Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.

boooooo. That makes me sad.

Oh boy, Really enjoying 'Dead Hand Rule' by @maxgladstone.bsky.social The entire Craft Sequence/Wars universe is just such a joy to experience. I highly recommend the entire series.

I am tentatively excited for this. I love Blake's 7, and honestly I feel like a modern remake could work very well if handled with care. deadline.com/2026/01/blak...

Finished Blake Manor! More detective games please!

Howdy game dev folks! If you need some marketing/comms support with socials, research or strategy I have some capacity coming up 🙌 Please feel free to reach out or amplify 💕 I promise to only make one Muppets themed post per quarter 🫡 katynethercote.carrd.co

Back at work for another year! Should be a big one for me. Got Go-Go Town hitting 1.0! And then a little holiday to Tasmania later in the year. I'd love to also find time for personal game projects, some illustration, and some music making. Anyone else got BIG PLANS (TM) for this year?

thank you everyone for your suggestions!! here's all the big aussie and nz-made games you should watch this year!!

Happy New Year friends! A quick reminder that I'm going to be running THREE pitch workshops for NSW Game Developers this year, and they're absolutely FREE. Details below:

Ok, real talk - what were the most FUN games of 2025? What games had you grinning the whole time?

Instant turn off if a mobile game for kids contains ads. Gross.

Ooo Hell is Us is goooooood

On the second day of #devmas... let's talk about art vs inspiration! Go-Go Town! was inspired by many things in our lives, but here are three particular touchstones: LEGO's Fabuland, Li'l Playmates, and Busytown 🏗️🌇

RELEASE DATE: Head out on a gentle journey in Cozy Caravan, crafting hearty meals, running market stalls, and sharing goodies. Available in Early Access on Steam, and coming to Switch and Apple Arcade on January 8! linktr.ee/cozycaravang... #WholesomeSnack2025

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggh

uggggggggggggh

I have the end of year tireds.

Looking forward to my Google wrapped. I wonder which advertising company or foreign power bought most of my data this year!

Frosty!

We’re so freaking back. Videogames. Board games. Role playing games. I wanna show case you at ALT: GAMES 2026! Submit in the cheeky link. Successful applications will be paid an honorarium. If you love me, please read the webpage. All the info is there. Link: powerhouse.com.au/alt-games-ca...

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!!!!!
