I think it should remain possible to work.

Another MIGW done, another pin added to the collection. This MIGW had its ups and downs, it's been great to see folks and projects from across the country celebrated, but damn is the industry at large in a rough state.

Our MIGW event Group Up returns again this year, on Thursday, October 9th at @sabbygallery.bsky.social. Join us for free lunch and a workshop on how to start organising your workplace. www.eventbrite.com/e/game-worke...

Parallels returns and early bird tickets are available now. Check out freeplay.net.au for tickets and info, with a full lineup and general release tickets coming in September

This Friday at 1:30 pm GWA co-convenor @thegooflord.bsky.social will be speaking at the Freeplay Festival in Naarm/Melbourne, sharing stories from the union. www.freeplay.net.au

We dodged right-wing populism this time because of Trump. We won't dodge it a second time if everyone's day-to-day living is still shit and the progressive side of politics hasn't offered real, courageous solutions.

A reminder to my AUS friends. - preferential voting means you can vote 1 Greens or Vic Soc and vote ALP 2 (or 3) - Dutton isn’t for you - The seats going to be close so your votes DO count e.g in Cooper if 1 in 12 votes changed to Greens, Tara will get in. Talk to your friends & family.

I'm in Japan!

Interesting we didn't get any pricing information for the switch 2, I have a feeling it won't be cheap...

Welcome to the movement, #UVW-CWA !

Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮 We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.

Like many game dev folks, I was recently made redundant and am looking for new work. I currently have room in my freelancing schedule for any teams or projects that need some QA, I have over 5 years of games QA experience and love working on indie projects.

It's been a long time in the making but I am finally launching a QA community discord for our part of the world! It's called QAAA! (Quality Assurance in Aotearoa, Australia and Asia).

Thinking about making a list of folks who run game development events in Australia, does anyone know if there's already a list for that?

I had a really lovely games week, it was great catching up with folks and meeting new people too! I'm losing count of how many I've been to, but I've got 5 pins so far!

The union is once again hosting a networking night during MIGW! It is free to attend for both members and non-members! I'll also be speaking at it ☺️
