Preproduction isn't over until the game ships.

If you’re not yelling 🎬💥 CUT!! WHO LET THIS GUY ON SET?? Eyyy why you lookin at me like that WHATSTHEMATTA WITHYOUUU 📣‼️ while capturing trailer footage then you are not a true Game Director

It's been 6 months since I struck out on my own to be come a studio director and it's about time I did a talk about it! 🫖 Wellington devs: come see me ramble next Tuesday at 6pm! www.meetup.com/game-develop...

This was an awesome event - we had way more people than computers so we will definitely try run something like this again! Thanks so much to everyone that turned up ⭐️🟡🟧

I should update this image to say ""films"" but that's more effort than ol' Daro is worth (and more than he's willing to put into his own damn work, lmao)

I love working in games bc I learn something new every day 😊

fall back into place

AGAIN??!! Wat da helllll My birthday wish is for YOU to wishlist Night Plane (and maybe the captain will announce it over the intercom to everyone 🎙️🧑‍✈️🤩) 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/3310570/...

can't wait for people to play the upcoming indie game Toroa: Skycall

we fixed our girl with the power of BUCKET HAT 🪣🎩 a lil' romance option redesign for that game we're making called: 🔍 "ShelfLife: Art School Detective" 🔍 #datingsim #lgbt #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames

Maybe he’s born with it 💅

Most airlines limit carry-on luggage so it "can't impair emergency disembarkation". Plane Airlines™ continues to put our customers first, with our policy: "If you managed to bring it on, surely you can take it off!" store.steampowered.com/app/3310570/... #indiegame #game #airplane #horrorgame

so true bestie

I’ve just been told you can actually do this now?? And I didn’t know because I’m still using my iPhone 8 🫠 when she explodes is it gonna feel like teleporting into the future? What else am I totally unwary of that you all take for granted? And how many years behind the curve is my UX instinct?

The new Katamari game is SO GOOD 😭💗 you can CUSTOMISE the cousins COLOURS. There’s an ONLINE MULTIPLAYER MODE. We were WAVING AT EACH OTHER IN THE LOBBY and then I got ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED (but not before rolling one of my opponents up) 🌈🪅✨

It's already an exciting week in the regional game industry but we couldn't resist making it more exciting. 🥝🕹️🎮 www.nz-code.nz/post/960-000...

Slightly embarrassed to admit that I am well and truly in the throes of a “novelty supermarket products” phase. Funny flavours abound and I am acting under the influence of no one but myself (and a ton of work stress). Turns out who I am when I am not my best self is a Grape Powerade fan

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

I'm ashamed to be a New Zealander today, it's embarrassing to be on the wrong side of history :( https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/574427/kiwis-can-be-proud-nz-isn-t-recognising-palestine-yet-pm-christopher-luxon #nzpol

The best time to post this was about 96 hours ago. The second best time is… now? (Probably not, but I’m too late to change that as well lmao) For real tho - HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came by and said hi and played the game and listened to my dumb joke about my NORMAL SIZED HAT 🧑‍✈️🫶

i wish i could throw my body in the washing machine

Obvi it’s a big F.U. to sp*tify since aaaages ago, but sometimes I’m reminded just how dogshit their app/UX/general usability is. Like - wdym you CAN’T send a song to a friend directly in-app? I have to go into a menu, then a submenu, copy a link, open a COMPLETELY SEPARATE APP and send it there????

Best thing I did today was eat a really good sandwich for lunch. Second best thing was recording this blood curdling scream for Night Plane

Join us and our comrades @ponekeantifa.bsky.social, International Socialist Organisation Aotearoa, @peacewellington.bsky.social and Te Tai Tētēkura on Saturday 6 September at Midland Park from 1PM as we march in opposition to the new FBI base and US troops here. www.facebook.com/events/65778...

🍿Tonight’s entertainment on Plane Airlines™ is a thriller movie so iconic, you’ll know it before the seatbelt sign turns off. First to guess gets an in-flight upgrade. 📈 #indiegame #indie #horrormovies #horrorgame #gamedev #gaming

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.” walzr.com/IMG_0001 this is beautiful 🥲

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

Ernst Haeckel and Audubon (it’s also notable that there’s pretty obvious themes shared by the two… it’d be so nice to have bigass posters of their work but 😫)

babe wake up new homebrew meme format just dropped

Why do I always crave granola at the airport when it is probably THE most overpriced thing you can buy here AND really hard to eat in a rush??

Check 'em outtt! 👀 We'll have a bunch of these to give away at Wireframe too! Choose your favourite character (we won't be offended - we know it's Acerola 🐱)

Genuinely love when Photoshop starts responding again immediately after I open Task Manager up to kill it. Just needed someone to put the fear of god in ya, huh buddy?

HEY AUCKLAND FRIENDS! See ya on Saturday at Wireframe for the first run of this idea we’ve been cooking up 🪪 Come for the trinkets and stay for the talks! Find out how fast I can mash people’s faces into our NPC texture! Watch my carpal tunnel flare up in real time! There’s something for everyone!!

idgaf about genre tags BUT I will take any chance I can get to hate on source control

*me in Belgrade* ho ho ho matcha pilates in paliluja before a labubu rave

Unreal Engine can produce mind-boggling effects.

Wanna be one of the first to play NIGHT PLANE?! We'll have a demo for you at Wireframe in Tāmaki/Auckland next Saturday! ✈️😱

@frakirk.bsky.social offhandedly wondering if he should watch Noah (2014) me, activating like a sleeper agent:

Hot networking tip: During a great conversation with your local industry peers at the bar after the meetup, gesture wildly at exactly the wrong moment so that you smash a passing tray of drinks all over the floor! This is what people mean when they tell you to “make a splash”

egregious oversight by a journalistic publication. Goku dies like six hundred times and this is how you repay him???

I still think this trailer for upcoming @virtuoso-neomedia.bsky.social game Zodiac XX: LEO is the hardest promo I've helped put together. 0:25-0:35 and the last 15 seconds are me taking my most aggressive song from the soundtrack and pushing it as hot as it can go www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMhm...
