Do you know a relatively well seasoned Community Manager looking for work? Does this person like shit posting, understands charities, can corporate speak AND has experience in marketing technology? Probably not, but hey I'd take one or two of them? Reach out! I am looking to hire someone soon.

I can’t believe there aren’t more Rouge-like sports games. Seriously, make it through the rankings. Players get certain abilities. Negative traits and positive traits from weather or team relationships. Tape to Tape style but for every sport. Ah, if EA weren’t so busy making micro iterations.

The most infuriating thing anyone can do in 2025 is start a new job that uses Google Workplace. PDF, photoshop, sheets, docs, Gmail, slides, composing an email, filling a table row, making a new slide - I have become a pro at telling AI to fuck right off.

Every time my 2yo makes up words or ideas I’ve started calling them hallucinations.

maybe the pay band is part of the humor consultant's job to find funny?

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

The huntsman I found, I had thought, took a rock all the way up to the ceiling. But it's an egg sac! What a cutey.

More budget went into this video than any speaker was paid

Hey if Meowth can speak English then isn’t that indicative of a lack of educational structures in Pokémon? Is the government ignoring this to keep Pokémon unintelligent?

I really hope we don’t see a similar situation about the cancelled Black Panther game.

The only benefit of having an Australian accent is being able to say "Tarman here" perfectly every time.

A shorter edition of my Game Pile newsletter with cool games to check out, play and then review. All of them can be bought outright (or are free) for less than the price of one month of Xbox Game Pass! 😮 What a world we live in. open.substack.com/pub/gamepile...

Congrats to all my EA friends for becoming an indie company.

parts of skate are magnificent

I am really excited for the future of skate. Feels similar to the launch of Sea of Thieves? The 'make your own fun' isn't there yet and the cosmetics feel a bit ...lacking. When I was at EA, the creativity on display during Full Circle's bi-annual creative jams was so inspiring and exciting.

There is a bug where it will jump to the other framing option sometimes. Clicking the right stick (which can happen accidentally) will toggle between the two.

Watching American politics makes me think hey, maybe the prequel trilogy wasn't so poorly written? Palpatine was so subtle compared to this.

The marketing of new tech from "enabling a world of experiences in the palm of your hands!" to "if you don't buy this you're an idiot" is as clear as it is desperate.

Frosty is back to celebrate the coolest upcoming and recently released games made in Australia & Aotearoa, this December 🍦🥳 We’ll be featuring exclusive reveals, announcements, and updates. Developers can submit their games now until Sep 30! ⤵️ forms.gle/tt8y9N1dPweS...

Given how many copies of Metroid and Castlevania have sold, as a series, combined, compared to Hollow Knight and Silksong, I’m excited to announce the genre is now called Hollow Likes.

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out. We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦

Grah! I'm struggling with this Silksong boss! Does anyone have any tips? He's just always hungry!

My wife rules.

#Silksong is a marvel, any video game releasing is a miracle to be celebrated. But the obsession with Team sizes needs to stop, the wonderful @teamcherry.bsky.social credited folks, so coverage should too. Here is the FULL #HollowKnight Silksong credits, celebrate everyone who makes video games!

After six months of job hunting for Communications and Producer/Program Manager roles, in and around tech in Australia, I've finally gained some traction the last two weeks. It's been amazing time to spend with my daughter. Incredibly stressful and eye opening.

Links never do well on here for me istg but guys the ABC silksong article by @gdig.bsky.social is up already! 😄 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

I've been trying to gather my thoughts about the death of fidelity in games, as I sit here with my 5080 getting 30-60 frames on MGS▲. Working at Frostbite for the last six years I've seen it. The incredible fidelity attainable and the technology that goes into it is fascinating and ...unnecessary.

It's amazing what happens when you stop putting out Reddit fires and instead incentivise otherwise reserved normal players to share feedback via surveys, ideally built into the game's menus. It's not complicated, new, or difficult. Pop up a survey, give them in-game scrip in return. Win win.

Hey folks! My mate Joe just finished his first game! He has spent his career being a AAA character artist but when he couldn't find work he spent two years going from zero #gamedev experience to shipping a game. You should check it out! Shares appreciated. store.steampowered.com/app/3882180/...

Pfwarrr, Unreal's UI materials, logic and states are really doing my head in. I have been trying to make a five-star rating system for a few days - I just want it to populate all five stars when you hit five, cascading down. It has ..... not been easy.

war chest dreams are made of these

I have also heard this from a senior developer about UXD... "We all know when UX is bad so why doesn't everyone just ...not develop that?"

Here's one for all the game devs out there www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Ohhh yeahh? If my answer is ALSO written by AI would that be helpful?

look ma, i'm game dev'ing

As the AI bubble pops remember one thing: Companies just wanted free labour that boiled the ocean, amidst a cost of living crisis.
