at Summerfall Studios after three & a bit years. I'm so grateful to have worked somewhere so special. @liamesler.bsky.social, @davidgaider.bsky.social and @elieyoung.bsky.social are some of the best people I've had the pleasure to know, let alone work for.

Incredible scenes in the Woolworths List function

Thank you for all the kind words I do not have the emotional spoons to respond to everyone individually but ilu all!

The Mushka is out of the bag! 🐾 Mushka is your cute lil' friend that lives in Board - a new tabletop game console that blends board games & video games (board.fun) We've had so much fun working with the incredible Board team to bring Mushka to life, we can't wait for you to meet 'em ✨

Fondly recalling the uber driver I had in Sydney the other week who said 'Excuse me, girl?' then caught my eye in the rear view mirror and said 'I'm so sorry. Lady.' completely sincerely. So funny. 10/10.

What I imagine is happening in baseball judging by the reactions, I have no idea

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh. Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later! deathgenerator.com

🚨DEAD STATIC DRIVE HAS A RELEASE DATE!!!🚨 www.deadstaticdrive.com/releases NOVEMBER 5TH Y'ALL. Congrats to @mike.reuben.games, @leena.reuben.games, and the whole DSD team - I've been DYING to play this one.

We're almost in November! Thanks to everyone we saw across MIGW & SXSW for taking stickers and cards to share the news of IDD. Please submit anything you have for November via the website - I'll be putting together the send later this week! indiedigest.dev#shareurls

Mildly sick and twisted of me but I love to read reviews and track bugs and make spreadsheets and prioritise - the producer in me (and maybe my shadow QA self????) gets so hot and bothered at the end to end deliciousness of Solving

If you’re an Aussie based creative, you HAVE to read this book. Written in 2013, it couldn’t be more accurate of today still. It articulates so many of the challenges so well & I think is a must read - especially if you’ve been doing this for a while. www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/Funemp...

The soundtrack for the unholy-roguelite-deckbuilder Malys is OUT NOW! 👉 belindacoomes.bandcamp.com/album/malys-... It was a thrill and an honour to work with @summerfallstudios.com. Thank you for trusting me to conjure up the music for this dark and mysterious world. It was an absolute pleasure.

A bit of Summerfall Studios lore: One day in 2019, and we were all very exhausted and punchy at the time, Liam responded to a long work thread on Slack with "praise Satan" but autocorrect corrected that to "praise Sarah" and the rest of us were VERY confused. Who is Sarah? What do you mean by that?

🔥 Malys is OUT NOW in 1.0! 🔥 For a game about demons, you've all been absolute angels - thank you for your support along the way & we're so happy to share Malys' full release with you 🖤 Check out the launch trailer and then get exorcising below!

I cannot begin to articulate how amazing this team is and how hard they've worked and I know everyone says that at a game launch but genuinely, most people cannot imagine what has gone into this launch for this team. Anyway, play Malys. It's a damn good game, all because of them.

if you’re at pax and have panadol for my weary bones you legally have to give some to me

If u see a tiny purple camera with a beautiful keychain at parallels pls come find me 🙏🙂‍↕️

Make sure you come along to this! Going to be a super valuable session.

The second PlayStation Indie Partners session is on the Wednesday morning of MIGW, and has been made possible with the help of our friends at VicScreen. Applications to attend this event can be submitted at the following link. forms.cloud.microsoft/r/yaJQN4gJ6r

Johan is personally responsible for my grades for two years and probably my career. Great game.

It's time... the candles are lit... 🕯️ Our exorcism roguelite Malys is coming OUT of Early Access into 1.0 on the 24th of October! There's so much more to discover, including the FULL story as penned by David Gaider, more demons, more cards, and more content.
