My daughter is getting to the age where she can watch some of my favourite kids films. We watched Matilda a few weeks back, and Home Alone tonight. The joy I get from seeing how much she enjoys them is just wonderful.

We are looking for a Senior Tech Artist and a VFX Artist to join our amazing team for several exciting upcoming projects 🤩 Very happy to chat about it and answer random questions if you are curious! smgstudio.applytojob.com/apply

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

The hardest thing about being a parent is trying to resist introducing your child to every song, movie and tv series you've ever consumed.

I was very proud of this patch note.

Very excited. New books! Got the new Benedict Jacka coming very soon, and the new Craft Wars book by Max Gladstone. Very excited to read these two. torpublishinggroup.com/dead-hand-ru...

Hire Emma

Ah yes, that modern rock boundary breaker, "Mr. Brightside"...

I find it shocking that I can't create an account on my Xbox without assigning an email address to it. For parents it's just a nightmare.

Has the government even been on the internet?

Yesssss

It is ok to not be at MIGW. You're still a real game dev. <3

So many good games in the Autumn Sale, and a perfect time to pick up Go-Go Town! if you're excited to check out online co-op soon 🫂👯🎮⌨️

Super cool book just arrived. Very excited to get into this. Myths, Legends and Folklore are my jam.

My hot take of the day: If you're a "AAA" studio and you are releasing a $110+ game with huge performance requirements, you should also release a free benchmark tool.

Got too many things on your desktop? Just throw them all into a folder and let future you deal with it!

AGDA finalists are here! The Drifter for GOTY!

All my targeted ads at the moment are competitions or fathers day promotions for coffee machines and pizza ovens. The system works.

Submissions for The IGAs 2025 are now open through Sept. 30th! Developers, publishers, and representatives are invited to submit their indies for nomination. We're also excited to unveil all of the categories, including curated awards from our favorite indie showcases. 🏆 www.indiegameawards.gg

Completed The Drifter last night. A wonderful little game. So nice to play a solid point and clock after so many years. And heck, the gamepad support is great, so it's also a 'tilt and mash' adventure game? Doesn't have the same ring to it. . . Thanks @barney.powerhoof.com + @dave.powerhoof.com !

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

So I held off for over two weeks. If you are going to pax Australia this year to show off an indie, please contact me! I am creating shorts for those indies that are exhibiting and I want to make sure yours is there too. If you already contacted me, thank you so much, I am working on them!

Oh no.

Sometimes I wish I could copy paste system architecture from my brain to my ide. Typing is exhausting.

What's that? THE DRIFTER IS OUT! The next great game from @barney.powerhoof.com & @dave.powerhoof.com I am very excited for today to be over so I can go home and play it. #gamedev

unfortunately my realistic inventory idea was rejected 😅 on the plus side THE DANG GAME IS COMING OUT WOOO!!!! 15 hours to go!!!!! THE DRIFTER will be live on steam!!!!!

Major Update #5 — Tourist Trap — is OUT NOW! 🏟️ Build new landmarks and tourist spawners 🎛️ Customize your town for the tourists you want ⚒️ Build & tear down cliffs 🏭 Reach new heights of industry and more! Check out our lil overview:

My thoughts are with anyone affected by the XBOX layoffs today. I hope you all land on your feet.

Dunno if I should get death stranding 2 or not....hnmmn

Post a Warning

It has officially been ONE YEAR since Go-Go Town! came into Early Access, and what an incredible year it's been! 🥰 We're so grateful to our community for all the support, and excited about what's to come, because guess what?? ✨ V1 ✨ is coming in the first half of 2026!!! 🎉

Looking forward to standing around awkwardly at a Game Dev Industry thing tonight, and then to actually be a tourist at Queensland Games Festival tomorrow. Will be nice to actually be able to look at the games!

I need a sign that I can hold up while coughing that says, 'no, I don't have COVID, I'm just choking on my own spit like an adult'

Be among the first to see our BRAND NEW trailer for 🐱 Schrödinger's Cat Burglar! ⚛️ Cats in quantum superstates. 🤯 Mind-bending puzzles. 👥 Play solo or coop. 🦔 A hedgehog in a swivel chair?! 🔁 Shares HUGELY appreciated! 🙏

The Queensland Games Festival is on this Saturday at the Brisbane Powerhouse. Come along and play the next big indie game hit. We're not showing Halloween Harry this year but the plus side is I get a chance to play these amazing games! See you there!!! www.queenslandgamesfestival.com#exhibition

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Big year of development! I'm gonna be a busy bee.

Oh heck yes The Drifter has a release date. Don't sleep on this one, it's gonna be good! Best of luck with the launch @dave.powerhoof.com !

WE’RE HIRING! 📢📢📢 CULT is looking for a Finance Manager. Remote or Hybrid. Apply here 👉 www.thecultgames.com/jobs-finance... #indiegames #gamesindustryjobs

What happens to SuperTed's excess skin after he rips it off during his transformation?

Man what do I play after Clair Obscur? What can even come close to that.

Finally rolled credits on Clair Obscur. What a spectacular experience. Was way too overpowered for the final act though, haha.

had a super lovely chat with the spitfire interactive team this week, all about hordes of fate and the legacy of defiant development 🙏🏻

If you were hooked on Vampire Survivors, you need to play the demo for Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure this week! Combining classic dungeon crawling with simple survivor gameplay, this #indiegame is one to watch. Thanks @theindiexp.bsky.social for early access! youtu.be/pyi99gIVgXs?...

I love that Brisbane City Library offers e-book loans, but gosh I wish they had more than 3 copies for the entire city.

Vote cast. Let us see how this evening unfolds.

Time for comedy and murder.

Don't let me down, Australia!

No sausage at my polling booth. 1 star.

What an unexpected ending to act 1 of co:e33. So good.
