Confirming on the record that I did indeed bawl my eyes out directly into my PSVR headset upon finishing Before Your Eyes.

At LEVEL UP KL, @rinoaskyes.bsky.social and I sat down with: 🎸 Wan Hazmer | @metronomik.bsky.social 🕹️ Suan Goh | @ctrldstudio.bsky.social 🔥 Shawn Toh | @battlebrewpro.bsky.social Covering - What is the state of indie games in Southeast Asia? 🌏 Latest 20m Podcast is live: youtu.be/knOEyMifWcc?...

Level Up KL ✨ @ariefjohan.bsky.social @suvngoh.bsky.social @nomoredaniels.bsky.social @patricktjohnson.bsky.social

Level Up KL brought out the big guns 💪 Snagged a photo with Luqman - the voice actor for Acts of Blood.

We may have a couple things lined up before the year ends 👀 @ devs, please do reach out. We’d love to find ways to amplify your work! (Also making it abundantly clear that I veto’d this graphic but I clearly hold no power next to @rinoaskyes.bsky.social & @antioedipus3000.bsky.social)

A huge congrats to our friends at @wholesomegames.com for their Wholesome Games celebration 🥳 Here are all the Southeast Asian Games you can check out at the event, happening until August 14th! 👇 store.steampowered.com/sale/wholeso...

It was really important for us to try and work as many avenues we could to showcase Southeast Asian games to the rest of the world, outside of our online showcase. If you’re at the MIX, please stop by our section featuring amazing games from our region 🌏

Absolutely baffled by my pre-release pulls. Was able to play with all 3 of them on the board during one of my match ups. Ran a blue-black-red deck and was able to bring out Sephiroth / Atraxa using a couple dual lands and treasures.

🇮🇩 Indonesia developed Acts of Blood was highlighted at the Summer Game Fest main show and showed off a new trailer. Acts of Blood is a 3rd person beat em’ up action game set in a dystopian version of Bandung, Indonesia.

Ive been slowly building an equipment commander deck since the start of the year. Managed to throw in some solid hits but Sword of the Animist has been tough to get my hands on. Overjoyed that I get to add this to the collection- let alone this Aerith ver. :’) #MTGxFINALFANTASY

When covering #LudoNarraCon last year, @rinoaskyes.bsky.social threw out the term "Unbound-likes" when talking about games that evoke nostalgia, grief, & the surreal At this year's festival, she hosted a panel on this topic ft. @imissmyfriends.bsky.social @maboroshi-artworks.bsky.social & Sigono

So grateful there is photographic evidence of @stutsies.neondoctrine.games ending his talk with “can I do a cartwheel?” before literally rolling off stage.

First time attending #IndieJam in KL 💖 -Gave a talk to an awesome crowd -Celebrated @ariefjohan.bsky.social & @antioedipus3000.bsky.social birthday 🎂 -Met so many talented local devs 💡 -Threw a super chill influencer party with @nathalietay.bsky.social 🎉 100% coming back next year ✨ #Gamedev

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of judging 🇵🇭 PH-made games at the IGG PH Indie Community Awards. Thank you @antioedipus3000.bsky.social for the opportunity + 3D printing these sick statues.

Indie Jam was the first time @antioedipus3000.bsky.social @rinoaskyes.bsky.social & I caught up in person since announcing the Southeast Asian Games Showcase: SGF Edition It's been a lot of work (w/ lots still to do) but it felt so apt that we spent our weekend surrounded by indies from SEA 🌏

A huge shout out to @nathalietay.bsky.social for organizing Indie Jam and giving all of us an excuse to meet up in KL 🇲🇾 It’s slowly becoming one of my favorite events in the SEA games circuit - connecting amazing publishers and ecosystem players to a hyper local developer audience.

Both @antioedipus3000.bsky.social and I planned our joint birthday party around Indie Jam Weekend so that we could celebrate with some of our closest friends in the Southeast Asian games industry 🥳 Huge props to the amazing @soyacomu.bsky.social for commemorating the celebration ✨

Lately we’ve seen so many great people from the region collaborating, uplifting, and shining a spotlight on the amazing talent here in SEA. Reports like this make me feel like whenever we take one step forward as an industry, we take two steps back. Truly heartbreaking read:

Made it to 3rd place 🏆 at my local @magic.wizards.com Tarkir Dragonstorm pre-release session! Almost had a perfect run-with the first match up ending in a draw due to time constraints New mechanics don’t feel overly complicated and nothing beats “beholding” a dragon from your hand

In addition to an amazing slate of games, the @iii-initiative.bsky.social has some the slickest production work in the industry. Biggest props to @christopherwulf.com & the team for elevating the game not just in the curation of titles but constructing such a strong showcase 👏

The second iteration of the @iii-initiative.bsky.social premiered yesterday ~ here are some games showcased that really moved me: 🩸 Neverway by @coldbloodinc.studio 📷 Prism Peak by SIGONO 🌌 The Alters by @11bitstudios.bsky.social 🌳 Over the hill by @funselektor.bsky.social

Likely going to end my Marvel Rivals competitive season on Diamond 1 💎 Couldn’t have been happier to cap off the season with a Hexa-kill last night. Haven’t been this deep into competitive play since Apex back in 2022. Man, I love this game.

🇮🇩 Indonesia-based @mankibo.bsky.social has announced that their upcoming title @playmontabi.bsky.social will be published by @akuparagames.bsky.social Montabi is a creature-collector roguelike where you capture unique Montabi, build powerful decks, and engage in thrilling turn-based battles.

Spending some time today reading about, consuming, and truly appreciating Miyazaki’s work - ignoring what’s been infecting everyone’s timelines.

So excited to announce the Southeast Asian Games Showcase at @summergamefest.bsky.social 🌏 With the support of @geoffkeighley.bsky.social’s team, @rinoaskyes.bsky.social @antioedipus3000.bsky.social and I are excited to highlight SEA games to a more global audience
